ride the rollercoaster
the life of this business
is such a roller-coaster.
ups and downs, swerves that are unexpected
all thrilling.
i'm on the hunt for more money
bank account is nearly tapped
show streaming ahead
in all markets
looks great, ratings are awesome.
i owe some dollars
that needed to be paid
yesterday.
world on my shoulders
incredibly exciting
as i sit in my office on broadway.
the reality i've created myself
unfathomable.
exciting.
meeting AIRTRAN in chicago tomorrow
i look forward to closing our deal
they are awesome
and our partnership will be so much fun
and CROCS on Thursday
i have a nasty obsession with those shoes
i wear them in the snow.
and so it goes
post production is frustrated
lack of funds
oye.
on a brighter note,
i feel incredibly empowered
acceptance of reality
and trust that it will all work out
everyone is working 150% to make it happen
energy is positive and progressive.
in LA next week
i'm meeting with all of the network heads
they are discussing with me THE EDGE
to air on their networks
and on broadband...
i love southern California.
i've been asked to do a film with hillary swank in toronto
it's called "amelia" due out in 2009.
i'll go to canada this summer to film it.
TOTALLY AWESOME
i'll write a book about this someday
how one day i was down 100,000 bucks
and the next day up over a half a million.
all at age 22.
ride the roller coaster
thrilling beyond belief!!
this is what living the dream
is all about.
have a question to be answered on THE EDGE?

the excitement continunes...
yesterday i did a show on sirius radio
judith regan
a former publishing powerhouse
worked with rupert murdoch at fox.
read press on her before
it said she was bitchy, moody, short
i couldn't find her more fun.
i walked into the studio
expecting a 10 minute interview
she asked me to co-host the two hour show with her
i gladly accepted
on a rainy afternoon in NYC.
toures from BET was a guest
and the head of the ONE campaign
and so on.
it was great.
judith is crazy
slightly out of her mind
and so much fun.
i can see having my own radio show.
yeah.
ratings in weeks 1 and 2
are strong.
.8 on average
which translates into 240,000 households
watching THE EDGE each week.
exciting.
was editing show 5 yesterday
nude modeling and my interview with a whore from cathouse
are in one show
it is a compelling show
i forgot it was me hosting it
very real
very raw.
good stuff.
next week chicago and denver and LA and san fran
it will be busy
it's all flowing
nationally.
what would it be like to convince a major airliner in america
to give me a boeing 737 plane
charter it
with a band on board?
hmmmmmmmm

today is the day
THE EDGE WITH JAKE SASSEVILLE launches
39 markets
32 states
40+ million households
ABC News interview this afternoon
Fox this evening
Ellen DeGeners and Jay Leno are calling
life suddenly veers off, moving forward
in a direction i've always imagined
always believed would happen
just never thought it would be so unbelieveable
to live.
my friend joe
in ireland
sent me a big hoo haaa thing today
to celebrate the launch of THE EDGE.
the entire state of maine
will be the first to see the show
at 830pm tonight
special debut time.
to remember the days on local access
where i would produce one show in 12 hours
in a studio the size of a jail cell
oh those were the days.
my station manager, adolph holmes
used to get so annoyed at me re-arranging the studio
pushing the boundaries, even at age 15
of what was possible in television.
bob nixon, my good friend and magician mentor
would come down to fill time
being wonderful as he always was.
kate kennedy, zoe zanidackis, dennis kucinich, ed morris
my friends and family
all on the first episodes of THE EDGE.
and now, seven years later
a childhood dream tucked in my back pocket
and fearless determination in the other
THE EDGE makes its debut.
2day at ABC
charles gibson
elizabeth vargas
doing promos for 20/20
in the studio next to me
i thought i would originally be in broadcast journalism
now, though, i'm next to those who i idolized as a child.
peace out all

we're not in kansas anymore.
tonight i got a call
6pm
my publicist, susan blond,
friends with andy warhol
old-school New York
awesome, connected
said she needed a date to this event
a One Time Warner Center.
could i pick her up in a half hour
she asked.
i just met her this morning.
of course i said
and off i want.
an event that was celebrating 70s comedians
billy crystal
robin williams
the list goes on and on
tv writers there from coast to coast
and off susan blond goes
pitching the JAKE brand.
before i know it, i'm being interviewed by daily news
and NY Times, Time Magazine, the AP and others
are all considering stories.
and then, without realizing
jerry seinfeld is standing next to me.
surreal in every way
for this maine kid.
i went in a sweat shirt
and a black shirt
that i had worn yesterday
converse shoes
so not ready for this black tie event
yet i fit in very well.
the week of the show's launch
this morning, the New York Magazine article is published
i realized
no more reading press that comes out
too much.
why... you might ask?
NEW YORK MAGAZINE - 2/11/2008 - Clancy Nolan
In January, Jake scores a short interview with Wyclef Jean at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square. I ask Jake if he's a fan. "Not until we booked him." Two index cards filled with Wyclef facts are tucked in his pockets, but he has no questions. "I think I'm just going to let it flow," Jake says, as he grabs a diet Red Bull. The Edge gets eight minutes of Wyclef's time, and Jake spends it mainly on small talk. He asks what it was like to work with Shakira and awkwardly tries out some slang he learned from Cipha Sounds.
yes
8 minutes on small talk
and by small talk she means
talking about the politics of haiti
and living a dream
and inspiring a generation.
clearly not a part of the article
too real for NY magazine?
time will tell
be balanced
i say...
i am grateful it was printed
and continue to be grateful to wyclef
for being so awesome.
and so it goes folks
i'm getting a taste of what this is like
living it
loving it all
CHEERS
