LINK UP: If Mommy Bloggers Ran Late Night TV

October 7, 2012 By: Stephanie2 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my Email Newsletter. Thanks for visiting!

Recently I have been subjected to more late night television than normal.

Between getting this house ready to go on the market and a baby who is kind of a night owl, I’ve watched my fair share of Conan and Leno monologues, to which I say meh. 

Where are the late night shows that relate to the mommies (and daddies too) up doing 2am feedings? Do you know how many pre-dawn infomercials I had to endure during the first few months of each baby’s life? 

C’mon, network execs. We are out here in the trenches losing sleep rocking screaming babies. We need you to be funny and relatable and not trying to sell us something for just $19.99 plus the cost of shipping. Pretty soon the sleep deprivation is going to take a quick left turn and morph into the ugly cry.

If I had my way I would join forces with all of the other fabulous and funny mommies in Blogland to create a brand new kind of sketch comedy show.

I asked around and moms everywhere agree, our show would be epic. I invited some fabulously talented ladies over to help me demonstrate.

Move over, Robot Chicken, Robyn from Hollow Tree Ventures is showing you up with her fresh new perspective in her hilarious staged photo series As the Dollhouse Turns. 

 

Anna from My Life and Kids says that if asked to write for our new {imaginary} SNL-style show, “I would do a weekly skit on lies my mother told me… the rare gene that doesn’t allow our voices to work with microphones, the extra vertebrate that will paralyze us during organized dance…” You can read about those lies and more on Anna’s blog. There are some doozies.

Rebecca from Frugalista Blog.com said that she would be willing to offer her hilarious Tutorial on [how to wear] Spanx. Click over to her blog to watch the video. Oh, yes. There is a video.

And me? I think I would go with a character based on a certain little boy I know. I would call it “That’s Ridiculous, Nicholas!” It would feature a little boy embarrassing his mother in various ways by doing things like announcing in the department store that she carries cheese in her underwear. True story. (True that he said it, NOT true that I do it.)  

And we want your ideas too! Link up below if you have a blog post, video, skit, or another idea that you think would fit in with our {imaginary for now} show.

(I apologize, but I’m having some technical difficulties with my linky tool. You are more than welcome to link to your favorite posts in the comments if you are having a hard time seeing the links.)

    By a stroke of luck, I’ve written the first instalment of X Factor Mama that I think would be a good fit for late night TV.

    I can’t think of anything even remotely funny that I would share, but I want to tune in! Let me know when this goes on air and I’ll be right there cheering you ladies on! Plus, I def. need that Spanx tutorial 😉

It’s actually 80 degrees here today in Tampa (I’m not complaining!), but I’m still a mid-Atlantic girl at heart and fall means soup season. I’m sharing a crazy-easy fall soup recipe.

Easy BBQ Chicken Pizza from Crazy Crust Batter

Last night Penny told me “This is the best dinner you ever made!” That’s pretty high praise from a child who refuses to eat any kind of pasta. All of the kids who tried it had seconds or thirds. (One still wasn’t willing to try. Isn’t that always the case?) Anyway… What if I told […]
