Thursday, April 22nd
5:32 PM
Life of Dad creator and star Tom Riles took the stage with his daughter Barbara Anne. Babs slept through the entire conference.
5:33 PM
Riles made his opening statements. Network executives in the audience were drooling upon every word. Everybody wants an exclusive holding deal with this new show/blog.
5:34 PM
Riles introduced the cast of Life of Dad including Barbara Anne and BoJangles. Riles’ wife Lucy was unavailable at the moment, due to a prior commitment at Bally’s. Bo reached up just high enough to be caught on camera, while enjoying his treat. As part of his bucket list ( http://facebook.com/bojanglesbucketlist ), this was his first appearance on television.
5:36 PM
The floor was opened up for questions. Due to the viewers needing to read/watch something else on the internet, only three of the questions were aired. Below are the rest of them.
Question: The baby is asleep, what is she dreaming of?
Riles: Plums. Not Sugar Plums. Just plums. Ripened plums.
Question: Where will the show be aired?
Riles: On the web. Go to https://www.lifeofdad.com for all of the episodes and blog entries.
Question: Why did you decide to do this show?
Riles: Well, I got an offer to play on the Jets, but I feel more at home here. Playing on Life of Dad already feels like family.
Question: Have you been getting sleep?
Riles: I’ve been getting too much sleep, so I needed a new hobby. I just bought a metal detector, and will be combing the beaches for valuables nights, from 10-midnight now. It relaxes me.
Question: Do you think Brett Favre will play this season?
Riles: I’m not a liberty to say what I know, but I will say if he is looking for a new team, we would love to bring him on as the clip coordinator for Life of Dad.
5:55PM
The press conference concluded, and Riles, Barbara Anne and BoJangles had a photo op, with their new Life of Dad jersey.
