I used to love it when Todd <br />would go off on a caller and say, "if your heads a bone, get off the phone. Next <br />caller!!" Where can I get my hands on some of those most memorable moments?.

I tried to call in several times but never got through. One time, my father played a prank on me by picking up another phone in the house and pretending to be a TOFT call screener. I spent about 5 minutes doing an interview and providing all this information in hopes and excitement that I would finally get on the air and maybe even win that parquet flooring for my mom. Then I realized I was just talking to my dad. I cried.Dutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582925781774205183.post-90389364279899139092012-06-04T00:03:57.460-07:002012-06-04T00:03:57.460-07:00Thanks for the compliments on Time Out For Trivia!...Thanks for the compliments on Time Out For Trivia! I developed and produced TOFT, one of the true highlights of my career in sports television. Todd was wonderful to work with, we did over 1,000 live shows together and there is nothing like live TV. One of the best decisions we made was adding a laugh track. I usually HATE canned laughter on TV show, but I implemented it because SCTV - one of my favorite all-time shows with John Candy, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Joe Flaherty, etc. - used it brilliantly, and I thought it would work well on our show, and it did. Another major reason the show worked was because of our crew, the best group of people you could ever work with. We gave everyone the freedom to create and put their personality into each show, from the director, TD, stage managers and the guys in audio. They helped us so much, and we received tremendous reviews all over the country, including one in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, which led to Todd and I landing jobs at KABC-TV. We had a great run at Channel 7, had great times, was very proud of our work there, made lifelong friend, but nothing was as much fun as Time Out For Trivia on FNN/SCORE.Eric C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17297011598089803264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582925781774205183.post-44527766787786350482012-02-23T11:51:44.649-08:002012-02-23T11:51:44.649-08:00Ribs, the official dinner of Time Out For Trivia!Ribs, the official dinner of Time Out For Trivia!Brian in Oxfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053368055698118199noreply@blogger.com
