From saying no to helicopters to demanding first-class flights to CBS
“And Tom had seen what I had done, and he goes, you have to meet my agent.”
And they were like, what are you doing on TV? And I said, oh, I don't even know what I'm doing. And Tom had seen what I had done, and he goes, you have to meet my agent. I went to meet his agent. She's, you're very cute. Let's get you in a helicopter. And I'm like, no? And no. I don't wanna go in a helicopter, but I wanna be a brand. And she goes, I don't know what that means. And I said, I don't either, but I know that I need to get to New York City. So everybody hustled and helped me build my tape. And within a few weeks, I was in New York doing the CBS early show, and they started flying me in pretty regularly. And then in true New York fashion, the producer came up to me and she's like, why the f are we flying you in first class and putting up what makes you so different?
