Rich Fields Hosts Psychic Friends Network Pilot
Here’s another TV show pilot that I taped during my tenure in Hollywood…
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!

Photo By: Christine FieldsThe blazing hot working conditions were difficult... but this gig paid fairly well.
Photo By: Christine FieldsI'm not sure why the show didn't make it off the ground. It was very well produced.
