Anybody ever been on TV?

Yeah, a few times. Do what the producer tells you to do and you'll be fine. They are the pros in this arena, not you. One bandmember tried to be the boss and it didn't end well. We did the show but weren't asked back, even after he got canned. I guess every show is different and certain protocols must be followed in each situation. Keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut (unless you're singing). Hope this helps and break a leg.

Thanks for your good wishes, but the show was in 2017. I wouldn't dream of trying to direct!

I and the people in my office sang “Oh What a Beautiful Morning” live on Good Morning America about thirty years ago.

I’ve done dozens of radio and TV interviews over the years. I can’t say I love it, but you get used to it after a few times.
