I'm just putting that out there.
They made me do it. I really don't smile half as much as that or CHECK MY HAIR before making large ugly fish. Nor do I do crazy camera angles, quite as many bad puns, or have that much junk in the trunk. I was the new mother of a 2 month old when they filmed it. I had to take breaks every once in a while to go feed Maddie as it took about 8 hours to shoot that 5 minutes on screen.
Oh yeah, and here's the big one- I'm really not that much of an idiot! I know, hard to believe. That's the part that scares me the most, and sends me fully clothed, huddled in the fetal position into the shower. I'm terrified I'm going to come across like the World's Largest Idiot- which I am, I'd just prefer less people knew that. And being as I have 2 fans that read this, I'm assuming they don't care, anyway.
What the heck am I talking about?
I'm talking about the filming of my spot on HGTV's "That's Clever". To be shown.... February 5, 2009 at 8:00 am e/p. No publicity is bad publicity.... I hope? Maybe?
Shot almost 2.5 years ago in the dining room of our place in San Fran, it will now be... gracing... a television set near you. That is, if you live in the US. It's 5 minutes of me acting like a complete twit making a puffer fish. So if either of my fans were interested- this is theoretically how I do it. Now you can do it yourself- if you have the will to take the 8 hours involved to do so.
I'd say 'enjoy', but I fear you may just want to hurl things at me and your television in order to make the pain stop. And yes, my voice is that nasal. I'm a catch! I don't know how Steve does it.
Oh, and for those of you in Socialist Canada who don't get the program, I'll see what I can do about maybe getting a friend in the Non-Socialist US to scam me a copy. Because I won't have seen it either.

AWESOME!!! haha can't wait to see it
Matt, you are obviously much more evil than I had previously thought.
One thing I can always count on you for is a good laugh! Hopefully we'll get to see it!
Saw the segment today and you did not look like an idiot at all. Besides anyone that watches the show knows that they make people act weird.
Really nice fish love the faces, thanks for sharing
Amy
I thought your piece was really great. Love the fishy. I would never have thought of golf tees, that was a nifty idea.
Congratulations!!! you are Fabulous!
Thank you all for your kind words. I just received a copy of the show in the mail and will cringe er... watch it tonight. You've given me hope. That and someone described it as "Yes, you look like an idiot. But a lovable idiot!"
I think that made me feel better. I think.
