Harry Arten has recently been booking me to do characters on the Mancow show. This is how it works, he always gives you the situation, like this morning mine was:

I am from the “United Citizens Against Islamic Aggression” Basically
I feel like the US Armed forces are wussies, and politically correct pussies. We should just rely on our air power, because our ground troops basically are just trying to go to college for free on the U.S.’s coin, either fight like real men or get out of the military. They’re making us look like idiots! So I am putting together a coalition of Civilians to go over to Iraq and start our own ground campaign.

Then Mancows phone girls call you at 6 in the morning and you wait on hold until Mancow is ready for you. This could be up to 3 hours, or he could talk to you right away. The entire bit can last 5 min or 2 hours, hopfully the latter that is what your job is, to get people to call in and yell at you.

Bottom line is you get $50 and if Harry likes you it could also lead to other shows like Howard Stern. (I do 2 more Mancows till I graduate to Howard)

Its kind of stupid but really fun, if you are interested in doing something like this email me at afarug@speakeasy.net and I will hook you up with a phone audition with Harry.
