TLC seeks blunderers for new show

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on November 4th, 2005

We got yet another email from a television producer, this time from Melissa Mayne, from Tiger Aspect Productions in London:

My name is Melissa and I work on a brand new show for the TLC Channel called “Ultimate Blunders.” The show features everyday blunders and mistakes. I read with interest your website whilst I was doing some research on the Internet and I thought you may be interested in talking to us.

We’re looking for people who’ve had a funny, embarrassing, or unusual blunders and true life funny stories at home at work or in public.

Maybe you’ve mistaken you’re friends mom for his sister and tried to kiss her? Fallen into the toilet in your new in-laws bathroom and got stuck there…..? Jumped out of the hotel room closet to surprise a complete stranger? Forgotten the rising tide and seen your dad’s car floating out to sea? Forgotten the name of your child at parents evening or gone out of the house with your skirt tucked in your knickers.

Maybe you’d like to nominate a friends outrageously embarrassing blunder, perhaps you’re a serial blunderer or you’ve committed the blunder to end all blunders.

Hit the website or call the Ultimate Blunders Hotline at (240)223-3450.

Strangely enough, we couldn’t recall making any blunders! Of course, one or two will eventually occur to us. We suspect that we’ve blundered here and there, but that our natural defense mechanism has enabled us to weather the initial embarassment and subsequently erase the incident from our memories. Perhaps that’s one of the characteristics that enables us to be comics– without it would we ever be able to mount the stage after that initial bomb? After all, is not dying in front of a roomful of people always named as the number one fear? (Talk about your blunders!) Comics have different criteria, maybe. Hmmm… We shall see.
