No comments yet? What happened? Everyone dropped dead?

I was thinking the same thing.

I wish we have TechTV at home so I can catch the shows.

Awesome. Glad you had a good time. I pack earplugs for just such an occasion in a hotel room. It sucks not getting enough sleep.

Wish my cable co carried TechTV! I have to wait till I go back to work and catch it on the satellite. Maybe they will re-run your episode this weekend.

I think it is so cool how the drab nuts-and-bots of doing the show are just second nature to you, Wil.

Just casually running through the stuff... yeah, the telepromter, ho-hum, the names of different parts of the set, la la la, production meeting, yeah yeah.

Man, all that crud sounds like So Much Fun(tm). Heck if I ever would think about the idea that it might be important to know tha names of different parts of the set. You the Pro, Wil.

I wish I had cable so I could have seen it.

First of all, I'm number 4, that is very cool. SIt sounds like you had a fairly decent day in the Bay area, even if the weather, the heater and the flight sucked. But you did great on the show even with the blue hair. So have a great day, and start looking forward to the next big storm. Now you know what we put up with in Seattle.

okay i was number 5, i type to slow

Darn it! The one show that I miss is the one you host. This bites. Not enough VCRs in my house and my computer dies every time I install my video card's DVR software. The whole world is against us, Silent Bob, I swear to god.

Aww, I can't believe that Wil was in the same building I work in and I wasn't even there. So much for my big brush with *greatness*!

Did not see the show, I'm sure you were great. this was a nice post. Hope you come back to SF soon!

I love the picture you paint of San Francisco... Sounds like a wonderful trip... thanks for sharing it!

I love the cold, windy, cloud-covered Bay area too. and when the fog rolls down over the hills on the Peninsula -- wow!

great description of SF, Wil. thanks!

"I really like them, they really like me, maybe we'll work together someday."

Yes yes that would be good.

wow...colour me shocked....
here i was, wondering what the hell this tech tv thing is, figuring it must be some cool ass thing that they only get in the states...
and low and behold, on my drive in to work today, they mention it on the radio....

of course, i don't have it on my cable ......

but still....atleast i know now that it's theoretically possible to see it here in toronto...

anyhow, great post wil, and congrats on what sounded like a fun time in san-fran.....

my brother in law Justin was just there and said it was a fantastic city...

mmmmmm...jealous.......

i'll see it one day..

You did an excellent job on the show! You seemed very comfortable up there. If you worked there as a host I would watch The Screensavers all the time. Wait, I already watch it all the time. Well, my wife would watch it all the time then since she thinks you are "dreamy" also.

I envy you and Anne. I've always wanted to go on a freaky, turbulence-ridden flight.

Great job Wil!!!
And hey, the shirt isn't that bad!

I'm a huge fan of yours and of TechTV, Wil, and you did an awesome job last night. Looked like you belonged there.

Greetings....
Just wanted to write a quick note to apologize…. I never liked the character you played on Star Trek, but after watching you on the Screen Savers I realized you're a pretty cool, fun, educated type of guy. You handled live TV really well. Maybe you could do a few more shows with Tech TV! I’ll watch! Anyway I am sorry, and I wish you well.

The show was awesome. The hair looked great... and you and Pat sounded like you were having a good time. I think a LOT of people think your "dreamy" (with 4 letters ;) )

Hope you get to host it again it looked like it was fun.

Ive been watching the screen savers for a long time and I thought that this episode was the best Ive seen. I didnt know you had a website until your little plug. Great job on the show and I hope to see you on again in some shape or form. Id love to see you and martin seargent do a show together!!

grrr. .. i need to call my cable company and see if there is a chance they can have TechTV on. . . .

Hay will,

I had tickets to the show but was not able to attend, any chance you will be out for another show in the near future??

Can you give us MONKEYS some more notice next time, i had to pull a lot of strings to get those tickets and since i couldn't go i probobly will not be able to pull those strings again...

More info would relly make my life eay...

Thamx..

I thought you did a great job! Hope to see you on again soon. Mabe you can slide yourself in to being a regular, or mabe even a host. It's great having someone young on the show (MArty is just wierd.. funny.. but weird..) I watch SS pretty much every day, and catch up on the weekends, would love for you to be on as a host. ( I know.. said that already.. i ramble..)

