March Appearance on THE VIEW

Sorry this took me so long to post. But I needed to find time to edit the video and upload the pics.
Monday, March 24th I was home in NY for Easter Weekend. Me, my Mom, and family friend Mrs. Dunham first tried to get in to see "Regis and Kelly." But the line was long, even for folks with tickets, let alone folks on standby.
So we took a cab a few blocks over and went to THE VIEW. Since I hadn't called ahead to ask for VIP tickets (the office was closed Good Friday and the weekend), I didn't really expect us to have much luck there either.
Since my Mom is on a cane from her two knee surgeries, she went right into THE VIEW front door and asked for a place to sit in the lobby. Security abliged. I stood in the "stand by" line at first, hoping to get seats that way. Then since it was cold I decided I wanted to sit in the lobby too. An audience coordinator wanted to know what I was doing inside, since they'd only agreed to let Mom and Mrs. Dunham inside. When I told her I worked for an ABC station and showed her my card, she said there's room for us in VIP. THANK GOODNESS. We were put at the front of the line.

While we waited in line to be allowed in the studio several ALL MY CHILDREN actors came through the lobby since both shows are in the same building. We saw Debbie Morgan who plays Angie on AMC. But the biggest treat was when Cameron Mathison stopped by. He was also another one of the nicest celebrities I've ever met. He took about 20 pictures with people waiting in the lobby:

(Can you tell I need to invest in a digital camera and stop using my camera phone???!!!)

The show was a day of hot topics and the gift was just their new spring mug.
But I got the chance to do the tease/promo of what's coming up in the show with Elisabeth Hasselbeck. I didn't have to chance to call back to Jackson and tell my colleagues I was going to be on. But they got a later feed of the show and ran a clip that night at 10 p.m. It includes video from my first appearance on THE VIEW in 2005:

I promise to upload the rest of the clip from 2005 later this week.

Hi Joyce, just want to say hello. Girl you look great! Good on The View too...in fact you look like you belong right up there on stage with Whoopie and them! And how about Elizabeth Hasselbeck telling you 'Good Job'..she got a lot of nerve, you could teach her a thing or two :-)
Anyway it's good to see your still doing well. I'm liking Channel 19 myself. I just wish I would have left Channel 27 a long time ago...but Oh well, what ya gonna do? I'll be talking talking to you soon.. take care! Love You, Tiffany
Oh, by the way..Donnisha got her license back in December so I'll be working on getting her a car this summer. (where does the time go?) B.J is doing good too, he's 8 now. Keep in touch....
