Being on TV is one of the sweetest rides on the planet. If you’re smart, you’ll not only end up getting everything for free – such as clothes, clubnights and unprotected sex – but, you’ll also be noticed by at least a handful of people everytime you go out. This may not sound that important to most of you reading this, but to presenters – who are special and important and Godly, it’s damn near The Holy Grail of show-business.
The best place for any young and aspiring presenter to be is
T4. Where else could you showcase your ‘edgy’ sense of humour, sarcastic banter and uniquely bang ‘on-trend’ sense of style?
Before you start hiking on the T4 trail to superstardom, you’ve got to get yourself a family member who works in the industry or
knows a lot of people who do. You may be thinking to yourself ‘but what if I don’t have one? Well, you gotta find one, honey! Have you ever given a blowjob to a guy you just met just because he might know the producer for an upcoming sketch show who may or may not be looking for a size 6 female with a blunt fringe for an upcoming scene in said show? If not, you’d better get used to it because that’s how you’re gonna get your big break. It’s a well know fact that swallowing a stranger’s sperm makes you family.
Next up, you’ve got to get a haircut that makes you stand out from the crowd. Look for a style that you haven’t seen anyone one else with on TV. Failing that, you could just be black, which is bound to help you stand out, right? Or even better, be some sort of mixed-race, because then you’d appeal to at least two or three races at once. Bonus!
The main thing to remember when presenting to 16-25 year-olds
who are hungover/coming down from all the alcohol and drugs that they took the night before, is that they don't want to see someone who looks too excited about their job. Be laid back. Kinda like The Fonz. look enthusiastic, but have an air of 'I could do this job in my sleep, in fact I would rather be sleeping right now, so fuck you' about you. Kids love that shit.
Please remember that having a family link in the industry or special hair or extra melanin are not substitutes for personality. You’re still gonna need to throw semi-witty barbs against ex-Big Brother housemates and the occasional Hollywood celeb. Practise talking with strangers on public transport. If you can spark up a conversation with a middle-aged tramp who smells of urine, then
The Saturday’s should be a pushover.
Talking of personality, ‘likeability
’ is word that you’ll hear a few times out of the mouths of important people who will decide whether or not your stupid little face will ever make it onto TV. Likeability basically means the frequency in which girls and boys will want to fuck you. A high ‘likeabilty factor’ is important, because if people want to have sex with you, they’ll be much more likely to tune into whatever crap (ie Friends/Hollyoaks) you’re presenting. Likeability is almost impossible to work on if you don’t posses it, because with all honesty, you can’t buy sex appeal. Sorry,
Miquita.
