Prime example, it took me more than 8 months to book Cal Ripken Jr. You just have to be persistent. You of course run into absolute ######bags who represent the player/actor/personality. I have been trying for three years to get Doug Flutie on the show. It shouldn't be that hard. But every time I call his agent, she tells me, "sure, we can make that work, just send me an email and we can work it out.".....I send the email, nothing. I call back and we do the same routine. I call her once every two-three months and every time she acts like it's the first time we have spoken. For the record I have tried other avenues to no avail. It sucks, because if I had somehow tracked down Doug's number, he probably would do the interview, no problem and I know this because one of our hosts met him and he said he would be happy to do it, but told us to set it up thru the agent.
There are instances like the Williams Shatner interview, where the only reason we got him was because he was promoting something, so the PR people that our representing the company will call us and ask if we would like him on the show to which I replied, Hell Yes.

i remember Shatner, it was a Vegas promotion. I think Alan Thicke did the same thing too.
which show do you work for on 1040? the morning show? I think those guys are so much better than Calgary's show, its not even close.
