The Maury Show Dumped Me!!!

Maury and his closet homos can go fuck themselves. They missed out on sheer beauty at its best.

Don't worry about it Jess, you are probably better off. The guy earns a living by peddling sleaze and people at their weakest. Besides missing out on some free publicity I don't think you missed much.

Fuck Maury and his freakshow.

Maury still has a show? I didn't even know it was on.

I was on Dr Phil though last year though.

Okay, correction, I was in the studio audience at Dr. Phil and if you'll blink, you'll miss me.

sorry to hear that i would love to see and watch you on that show

yeah that was really my only issue.i did have hesitation on it actually as i didnt really want to be on the show anyways as i figured it was just to make fun of me or something even though i was told they wouldnt be.lol. anyways . but yeah i was more upset with the unprofessionalism of setting it up and not bothering to call me to cancel. they just didnt say anything. so thats what i was pissed about. i didnt take it to heart or anything and didnt cry about it. they didnt hurt my feelings .just didnt like not being notifyied of anything. that was the issue. im glad i wasnt on it as i talked with kelly and it was a "is it a man "show and i def would not have been on that as i probably would have walked off. no big loss at all.

Sigh... Ladies. When I posted on Kelly's thread about this I was kind of flippant in my post saying to get a contract. But this is why.

People in media management are low lifes. They are one the same rung of the toilet ladder as real estate agents. This is why NOBODY with any smarts does ANYTHING with either without a bullet proof contract. They look for people they can take advantage of.

Maury, Oprah and the other TV shows make MILLIONS in advertising revenue. They pay their guests shit, if at all.

I'm not saying don't do such shows. There can be situations where it is advantageous. But where they are just going to make fun of you is worth some decent compensation. Remember your friends and family are going to see it and reruns for the next 20 years.

This is how you arrange a TV show.
A) You investigate the ad rates for that particular show. (Google "television advertising rates".) There is a rate book on this but I forgot what it's called. You can even buy the air time for the show and resell it.
B) You have a publicist/manager contact their producers concept management with a proposal for a show - which will include written protections for you and your idea suggestion - so they don't steal it - which they will try to do.
C) If they agree to produce such a show you have an agent and lawyer - that work for YOU - work with their lawyer to arrange acceptable compensation and legal rights and protections - and residuals.
D) Then and only then do you do the show.

Next time a show calls you, tell them you will have your agent contact them, and see how fast they disappear. They will not deal with anyone who is on top of their game. They are out to screw you and make big money while they do it.

As for expecting to get free publicity - wrong. Unless you have a written contract requiring them to allow you to promote your site or other business, specifying the amount of time you get, etc, it will be CUT in production and there is nothing you can do.

These shows look for uninformed, unprotected people to exploit. They will replay those shows until you are 45, raking in tens of thousands each time and you will never see a dime.

I would say a bare minimum appearance fee would be in the $5-10,000 range, and more like $20-40,000 for Oprah depending on the situation. Plus a percent of residuals.

The exception to appearing on these shows profitably is if you are promoting a book or TV show, and if you have a contract specifying the terms. Authors and TV stars generally don't get paid but they do receive free advertising and they have contracts and lawyers behind the chit chat.

It's not a matter of being an ass or a demanding bitch type. One can be nice and yet businesslike and let people know that you will not be taken advantage of. And you have to do that right from the start or they will walk on you.

Anyway ladies, sorry you got the run around. But it's part of the game - you have to outsmart the snakes or else you will get bit.

Hugs,
TS Jamie

Delusions of grander :roll:

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about or how daytime talk shows operate. Giggles
