33rd Annual New England Emmy Award Nominee
1By Shawn in : News, Television // Apr 13 2010
BOSTON, MA – “It’s an honor just to be nominated”. That is the sentence people who do not receive an Emmy award say just after the announcement of their loss.
However, let it be known that today, a good 38 days before the May 22nd Boston/New England Emmy awards that, IT IS AN HONOR TO BE NOMINATED!
Honestly, I am so thrilled to be recognized by my peers and receive a nomination in the category of Outstanding On-Camera Talent – Program Host/Moderator…I cannot begin to explain. Ever since I was 8 years old, my one goal in life has been to make an honest living working on the air in television and radio. There was the hitch of actually being alright at it, and then finding a like-minded station that agrees that you are.
Luckily, I was given a great opportunity by WNAC-TV in Providence, RI to co-host “The Rhode Show”, a show that in less than a year’s time increased ratings exponentially, and beat two out of three national morning shows. That experience was incredible, and the fact that a group of professionals elsewhere in the country think I did a good enough job to be a nominee boggles my mind, and humbles my heart.
This is a huge honor for me, regardless of the outcome! So happy! I’ve already got my date for the big event…my father! You should be very jealous. He’s dashing and handsome. And ladies, he’s single.
UPDATE 05/22/2010
Well the Emmy’s just took place, and congratulations to WCVB‘s Anthony Everett who took home the Emmy for his work on “Chronicle”. Honest to God, if you had told me I’d be up against him for an Emmy a couple years ago, I would have laughed in your face…so humbled to be considered in the same category as him!
