The Call That Never Came

[MarleysGh0st]

I went to a taping once, and the contestant had a tie with a cartoon character on it (I think it was a Looney Tunes character). They started taping the show, and then during the initial banter before the game started they stopped tape. They made him take off his tie and put another tie on, and then they started taping all over again.

I think they might have hit on something. Speaking of ties, I had to sign a release so that they could show my episode while wearing the tie my daughter designed when she was 5 - and it had no characters on it except some stick figures (that is virtually impossible to see on the tape).

But your daughter would have the rights to that artwork and I bet she didn't sign a release!

How much would you like to bet that the paperwork frogman signed included an indemnity agreement? --Bob

In non-legalese, that means frogman agreed to pay any licensing fee that his daughter might, conceivably come about SyndieBAM for?

It means that if frogman wearing that tie cost SyndieBAM money for any reason, frogman agreed to pay it. --Bob

Which is what I said, in more general terms.

And, as I suggested yesterday, might have been paperwork tmitsss would have gladly signed, in re: his flying monkey costume.

Repeating yesterday's question: Does anyone have any ballpark estimate for a licensing fee like that? Suppose a daytime soap wanted to film a Halloween party scene featuring a character in a flying monkey costume. Surely there's some reasonable and customary rate for that?

SuitDude -- I didn't get to say this before, but I'm so sorry this all didn't work out for you. I was really looking forward to seeing you finally get your chance in the Hot Seat, even as a flying monkey.

(I know you're voting for McCain, so please ignore my avatar -- it's nothing personal.)

Actually, I can see something of a flying monkey impersonation in Senator McCain's pose; no doubt done as a gesture of support!

Perhaps Suit Dude will become next week's Joe the Plumber.

That kinda sounds like to start of a scary Halloween story.

Another Halloween YAY! Go for the treats!

On a related note, where's suitguy's Halloween show call??? If he doesn't get one, the other costumes must have been truly spectacular.

I started a new thread cause I didn't want to rain on Rafferty's parade. There was no Halloween call to me, I don't even know if they are having a Halloween week. I did hear of rumor of one. I'll be looking for Halloween promos.

I gave it my best shot, perhaps I was a bit over the top. It was a lot of fun dreaming about running the stack as a Flying Monkey and the kind of sensation that would have created. TPTB didn't share that dream.

This pisses me off.

Pisses me off

I am sorry TMiTSSS. Can you still be called for a regular show?
