Confessions of a Go-Go Dancer

Aaron from Chicago recently appeared on Live as a dancer during the Trivia A Go-Go segment. Here's what he had to say about the experience.

"My roommate and I planned a fool-proof plan to make it to the studio on time. Anyway, we were late and ended up being the last ones in line. Anyway, by chance, after everyone said we should give up hope to get in, we got in! As soon as we sat down this lady comes over and is like "Do want to go-go dance on TV?" I was like, "Um...NO!" She's like, "Fine, I'll find someone else." Here, I was thinking I would have to wear booty shorts and the huge boots, and everyone else around me was like, "Do it, you're gonna be on TV!" I was like, "Okay, M'am, I didn't really understand what you meant the first time, but I'll do whatever you want me to do." She's like, "Can you dance?" And I was like, "Hell yeah." And so that's how it happened. I've always just wanted to see the show, and then I actually got ON it."

Thanks Aaron for sharing your backstage details!

ABC Shuffles Schedule; Fails to Renew HAF

NEW YORK -- ABC is moving its hottest show, "Grey's Anatomy," to Thursdays in September as part of an aggressive schedule that will bring at least 15 new series to the air next season and leave no night unchanged since last fall.

ABC also left the newsmagazine "Primetime" off its fall schedule for the first time since its introduction in 1989. But ABC News said "Primetime" will remain in production for specials, limited-run series and perhaps as a replacement for a failed entertainment program.

ABC is the only one of the major networks to increase its ratings over last year on the strength of hits "Grey's Anatomy," "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost." But the rest of its schedule was weak, forcing the network to make an uncommonly large number of pilots.

The risk in introducing so many new shows is that viewers will be overwhelmed and some series will get lost in the shuffle. But Steve McPherson, ABC entertainment president, said the network will strategically try to introduce the new series at different times.

ABC's move of "Grey's Anatomy" from Sundays was done to help launch new series by pairing them with hits; the medical soap initially became a success because the "Desperate Housewives" audience stuck around to sample it. ABC has also done very poorly in the ratings on Thursdays, an important night for advertisers.

Switching "Grey's Anatomy" to 9 p.m. Thursdays sets up a battle with one of TV's most popular shows: "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" on CBS (a division of CBS Corp.) and NBC's most-touted new series, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip."

ABC canceled "Commander in Chief," leaving Geena Davis as a one-year president, although a two-hour movie may be made with the same cast. "Invasion," "Hope & Faith," "Jake in Progress" and "Sons and Daughters" were among the other shows left off the schedule.

One surprise returnee was the low-rated relationship drama "What About Brian." McPherson said he's received a lot of mail from fans interested in the show.