Congrats on teh great show.

/tcw

Bummer! I wish I would've known about your trip sooner. FAT is only a couple of blocks from Union Square just South of Market. I would've loved to have given you cats a tour and loaded you up with promos.
I didn't get to see the show either. reruns?
Right on, Wil.
DannyB.

I thought Wil was great on the show. Very relaxed. There were some points where they didn't click together as hosts, but for a first time out the interaction was great.

I loved Wil's comment about Nethack on a 15 inch screen. Really showed me how long he has been in the geek game.

Born and raised in Chicago, but spent two years living in the Bay Area in the early 1990's. If I ever make enough money, that is the city I would live in the rest of my life. I still love Chicago, but I give it all up for a chance to live there again.

EM

Anne has a cold because she runs around in the rain. Tell her to stop, and her cold will go away.

Went over to a friend's house just to watch the show last night. Quite entertaining! Thanks for giving us the heads-up that you'd be on, so those of us without cable or satellite could make arrangements to mooch off our friends...

The Shirt went well with the blue hair, by the way. Congratulations on a job well done!

Just got back from the TechTV website, and there are 2 things I noticed:

Gary Coleman will be guest hosting soon.

Morgan Webb, too !@#$^&ing hot for words, has an article about throbbers.

FWIW.

I see TechTV every day. I seen all NGR about 2 times each. I loved that show. I did not know that Gene Roddenbery was no more for a long time. But I did see that the NGR was not that good any more. It was about when Gene Roddenbery was no more that the NGR was geting not so good. I liked the Movie that was just out or is out. I like to get that on DVD when it comes out. Sounds like most did not like it.

Any way that's the only place I seen Wil. Seems like you were on TechTV before too. What I thought about you on the show was that you did it so very good. I thought you know how because you did NGR show. I wanted to see your web page and I did. Very good talking about Tech TV the day you went there. Thank you!

-Raymond Day

They should invite you to host the show more often.

You know that Photoshoppers will have plenty of matterial to work from because of that show. :)

I was in San Francisco a few years ago for a conference, and I stayed just off of Union Square. It was the weekend just before Thanksgiving, and they were putting up that giant tree. Every day, I'd walk past it and see a little bit more decoration, and it reminded me of the first few lines of "Silver Bells." (;

I was quite skeptical of a celebrity host but you did a very good job. There's a thread over on Leoville about it you might want to check out: http://leovilletownsquare.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=TechTV&Number=252946&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=all

And I'm supposed to ask you if you were intimidated by Pat's "Calves of steel"?

I admit, I thought the show would be lame because they were going to have an "outsider" co-hosting, I was proven wrong.

Great job! Hope to see you back on sometime

Great job on the tube Wil

"The rain beats down on the window-mounted air conditioner, its steady plink-plink-plinking competing with the sputtering and hissing of the radiator"

I think I stayed in that hotel. Considering how cold it was in July, I feel for you.

But yay for the show going well.

Wil,

Dude, you rock! Leo's in BIIG trouble, even if he's more 'technically-minded'... besides, you've better taste in shirts. :) I watch Screen Savers off and on, and this has got to be the best show yet... NetHack, WWDN, AND userfriendly.org all in the SAME SHOW! (did someone scam my "bored at work" bookmarks from my browser, or what?)

And I'll have you guys know I skipped "Monster Garage" to see this one.. glad I did, too. :D

Question: what did you think of having the Mac OS X machine on your side of the podium? Or did you even care? (pphpt!)

(yes, Morgan is a hottie. Keep your hormones in check, Wil, you're married.)

Glad to hear the flight home was peaceful, apologies for the lousy weather, and hope Anne gets over her cold soon (chicken matzo soup. I'm serious, that stuff has magical cold-curative abilities...)

Deacon

Wil, you were awesome. I'm totally going to read Hyperspace, it sounds like a book I've been looking for.

Your hair looked awesome. What did you use to dye it? It was very grown up blue hair, which is what I'm looking for.

Thanks, Wil

Ben

Great show Wil! I never knew you were so funny.

"Sell my old clothes, I'm off to heaven"

Hmm.

