Sometimes my job can be boring and simply eight hours behind a desk. Sometimes, it can be hectic filled with meetings all over the place followed by strict deadlines. And sometimes, my job can be a lot fun. I like days like that. For example, this morning I had to be in Malibu at 9 for a video piece titled, "Ask The Hoff". The reason I had to be in Malibu was I had to report to duty at David Hasselhoff's very-own Malibu beach house. I had produced the same feature last year, but at his house in the Mountaingate Estates in the hills. But, the beach house was something I had only dreamed of being invited to. It was something out of the movies. The waves literally came crashing right below his desk. When I joked that I should have brought my surfboard and call it a day, he offered up the invitation that any time I wanted a place to surf, I could use the house. Something tells me has forgotten that invitation by now. Oh well, at least he gave me a story.
While shooting the segment with my video producer, I also played David's assistant. I answered his phone, took messages. Meanwhile, he never stops. He truly is one of the hardest working men in show business and I guess that is how he has managed to stay relevant all these years. I give the man credit, his brain goes a hundred miles a minute thinking of ideas and contacts and ways to get his name spread to even further.
The shoot wrapped up at around 10.30 and I got a hug and a kiss on the cheek for all of my hard work. Thanks, Hoff! Look for the feature on NBC.com in September. Can't wait to see how the finished product turned out.
