Mikey's debut

It's official. First there was the billboard. Then came the unlisted phone number because scary people featured in the blotter were calling the house. And last night...

"We have Mike W!gg!ns from the Da!ly Sent!nel joining us," on F0x News' 0n the Rec0rd with Greta V0n Susteren.

My husband is famous. Greta interviewed him about the
Pa!ge B!rgfeld case (the one with the missing mom/ex-wife of a crook/topless massage escort lady).

In his minutes of fame, he updated the host on a search near the Gunnison River and what the investigators are looking at now. He smiled when Greta greeted him and my aunt said it seemed like they were old friends on a first-name basis.

The funniest part of the whole experience came after the interview, when the camera dude at the PBS station that was providing the satellite feed heard something through his headphones connecting him to F0X in New York and replied, "Andrew McC@rthy," a few times.
Mike gave him a weird look. The dude explained that the folks in the F0x control room were debating who Mike looks like. In the past, he's been compared to T0pher Grace. My favorite is how a friend's dad greets him with, "Hello, guvnah," because he's also borne a resemblance to former Colorado guv Bill 0wens.

Judge for yourself, but I think Mikey definitely looks more like T0pher than anyone else.

Umm..Wow! Is Mike giving out autographs yet? Thats really exciting. Did you tape it???

I'm sad - we didn't tape it. I thought that for sure we would be able to find it online, but alas, it is nowhere.

Mikey's talking head has disappeared into the abyss.

Hey Mike Faybik,

No you don't win! That guy does NOT look like Mike. Who the heck is that, anyway?

My vote is for Topher Grace.

Thanks for playing. You get this smiley face. :)

When you wrote that Mike looks like Bill Owens, I guffawed. But then I looked at the pics provided. Yeah, he does look like ol' Bill. Good for you! Why didn't I see it before when ol' Bill was our governor and we saw him all the time? I can't recognize fame when I see it.

We don't have cable (or any TV for that matter) so sorry we missed the show.

Let us know when you make the tour. We'd like to tell our grandkids that we shook your hand...and haven't washed it since.
