A Double-Shot from the TRL Graveyard
Pink dropped by on Wednesday to talk about her new CD. I pitched the following cold open:

(PINK IS STANDING IN THE OFFICE HALLWAY. DAMIEN PULLS UP TO HER RIDING A BIG-WHEEL BICYCLE)

DAMIEN

-HEY PINK
-I HEAR YOU'RE INTO GUYS ON BIKES

PINK
-SORRY DAMIEN
-BUT I'M ALREADY MARRIED

DAMIEN
-PFFT, WHATEVER
-YOUR LOSS

(HE STARTS PEDALING, TURNS THE CORNER AND RIDES OFF)

PINK

-TRL STARTS NOW


Unfortunately that one fell through. But when Pink arrived, she had her husband, motocross legend Carey Hart, with her. So I quickly revised it to this:

(PINK IS STANDING IN THE OFFICE HALLWAY. CAREY PULLS UP TO HER RIDING A BIG-WHEEL BICYCLE)

CAREY

-HEY BABE
-HOW YOU LIKE MY NEW RIDE?

PINK
-WOW CAREY, THAT'S HOT

CAREY
-YEAH, IT'S PRETTY BAD-ASS
-I'M GONNA CRUISE AROUND FOR A BIT
-PICK YOU UP AFTER THE SHOW

PINK
-LOVE YA

(SHE BENDS DOWN AND GIVES HIM A KISS, AND TURNS THE CORNER AND RIDES OFF)

PINK

-TRL STARTS NOW


Pink liked it, but Carey didn't want to appear on camera, so no go on that one either.
At least she made up for the disappointment during her interview by using the phrase "dutch oven" and admitting that she doesn't know the square root of 144.