Wonder how much The Shirt(tm) would go for on eBay?

heheh

*sniff*

I really love, love, love San Francisco as well and then I got to the part about Loren and Kelly and I really love them as well. I haven't seen them in .. *counts* two years I guess. WAH! I want to see them! ;)

Hi Wil;
I would like to apologize for the lewd and belligerent behavior of my miscreant friends and band-mates. We will heretofore reserve our enmities for the bastards at the corporate helm... please accept our best wishes and do not hold our little rock and roll outfit accountable for this brash outburst of pugilistic fulminations... Perhaps we can send you a copy of our new album in a gesture of truce...?
We'll understand if you are not interested...
The band is JIM...
Thank you for your time...

Just found your site yesterday. Interesting stuff. Liked your character in ST: TNG, but don't remember much about Stand by Me -- will have to watch again.

Bummed that I missed the show yesterday -- have always wondered what Screen Savers is like and have never seen you outside of TNG. If yesterday's Screen Savers ever reruns, I hope to hear about it.

Wil,
I'm glad you had a good time in the city by the bay. You can never meet or work with to many good people.

FG

Great Show! Just saw it this morning at 5am (rerun). Careful what you write because Anne might be reading it too, so yeah Morgen is hot!

Damn. You were *on* last night. I don't mean "hey you were on TV" either. I was laughing for most of that show. Maybe they should dump Leo and use you permenantly.

Glad you had a good trip! Sounds nice! Except for the plane LMAO

I recorded the show on my TiVo but haven't watched it yet. Looking forward to it............

I enjoyed the show last night. Felt you did very well. Don't know if it was you or the topics for the day but it was somehow more engaging than usual. On the Wayne's World to Nightline spectrum, it leaned more towards the Nightline side last night (my own opinion). It's probably you (ibid).

So, congrats on a good show.

Great job on the show Wil! I've been watching TechTV since it was called ZDTV, before Paul Allen took over. I've watched most of the episodes of TSS and think that yours is a classic that will stay on my Tivo for a long time. Loved the show! Come back and do another!

Wil,
I haven't read any of the comments yet, but I will go back and read them.... I just wanted to say YOU ROCKED last night on TSS, and this is from someone who, sadly to say, wasn't looking forward to it.... I mean, I'm sorry, but.... well, I miss Leo.... and who are you? :::::::WELL HERE IS ME EATING MY OWN WORDS BECAUSE I AM AN IDIOT:::::::CHOMP::::CHOMP::::CHOMP::::

I want you to be on the show now all the time! I am writing to TPTB at TTV and telling them, too, since they are forever putting LAME CELEBRITIES on the show talking about how technology is stupid (sorry, I don't mean to offend you or anything by speaking about celebrities like that) BUT YOU ARE A GEEK and a CELEBRITY, you need to be on TV EVERYDAY on The Screen Savers.

WOW! Can you imagine how great it would be to have you on the show modding a computer with Yoshi? Or over-clocking an Athalon with Patrick? Or having you interview Woz????? IT WOULD BE AWESOME BECAUSE YOU "GET IT!"

Sorry I didn't put my real email in here, I don't want spam, but I hang out in Leoville a lot, so come over and hang out with us over there.

Nice job, Wil. I thought you were very relaxed and came across as a natural. But I wanted to whack you at one point and say, "Stop leaning on that damn table!" I've only seen SS a couple of times but I think you were a much better host than those other two. Loved the shirt!!

Wil -

You really were a terrific host. I knew you were a professional, but our show can get bizarre sometimes and I've never seen anyone fit in so well.

It was an an honor and a whole lot of fun to work with you. I'm sure Loren and Kelly would agree that you and Anne should move to San Francisco immediately and come work on The Screen Savers full time.

Megan

Ok first of all....

Wil, you were on the weakest link last night on the mighty institution that is the BBC, or Beeb to her friends.

Much comedy and the shirt had Laydeez on it. Ok so i'm late in seeing this but, ya know, who cares...

Secondly, take my advice.

Don't use an auto-cue.

I found mine too cumbersome so now the conversations with my friends are ad-libbed.

Whilst many have warmed to this new improv style, some prefered the rigid scripted of our previous conversations and as such, missed many comedy moments.

I personally am glad i dont have to plan the following days conversations the night before.

I tink oi need to lie downer...

Great job on TSS.

Wil, Wil, Wil !

