Video: TV Appearance on WITN (NBC) in Greenville, North Carolina
Last Friday, I had my first ever appearance on television, appearing on the Early Sunrise show on WITN, an NBC affiliate located in Greenville, North Carolina.
It was a live interview and it lasted about a minute and a half. So, my focus was on giving short, but descriptive answers that did the book justice. The interview was just after 5:50 AM and I had to get up at 4:00 AM. Let’s just say… that’s not the time I usually wake up. That said, I had changed my sleep pattern a little bit in the days leading to the interview and I slept… well, let’s go with “half way decently.” So, I was feeling alright and I think the interview went well, all things considered.
The anchor’s name is Heather King. She was very nice and was the person at the station who expressed interest in the book, first and foremost. Thanks, Ms. King.
The clip is below, posted on Yahoo! Video (it’s also posted on YouTube). Please take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks!
Good work, especially considering how freaking early in the morning it was! :)
Nicely rehearsed answers :-)
You looked awake enough. lol Good interview. :)
Thanks guys. :)
Hey Patrick
You came across as highly professional – well done! Now, are you really tall or is Heather King really short?!?

Thanks Martin.
hehe… yeah. :) I’m 6 feet, but she’s probably under 5. And I was standing at an angle. ;)

Great interview. Was a bit comical too in that the camera had to keep shifting to accomidate the news casters height. Awsome that you made it with NBC.
