PUDDING GUY IS A TV STAR!!!!
 

Hey Pudding Guy.....saw you on NBC's "Today" Show this morning! Great interview with Katie!

Congrats on your 15 minutes of fame http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif!

First time on TV? Very intelligent interview and so very poised. Seems like he's been on many times before!

"Did other people think you were crazy?" she asks!

Bet there was some interesting pre-show conversation in the Green room too!

For those of you on the west coast, the story will run at 8:36 am. I followed a guy that lost 200+ pounds eating nothing but Subway sandwiches. The freaky food story hour. I was hoping to make a shout out to my fellow FlyerTalkers, but Katie kept me moving along pretty quickly.

I saw Pudding Guy on TV! I've got to meet you and shake your hand!

Most spouses would say "That guy is nuts". My wife said "Why didn't you think of that!".

Enjoy your fantastic trip to Europe; you deserve it!

I set the VCR to tape it this morning, and just finished watching it. Great job Pudding Guy!

Hey Pudding Man!! Great show this am...nice to see my hero on TV!!! Good work!!! Hope one day to join you

Hey, nice work and you kept your cool.
Any good stories from behind the scenes?

I guess there isn't much hope of it being repeated. We had a power outage http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Well, I missed it. But, I'm sure you were great!

Good going, PG!! We here in the DC area only got to see the last half of the interview due to snow bulletins. I laughed at your Pudding Diet reference after watching the story of the Subway diet guy. And none of us think you're crazy. Enjoy your flights!!

YES...LOL I missed it too. I wonder if there is any shots of the interview (still photos)... Video tapes/? LOL

Yet another TV appearance.
CNN Headline News now has a good segment
on Pudding Guy with interview , Food Bank,
etc. I enjoyed it.

Hey, Pudding Guy,

Saw you on the Today Show yesterday. My in-laws, my husband and I were snowbound in Atlantic City at Harrah's. The in-laws had no idea of your fame and were very impressed. I would think Healthy Choice would be offering you a Vice Presidency just for the publicity you've gotten them.

To those who might think it was a great place to be marooned, forget it. My sister-in-law swears they changed the slot computers, loaded the dice and marked the cards so the house won everything just to make up for the fact that the place was almost empty. On top of all that half the staff couldn't get in so housekeeping didn't make up the rooms, just left voice mail saying if we wanted clean towels give a call. It was like being home. Of course, it helped that the room was a comp. At one point there was no way out of the Marina district because the roads had flooded out. So it certainly was cheering to see Pudding Guy and Katie Couric discussing the details of gathering up over a million miles on AA without leaving the ground. It meant that somewhere away from the sound of money pouring into the hotel's coffers someone was actually winning!

Brief story ran here in Phoenix on Ch.10 (FOX) late news at 10:33 p.m. on Wednesday.

Nice story, pix of food bank & also of mileage certificates... just too short!