Man... I wish I had "real" cable instead of cheap "I pay ten bucks a month for better reception" cable. Does anyone have any screen captures of The Shirt complemented by The Blue Hair?

I'm a recent WWDN convert/junkie, but this is a cool thing you've got here. And, totally off-topic, but... wow. Wil likes the Pixies. That does my heart good.

Glad you had fun in my city Wil!
Come back again!

"...we're ready to go home and sleep in our own beds." Gee, separate beds?

You did a great job on the show. What I'd like to see is you and Chris Pirillo co-host. I bet the two of you would have great chemistry.

Cheers.

I grew up in the Bay Area, and loved your comments about SF. Keep it up, and maybe the Chronicle will give you Herb Caen's old job.

Wil, you SO MUCH surpassed the performance of all the guest hosts of TSS that I have seen since I got satellite about a year and a half ago - several orders of magnitude that is - "Billions and billions." I had no idea that you were so 'hip-literate.' I especially liked your plugs for Linux. TSS bad mouths MS-OSs all the time but continues to offer tips and fixes for 'Outlook', 'Access' and 'Internet Exploiter.' It's like telling everybody to cover their screen with duct tape to keep the cold out rather than just close the door. Just think how much better off we would all be if Linux got the air time MS gets and MS got what Linux gets.
I think you have found your calling if you want it. Tech TV, TSS and West Wing are about the only programs I watch regularly. Leo has made it known that he is leaving TSS when his current contract is up. I have always felt Leo would be a tough act to follow for any of the current staff. Although they are all very talented, intelligent and make excellent co-hosts, it really takes a special talent to anchor a program such as TSS. I always felt that TSS would fail to hold my interest for long after Leo left. I think you are one of those rare personalities that could fill those Flaming Shoes. Please consider it.

We love ya'- even in 'All most heaven' WV

Dave Cowan

I caught the show last night and thought that you were great! In fact I made sure to catch it when I saw that you were going to be hosting. Seems like TechTV and you were made to be together, It was like you had been hosting TSS for years.

Well done!

{K}

Crap! I missed the show, completely forgetting about it when my wife was the "lucky winner" of a trip to the emergency room Tuesday evening. It turns out she has tendenitis in her foot, but the nurse she spoke to on the phone thought it might be a blood clot. We, naturally, were worried. Thankfully, Laura's fine (if a little numb) and things are cool. Is this epsiode of Screen Savers going to be repeated in the near future?

wil: it's been bugging me since i saw the "BLUE HAIR" picture you posted here...and then your hair had a blue sheen to it on "THE SCREEN SAVERS"...is you hair really blue?...or is this just an optical illusion?

Damnit, I *live* in SF and don't get TechTV....

Next time you're in Union Square, have dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. And wait for a seat on the patio - the view is worth freezing your ass off. (It was obscenely windy the night the b/f and I had dinner there, even with the plexiglas buffers they have up around the patio, but it was still amazing.)

Great job Wil! I was working in the control room at the switcher and didn't really have a chance to meet you. Everyone here agrees that you did a fantastic job and fit right in. We want you back ASAP. From the technical side, you walked right in and nailed it. Sorry to hear about the prompter problems but it didn't show at all. You seriously had me rolling when we came back from the Patti LaBelle package and you exposed Kevin for drawing on his face. We were all set to shoot around it so Kev could save a little face (pun intended) and what's the first thing that comes out of your mouth? Classic. Hope you make it back up here soon!

Wil,
I did live TV when I was about 7 years old. This person got sick and then I had to stand in for them. They put this school play on live TV and I lucked out because,tech speaking, I had no idea what I was doing. It went great and everyone in my life loved it. I would not wish this on my worse enemy. It is hard work. Taped or filmed stuff, to me , seem to be a sane cup of tea. When it does work live, though, very few feelings can top it. Keep up the good work dare devil. I hear you pulled off a nice stunt.

FG

Wil,
You Big Pimp, you rocked on TSS last night. It's a shame you weren't on tonight to save Marty from that annoying little man that is Gary Coleman. There were a few times tonight when I wanted Marty to kick him in the head. Even he said, "Why couldn't I get Wil Wheaton!?" So there you have it...
Seriously though, you impressed me last night. You really are an uber-geek. I bow to your superior knowledge. Please try to get back on TSS again...obviously Megan wants you back on (see her comment up there!) and so do all of us fans.
Keep bein that Big Geek Pimp you are...

i am excited that you used a saves the day song as your title. thats fantastic!

thanks for doing the screensavers! you really did a brilliant job... here's to you getting a full-time gig on that show!

cheers!

eric

My band does a "post-mortem" every time we play out. Definitely necessary. Goes good with a Steinlager.

