When I was dating a co worker of mine at the TV morning show I used to work at, he was randomly selected to actually be on the show. All it was going to be was a simple question that the host was going to ask him, he would answer, and that was that. Once producers told him about this mini segment, he flipped out. He had terrible stage fright and didn't want to be involved on camera in any way. He was a camera guy and that's where he wanted to stay. Coincidentally, all of this was happening right around April Fools day. So that night we went out to dinner, and it was there that I tried to talk him into doing the mini segment. He refused. And so, on a whim, I told him that the segment was actually more involved than just a question, and producers had lied and actually wanted him to do an entire segment and even participate in an audience Q&A; entitled "Ask Eddie." He completely flipped out in the restaurant. After I let him sweat a little, I broke the news that it was all a joke and I was just busting his chops. Yep, he hates me.
