Producing a movie show isn't all fun and games, but, it's a good gig, I won't lie. Some days are better than others.

I went over yesterday morning to the TODAY SHOW studios across the street to escort this week's Top Billing guest Will Ferrell over to our place.

For those of you who don't know, REEL TALK's home base is 30 Rock in Midtown Manhattan. Most people are familiar with Rockefeller Center because of the Christmas Tree lighting, also SNL tapes here as does NBC Nightly News and the hilarious "30 Rock" is obviously based here (but not shot here).

We're also across the street from THE TODAY SHOW studio and plaza, where there's always a big crowd of people who get up at an ungodly hour to hold up signs behind the talent and say 'Hi Mom!'

Anyway, inside their downstairs green room, I greeted New Line publicist Nicole Kalish and Will's personal publicist Matt Labov, who's the Grand Poobah of publicity for Hollywood's comedy stars.

Then I stopped and surveyed the scene.

"Semi-Pro" co-star Woody Harrelson was walking around barefoot in a Flint Tropics warm-up suit, getting ready for a 2-on-2 pickup game on the plaza against Meredith Vieira and Knicks guard Nate Richardson.
Two feet away, Gary Coleman (yes, THAT Gary Coleman) was putting shmear on a bagel and talking with Pat Harrington ('Schneider' from the old sitcom "One Day At A Time"). Check out a segment from the pickup game.

Bonnie Franklin, the star of 'One Day', was putting her coat on to leave since their TV reunion segment was over. Meanwhile Valerie Bertinelli was rushing back to the studio to talk about her new book (she looks GREAT after the weight loss, BTW). Oh, and Mackenzie Phillips was chowing down on a donut, a bagel and what looked like a turkey wrap. There were also a couple of gorgeous twin girls who were doing something on the show, and legendary sportscaster Bob Costas. I felt like I was stuck in a Nick at Nite fantasy sequence!

Like I said, some days are better than others here at RT. Yesterday was one of the better ones.
