So You Want to Make a TV Show- 2nd Period- Class #5

"Morning!" Dana greeted the class, looking almost chipper. "There's a paper on your desks. If you write your name on it with the name of the team that won the Super Bowl, you get free extra credit. Did anyone watch? Anyone win any money? Because I won money. Don't gamble, kids, it's wrong and immoral but damn it's fun when you win.

"Anyway," she said, smile fading just a little bit, and wasn't happy Dana a little terrifying? "Last week I sent you all on errands to show you a little bit of what the life of the production assistant is like. Today we're going to work on research. Again, it's high-pressure. People will be throwing names and dates at you and you have to come up with information on them like that. You're not expected to know everything. However, you are expected to be able to find it.

"In a situation like a sports show, you'd have archival footage to go through, too. Since we don't really have that here, we're just going to keep it simple. You have assignments. You have till the end of class to get me as much information on your subject as possible. You can go to the library, you can use the computer lab, anything else you probably don't have time for. You don't even need to write me up a report on the person, but I want to be able to kill a few trees with all the info you give me at the end of class. We're going to be very bad to the environment today. Skip a shower tomorrow, it will completely make up for it." She could say that because she didn't have any of them in a class tomorrow.

Hannibal, at least, had some idea who his person was. He wondered if he could get away with just handing in steroid abusing blowhard but decided to gather a little bit more information.

Adora tilted her head at the letters all jumbled together. "What's a Jaroomi...um." This was going to be complicated.

Claire's entire knowledge about Arnold Palmer was that he played golf and a drink was named after him.

Time to bother Cal at work, then. What a hardship.

Elton who? Why couldn't it be the hot figure skater? Dinah rushed to the library, hoping the computers there had heard of him even if she hadn't.

Jack had at least heard the name, but for research? There was no way he'd be able to get somewhere, find info, and return within an hour. He'd have to use alternate methods.

Jenny had no idea who that person might be. Time to hit the library. Ew.

Turtle didn't have a clue who that person was, but, well, she was now very eager to find out!
