About Shawn // Viewer Mail

Everyone on-air in the industry gets viewer mail! I just happen to keep it. Here are some of the nicest, and funniest, notes I’ve received so far…many from viewers of “The Rhode Show”, a television show I was on for a promotional one-year contract.

January 2010
Subject: Good Luck Shawn

Shawn you are such a natural that my wife and I thought Fox would not let you go [from "The Rhode Show"]. Well good luck. You’ve earned it. Hope to see you on TV again in the near future.

Thank YOU so much [for being a part of our production]! You were a wonderful audience member [for our production "Putnam County Spelling Bee"] and we loved having you! Come visit URI again soon, and best of luck with the rest of “The Rhode Show”! They’re gonna have a tough time finding a better host…but shhh, don’t tell anyone I said that!

Just a short note to say how much I have enjoyed you on “The Rhode Show” and all the best in whatever your next endeavor should be. You were definitely an asset to the show and will be sorely missed I am sure.

I’m a little teary right now knowing your stint on “The Rhode Show” is almost over. I’ve been watching faithfully and I’d just see you day to day, not thinking about the end… …Good luck my friend! We ALL will miss you!!!!

Subject: You’re A Riot!

…I’ve been watching the top five [in "The Rhode Show: Search For A Star" host search] and I’ve gotta say none of them even come close to your talent. There should be a…button with your name on the [public] vote saying “just keep Shawn, he da man!”

Hopefully you are moving on to bigger and better things. Better paying too!

Subject: Rhode Show!

Just wanted to touch base but I don’t know how else to get the message out there, that I don’t think they should get rid of you [on "The Rhode Show"]. …I think you bring a certain attitude to the show that I think helps make it a big hit.

Subject: Parade

You were exceptionally funny and polite to stop and give me a hug at the Providence Federal Hill Parade when I yelled out to you. I yelled “I watch you every morning,” as I am sure lots of crazy Rhode Islanders do. I wish you continued success in all of your broadcasting career, and may all of your dreams come true.

Subject: The Rhode Show

I have been watching “The Rhode Show” since the first day it came on and I am very saddened to learn that you are getting rid of Shawn. He seems like a very nice young man. The powers that be should really look into having him stay… …Please make the right decision. I feel really bad that Shawn will no longer be on the show (after December).
