THE LATEST: July 2010
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer and are enjoying the
outdoors as much as possible!! I love the heat- Lots has been going on, so here on some updates: -I have become a regular on two show’s on the Fox Business Network-“Bulls & Bears” and “Cavuto”. They seem to enjoy my comedic take on current events, specifically the economy. God definitely has a sense of humor, I spent years trying to leave the Capital Markets only to talk about it now on TV. I am on a couple times a week which has been great fun, the people there are so wonderful, please check it out when you get a chance. -I love radio so I am making that desire somewhat of a reality with my good friend Jim Mendrinos. We started a weekly internet radio show back in February called “Right Now with Jim Mendrinos & Ellen Karis” on From the Right Radio, you can listen to it live streaming at: www.frtradio.com. We talk about politics, pop culture, current events and anything else that comes up in our conversation flow. We have gotten quite a following, although I think I have a too much of an admirer in Montana if you know what I mean. We are on every Thursday from 7:00pm-8:00pmEST which is then replayed on Friday from 8:00am-9:00amEST. -I continue to be on Fox News web show “The Strategy Room”, as a recurring panelist. We discuss current events and read emails from viewers throughout the show and respond. I have met seen and met some amazing people but I am not going to lie, Rick Springfield was my favorite! -The first half of 2010 was filled with lots of Greek Shows to travel to Cleveland, Oakland, Upper Darby, Chicago as well as the NYC area. I am so grateful for the following and get enormous satisfaction when I hear “that was so funny what you said about getting married…” .Thank you fellow Hellenians’, I am glad we can all relate. -I periodically write for a great website called Big Hollywood. If you care to check out some of my opinions on pop culture please go to: bighollywood.breitbart.com/author/ekaris -As I delve into the political humor world, you never know how someone will react until you are in the middle of a joke and see their face however, as a comic you expect this and deal with it or you should begin to ponder about getting a job as a Curator at an Art Museum. On May 6th, I was the Comedic entertainment at the Staten Island Lincoln Day Dinner and lets just say one of my jokes hit home for a particular former politician, who I really do wish the best because I liked his politics. In full disclaimer, I had gotten clearance on the joke because I would never intentionally diss anyone, that’s not my thing, so here you go, it even made the New York Post: click here to view -In March I flew to LA to become part of a pilot called “Right to Laugh” which will air on a new network called “Right Network”. It will be part of one of Comcast’s on demand channels. Information can be found at: rightnetwork.com. I will keep you posted as to the air date. -On September 11, 2010 I will be Emceeing a wonderful 5K walk fundraising event for Ovarian Cancer called T.E.A.L-Tell Every Amazing Woman. They are looking for volunteers and sponsors as well as participants, to get more information go to: www.tealwalk.org/home So in between oil spills, budget deficits and reality shows about people from New Jersey, enjoy the summer and eat that hot dog, go to that ballgame and get some sun—it goes by fast! XOXO Ellen
Enjoy,
