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
