3 Questions with Talent Coordinator, Mike Buczkiewicz

Q. What makes for a great human interest guest?
A. Not to sound cliche, but you just know it when you see it. Authentic, genuine people who really believe in their talent or occupation tend to make the best guests.

Q. Do you pre-interview or have people perform their talent for you in person?
A. We do a lot of phone pre-interviews, but we really encourage everyone to send in a video tape, especially if they have a unique skill or occupation. Our time is pretty evenly divided between searching for guests, watching hours of tape, and interviewing all sorts of interesting people on the phone.

Q. How many t-shirts did you have ready for Matt McCallister and his World Record-breaking t-shirt segment?
A. I believe we had a little over 170 ready to go. I kept one of the size 10X's for myself -- I'm going to try and cover my car with it.
