TRL Pet Semetary
Here's another entry in the TRL Graveyard. When I found out Seth Green was coming to TRL in March to promote the DVD release of Robot Chicken, I suggested having their production team create a cold open for the show. My boss asked me to write up some concepts. It turns out it would cost us a boatload of money for them to shoot a 30-second segment, so that's out the window. But this was my favorite of my pitches:
(FADE UP AS THE THEME FROM BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN PLAYS. WE SEE SOLO SHOTS OF VJ DAMIEN AND SETH GREEN SMILING)
(TEXT ON BLACK: “IT WAS AN INTERVIEW…”)
DAMIEN
-SETH GREEN EVERYBODY!
-SO SETH, TELL US ABOUT ROBOT CHICKEN
(TEXT ON BLACK: “THAT BECAME A FRIENDSHIP”)
SETH
-DAMIEN, I'M GONNA BE IN THE CITY FOR A FEW DAYS
-WANNA GRAB A DRINK ONE NIGHT?
DAMIEN
-SURE, THAT’D BE GREAT
(TEXT ON BLACK: “THERE ARE LIES WE HAVE TO TELL”)
SETH
-YOU THINK “FOUR KINGS” IS FUNNY, RIGHT?
DAMIEN
-UM…YEAH, OF COURSE, IT’S HILARIOUS
(TEXT ON BLACK: “THERE ARE TRUTHS WE CAN’T DENY”)
SETH
-YOU LISTEN TO HILARY DUFF?
-I LOVE HILARY DUFF!
DAMIEN
-NO WAY!
(THE MUSIC BECOMES MORE DRAMATIC)
SETH
-I HAVE TO GO BACK TO L.A.
DAMIEN
-ALREADY? BUT YOU JUST GOT HERE
SETH
-I'M SORRY, D
-I REALLY AM
DAMIEN
-I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YOU
SETH
-I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
(TEXT OVER SHOT OF HIM: “DAMIEN FAHEY”)
(TEXT OVER SHOT OF HIM “SETH GREEN”)
(TEXT ON BLACK: “TRL… STARTS NOW!”)

I wish I knew how to quit this blog!
I don't know what that means.
