1) Bring a jacket. I did a TV appearance and apparently when I get nervous, I get cold and start shivering. 2) Be prepared to fly blind. You might think that in a TV studio, you'd be able to see what you look like on TV. Not so! There's generally no loopback feed because there's often a satellite (so they say) delay, which can confuse you since you'd be watching yourself from a few seconds ago. It was really disconcerting for me not knowing what I looked like, but I guess you get used to it. 3) For West Coast people: refuse to do 7 AM East Coast talk shows. It means being awake at 2 AM to talk clearly and coherently at 4 AM, and it just doesn't work. Good luck!
