Larry King

Due to the writer’s strike over at Mamma Talk Bloggy Studios, we will be airing a recent episode of Larry King Live. Mamma Talk executives felt this episode was pertinent to all informed Mamma Talk readers.

Larry King: Tonight, I’ve got an exclusive interview with the lady blogger who has been making headlines. That’s right, none other than the one and only Mamma Talk is here.
We’ll be back for a face to face talk after this…

(Commercial. Commercial. Commercial. Etc.)

Larry King: We’re back here on Larry King Live with the Mamma. Mamma, welcome here tonight.

Mamma Talk: Thanks, Larry. Good to be here.

Larry King: You look well under the circumstances. Can you tell me how this writer’s strike over at Mamma Talk began?

Mamma Talk: I’m so glad to be here to tell my side of the story tonight, Larry. So much has been said about this in the press.

Larry: Yes, I saw the tabloid pictures.

Mamma Talk: Pictures? Larry, those shots were doctored. I’ve never even met Nikki Crumpet. Besides, as I have stated before, she was standing in my light.

Larry: Hmmmm…

Mamma Talk: It all began with a little blog about 6 months ago. I was at home with my two young children. I was in the need of some intellectual challenge.

Larry King: I see.

Mamma Talk: And I started blogging and blogging. And still no pay. No benefits. No 401 K.

Larry King: Interesting.

Mamma Talk: I felt taken advantage of, used, tossed aside…even a little invisible. (squeak)

Larry King: And, you weren’t aware that blogging was not a salaried position?

Mamma Talk: What?

Larry King: I mean, prior to starting your mom blog, you thought there would be…What?... a paycheck or something?

Mamma Talk: (Sigh) All I’m asking for is a little support! A little empathy. A little comment here or there. Mention me to your friends. Subscribe via Feedburner, maybe?

Larry King: That doesn’t seem like a lot to ask. But, you did know, didn’t you, that blogging is not a salaried position. Most blogs make pennies or nothing at all.

Mamma Talk: Larry, why are you grilling me?

Larry King: Just asking a question. I don’t think I’m grilling you. Am I?

Mamma Talk: Larry, did the Big Wigs over at Mamma Talk Studios get to you first? Slip ya a twenty maybe?

Larry King: Absolutely!

Mamma talk: GRRR!

Larry King: I’ve heard you growl a lot on your blog.

Mamma Talk: Yeah, ya got that right, Mister. And, step aside, YOU’RE STANDING IN MY LIGHT!!!

Panicked Director off camera: Cut to commercials, for crying out loud!!!
