John Lloyd Young Signs TV deal — Page 3

Honey,
I'd pack so fast I would run to the airport and send for my things. There is no one that loves NYC more than me.
But, if a major Network offered me a talk show (A DREAM since childhood) I would not even wait to pack.
Granted, I would ask to do the show in NYC. But if I had to suck it up and move to LA or Chicago I would do it.
It is a big break. It is big money. It would mean designer clothing.
I don't think you are being fair.
Everyone has different dreams. Sutton has lived hers.
If TV will make John happy I think he should go for it.
Maybe ABC can do his show in NYC.

When you are a TV star the World is your oyster. Designers practically throw gorgeous clothes at you. Imagine not having to buy Ann Taylor off the rack. I would kill for that opportunity.
Good luck to JLY. Hope all his dreams come true.
It could not happen to a more deserving guy.

Noooooo. I love NYC. My point is, if I was offered my dream on a platnium platter how could I refuse. I'd take you with me Phanty.
We would spend time in Prada and Armani. Clothes I could only dream of wearing.
But I would be flying back to NYC every chance I got to see Broadway and Off Broadway shows.
I grew up with a GOLD spoon in my mouth and when my Father died REALITY HIT HOME. There is nothing worse than having everything and losing everything. I want my old life back. It didn't suck.

I'm beginning to think that JLY has powerful friends at ABC. First he takes a temp survival job there as a transcriptionist for ABC news. Then he becomes an ABC News person of the week. Then he signs a TV deal with ABC entertainment.

TV is a risky business . Ask Nathan Lane. He is doing what is best for him & if it works fine. He may be back to Broadway in the future. If not, I wish him well. He is doing what is best for him. There is no guarantee what he would be able to do after JB so I can see why he grabbed this. It is a 1 year deal not a lifetime one.

The rest of the JB cast is talented & it is a great show & it does a disservice to the rest of the cast to make believe JLY is the only good thing about JB. I am quite sure his replacement will be just fine. Life goes on . Chill out

Of course JLY isn't the only good thing about Jersey Boys. The show had a very successful run at the LaJolla playhose before he ever came on board.

But probably because he plays the front man of the Four Seasons and does it well, he's gotten the Lion's share of the attention.

That's understandable.

But based on staments by the other Jersey Boys themselves, all four guys are getting cracks at stage, screen AND television projects they could only dream about just a few months ago.

So it's not like anyone is being ignored.

SueleenGay, you are evil. Hilarious, but EVIL. That's the best laugh I've had in a while.

IF he ends up hosting The New Newlywed Game, I am going to do everything in my power to find Corine a husband. She HAS to be a contestant on that show if he's the host.

"Corine, where would your husband say was the most unusual place you ever made whoopee?"

"In the last row of the 47th Street Theatre during the Avenue Q segment of Forbidden Broadway, John. Have you ever seen that show? It is sooooooo funny, it's better than SEX!"

---

I see it's a manic day.

---

Who is the lucky man, Corine? Do tell! Does he like Theatre? Food? Girls?

---

Jersey girl, I can't reveal my source, and perhaps I spoke out of line, but trust me, it is a very VERY reliable source.

---

My source wasn't reliable, being within earshot of some gossip at Starbucks in NYC isn't exactly trustworthy, but I still want Details, do tell!!! Is it a big secret or something? How did your source find out? Do they work in the industry?
