What BBN said on air. Comedy, with fictional anchors.
Gloria VanceJean Smart officiated the wedding of Hacks star Mark Indelicato and David Watson, and she paused for laughs before pronouncing them husband and husband.
Gloria VanceWith us from a yacht is publicist Marlowe Tennison. Mr. Tennison, did you have a role in this wedding?
MT
Marlowe TennisonGloria, to be clear, I was the first call. I treated it as a live special with a ceremony inside it.
MT
Marlowe TennisonNobody calls it a wedding anymore.
Gloria VanceDid you tell Ms. Smart to pause for laughs before the words husband and husband?
MT
Marlowe TennisonTo be clear, I timed it. I stood by the cake with a stopwatch and a very quiet cough. Two seconds.
Gloria VanceShe said she was ordained by American Marriage Ministers, the online outfit, and she named it in the ceremony. Was that yours too?
MT
Marlowe TennisonTo be clear, I suggested she say the name out loud. Product placement, but tasteful.
Gloria VanceShe also announced, "You may kiss the groom!" That is a closing line.
MT
Marlowe TennisonTo be clear, I wrote the exclamation mark. Ms. Smart wanted a period. We had words. Well, one word.
Gloria VanceFine. They danced to Paul McCrane's song "Is It Okay If I Call You Mine?" Did you book that?
MT
Marlowe TennisonTo be clear, I hummed along. In my professional capacity, I'm owed a residual on the encore.
Gloria VanceSo you were a guest. And by my count you hummed along and got zero credits for it.
MT
Marlowe TennisonGloria, a guest is just a producer who hasn't been billed yet.
Gloria VanceThen who pronounced you a publicist, Mr. Tennison?
MT
Marlowe TennisonNobody, Gloria. I ordained myself. Online.
