My First, and Unfortunately Not My Last, TV Interview

I had my first TV interview yesterday - it was a fantastic experience - until I saw myself on TV!!  The people at ABC were so nice and helpful and made me feel very comfortable - as comfortable as I could be doing a LIVE TV interview!!  Here's a link in case you want to watch - it wasn't perfect but it was better than I expected - I didn't faint or have a major brain freeze! 

The wonderful marketers for Cheerios put me and my two sisters up in a beautiful hotel right across the street from the studio - which we appreciated at 6:00 in the morning! 



At the studio, we waited in the "Green Room" 


My sister, Mindy, wrote, "The Grusin sisters were here" on the wall!
                                                                                                            
I was "miked" by Mike - really!






I was interviewed by Kevin Roy,
who did a wonderful job of
covering for my flubs!!
                                                       

  


The "news room" is a lot smaller than I thought it would be.  There was a small platform off to the side where Kevin and I sat for my interview.  I don't have a picture of us together because I made my sisters leave right before Kevin sat down.  I was afraid I'd look at them and start laughing so they watched in the green room! 
                  




Here's a view of the set from the sidewalk in front of the building.  The whole thing was very cool!!
