"Writer/Comedian/Animal Activist!"

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on June 10th, 2004

From a Business Wire press release:

Pax TV has named high profile comedian Elayne Boosler as host of the network’s new game show, “Balderdash,” based on Mattel’s hilarious bluffing board game. Produced by The Hatchery, LLC and run by the production team behind the successful series “Hollywood Squares,” the half-hour original series is set to premiere later this summer, airing Monday through Thursday.

It goes on to describe the game show, but, we all know that it’s nearly impossible to describe a game show without making it sound ludicrous. And, this is the best part: they actually describe Boosler as a “writer/comedian/animal activist.” Traci’s demanding that her bio be amended immediately. From now on, she wants to be described as a “writer/comedian/stuffed animal activist.” Says Skene: “Everywhere I go there’s Beanie Babies for sale and nobody wants them. Somebody’s gotta look out for them!”