I would comment on the show, but i have no TV to watch in on - haha! So, glad it went well for you.

"The heavy black clouds we've just flown through decide to get in one last assault, and dump a hard, cold downpour on us as we walk through the parking lot to the car."

-----

I've really enjoyed reading through your blog (someone on Trekbbs mentioned it a week ago and I popped over to have a look and was hooked; I love blogs. :D) but that above paragraph was just exquisitely written, imo. It's a great description and quite funny.

Wil,

Unfortunately, I was unable to see TSS as my cable company doesn't seem to carry TechTV. I believe it is a planned edition in the near future so with any luck, I'll be able to catch a rerun. In spite of that fact, judging by comments from folks who did see the show, I'd say that you did quite a job and have had yet another success story to add to your resume. Congrats!

It would be wonderful, in this world of tasteless talkshows and overweight blabbermouth hosts and hostess, to see someone like yourself host your own television show, perhaps a talk show, but unlike Jerry Springer, you could spend your time discussing things such as technology, politics, and possibly some creative and thought-provoking editorials? Also, maybe interviews with other people you have worked with over the years (excluding a certain exec producer of a certain Sc-Fi producton) and others could be interesting highlights...

Normally, when talk shows come on I quickly change the channel. I would, however, definately watch your show, and religiously at that! :)

It's ironic that at this very moment I am watching "Stand By Me" on tape and at this very moment, you are face to face with a deer. When I imagine you sitting in front of your computer, writing the eloquent bits that you do, I see you not as you are now, with a Fark T-shirt and blue hair, but rather as that young boy, venturing into a world so much bigger than your little corner, yet holding on to a certain innocence that is so rarely found anywhere else.

Damn, you take a few days off...

Missed Screen Savers--hope I can catch a rerun! Way impressed re: Michio Kaku; I saw him on Tech TV's "Big Thinkers" series and he had absolutely the best line ever about life, the universe and everything (with apologies to ripping off Douglas Adams...):

We now believe the mind of God is music resonating through ten-dimensional hyperspace.

Works for me...

Glad to see you weren't a complete no-show in "Nemesis", but like everyone else, I'm already dying to see the DVD edition with the extra 50 minutes (including the Head Monkey) restored.

Love the hair, the lawn, the dog and the shoes, hoping all's well with you and yours, wishing you Happy Festivus and Happy Chanukah and Happy Diwali and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and happy everything else that I left out!

Take care, Wil.

Syd

Whoh...this WWW is like a maze. It(google) took me to May 7, 2002 after you got home and after seeing a girl breakdown on her car cell phone...anyway, water under the bridge, I read about your difficulties about crying for parts and how a stranger could suddenly turn on your waterworks. Ironic? I dont know. But if a person(anyone here) cant feel for his fellow human being then maybe youve never really left the Enterprise, know what I mean?:D
Congrats on your new ventures. Good Luck. Happy holidays, may the new year get you that big Moby Dick part.(I love metaphors, DONT YOU?):)

Hey Wil,

did you know that Morgan Webb would like to be... a monkey?
( http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/aboutus/story/0,24330,3347484,00.html )

I saw most of the show and it was just.. great. You were pretty hilarious. And you did seem to fit right in there.

san francisco WAS a wonderful city. not anymore.

unless a massive and entrenched beliggerent homeless population, huge unemployment across the board, a rediculous cost of living, daily traffic snarls that would send crowley into paroxysms of delight, and one of the most overcrowded cities in america is wonderful.

i miss the old san francisco. my heart hurts everytime i come back to see it being eaten from the inside out with cancerous yuppies.

Well, from someone who has lived in SF off and off since 1995, this city is ALWAYS changing. Many of the "cancerous yuppies" have left anyway, after the crash, and many of the ones who remain have a changed perspective. You forget the brilliant food, the coffee shop on every corner, the amazing parks, the "live-and-let-live" attitude. A friend of mine who just moved here from NYC says that in NY, everyone secretly wishes they were rich, and in SF, it seems like everyone secretly wishes they were an artist.

