Pitching a show is when you have a meeting scheduled with a network or studio for a potential idea. First of all, have an idea that is orginal, entertaining and funny. Look inside your self as a comic and ask, what would I want to see on the internet, tv or big screen. Next, try to soft pitch it to your friends or management. Soft pitch, means not a real pitch, just have a conversation with them and slip it in to see if there is some interest. Next, look at the idea and decide what network or channel it would work for. For all you guys, you have plenty of choices, Spike, G4. For all you country music lovers, you have GMC, CMT. For you gay people you have Logo and Bravo. Blacks you have BET, TV1, and my white brothers and sisters have all the channels!!! Any way, decide on the idea and then try to get a meeting with the channel or network. Usually it is with the vice president of development, the president of the network…anybody else, well it is just a nice meeting. Now when you get the meeting, be prepared. Have a beginnng, middle and end. Have jokes( you are a comic), light up the room with your personality and be able to answer any questions. Have eye contact with the boss, every body else will just agree with the boss. But most of all, be yourself. Don’t plead and beg, your idea is yours and it is great, it just may not be for that network at that time, so just find the right place for it. Right now it is hard times on America, it is our duty as entertainers to help people forget about losing there jobs, homes, bank closings, iraq war…..we have a lot of work to do!!!
