On the podcast Come On Down With Rich Fields, Geno has asked me numerous times about auditions and show pilots that I have done over the years.

Well, here’s another one that I forgot all about (thank goodness for photos). The Psychic Friends Network!

I co-hosted this re-boot of the Psychic Friends Network with Hollywood actress, Vivica A. Fox in the early 2000’s. The pilot was shot at the legendary CineGrille at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in downtown Hollywood, on a blistering southern California day. The facility’s air conditioning had malfunctioned and we were sweating through our clothes. And… the shoot took FOREVER! But we still had a lot of fun.

Below is a gallery of photos from that day.

Enjoy!

  Producers told me they were NOT planning on using or saying, from "The Price is Right". Yet, once the video was edited I saw the they DID play off of that association with me and The Price is Right. Hmm.

  A lot of the pilot was me facilitating questions with audience members to psychic, Christian Dion.

  Vivica looked great that day... and very sweet.

  Even though we were broiling from the lack of A/C that day... we had a lot of fun.

  Vivica was VERY pleasant to work with. A lovely lady.

  The audience was patient and respectful too. During stop-downs they would ask me questions about TPIR and Bob Barker.

• Share

  Some of the audience members were paid actors and actresses.

  All I had to do was to keep the show moving.

  ... and make people laugh.

  The blazing hot working conditions were difficult... but this gig paid fairly well.

  I'm not sure why the show didn't make it off the ground. It was very well produced.

  Last photo of the day... thank you, Psychic Friends Network.