Sure SF has its problems and downside, but what city doesn't? To deal with the homeless, I volunteer at a soup kitchen, to deal with the traffic, I drive a vintage Vespa.

I'm thrilled Wil had a great time here --but sorry about the terrible weather! We NEVER get rain and wind like this.

man i love San Francisco...

I really love my country, but sometimes it sucks to live in Australia because we miss out on a lot of cool stuff you Americans get daily via your mind numbing amount of television channels.
Wil... is it anywhere near possible you can put a selection of your television hosting performances on a tape and sell them via your site?
And sell them in a format that is compatible with Australia?
I'd really love to see them!
Congratulations on what sounds like a great time!

I watched a recording of the show last night. Great job, Wil. You fit right in. Busting on Kevin after the Patti LaBelle segment was hilarious. My wife has made fun of me in the past for reading your site and my geeky ways (good naturedly, of course), but she said she'd even watch the show if you were hosting. Not a bad compliment.

Wil,

TechTV is really a top notch network with quality shows and high production values. When G4 came out (with you on it) I was hoping for something similiar but it didn't even come close with cheap sets, too little new material, poor shows and a whole lot of other problems. Even "Arena" (the best of the shows) which you and Travis tried so hard to make a quality show was hurt by poor quality contestants, management restrictions on games, and a 30 minute time slot.

That said you SHINED on TSS last night. TSS is the best show on TechTV and the best show on tech I have ever seen. I have been watching it now for 2 1/2 years and still am amazed at that "little" show. My wife who has little intrest in computers other than her browsing and shopping and email on them doesn't mind to watch TSS because Leo and Patrick do an amazing job of making unwatchable topics seem down to earth and... watchable. It comes as news to me that Leo is going to leave TSS but if that is true I TRULY hope TSS offers you a full-time gig, and that your life can except it because you were the best guest host I have ever seen on the show. Megan, Morgan, and Martin are all critical elements of the show but do their best job when reporting from the sidelines and while I hope Leo never leaves, if he does I sure hope you can get the gig.

I wish you best of luck in all your future endeavors but clearly, and I think your realizing it, your life is heading in a new direction that will likely never been box office stardom again... but will be so much more rewarding.

PS: I flew on a bumpy airline ride last night... I was just sitting in the front seat (yeah the front *most* seat on the left with the big picture windows) thinking what does space bound Wil not like about flying? Hell, I do it every day. ;)

Hey Wil, glad you enjoyed your stay in SF. Next time, you definitely want to talk to the hotel about how "quaint" their rooms are. Hotels suck as a general rule, but unless you need ancient plumbing and heating for a true "SF Experience," you're better off making sure the place is reasonably modernized. There's a hell of a lot of quaintness in my town.

"I want my TechTV!" Why is it that I don't have any of the "cool" channels?...oh, that's right, I'm too cheap to pay for digital cable.

LOL --> Everyone keeps asking me if I'm nervous. I am not, but this constant questioning makes me think that I should be nervous, so now I'm nervous because I wasn't nervous.
sorry but i thought thast that was hilarious!! lol.... well i;m sorry u had such a shitty sleep in the hotel :) lol its nice to sleep in ur own bed sum times!!

Saw you on the screen savers (I actually, after reading that you would be on, deliberately set a reminder to watch it..) I thought the show was fantastic and I must say the hair suits you.
Have a good holiday!

i'm glad you like san francisco so much. i love it very much too.

yeah, absolutely. Yay for loren and kelly.

Aww damn. I work at Macy's, on the sixth floor (best view from there), and I look out over Union Square every day, and the -one time- I've ever traded my shift had to be the day you stopped by. And I don't get Tech TV, so I didn't even get to see you on the show.

I had the extreme pleasure of booking Wil's visit to The Screen Savers" and taking him and his lovely wife Anne out to dinner.

Wil is delightful, brilliant, and engaging, and I sincerely hope we can find a way to maximize Wil's unrelenting talent on TechTV.

Feel free to email me (with Wil Wheaton in the subject line), if you watch TechTV and have any ideas on how you would like to see him shine on the network.

Warmest wishes for a wonderful holiday!
SJA
