Taylor's Williamson's Amazing Blog

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who called or sent me a message regarding my appearance on Craig Ferguson. It really means a lot. Special thanks to those of you who didn’t know me before, and took the effort to look me up. An extra special thanks to the person who sent the following email to me….

“Subject: Not funny

Saw you on Craig Ferguson you need a lot of work, did not find you to be a comedian”

Now keep in mind the effort this person made to contact me. First, they had to be up after 1:30am. Then, they had to figure out what my name was, which probably meant going to CBS.com and finding the Craig Ferguson page. Then googling my name to find my webpage, and finding a way to contact me. What kind of person would send an email like this? Probably some bitter old comic, or maybe a 15 year old kid trying to be funny? I didn’t reply….but thankfully for me, this person sent an email to my manager, thinking it was me, with a similar message.

“Subject: Not funny

You say you are a comedian. Just saw you for the first time and hopefully the last, you are not at all funny. You need to do a lot of work on your routine
Sorry pal”

My manager replied with a comment along the lines of, “What were you doing when you were 20?” And this person gave a wonderful response.

“As a nurse, I was caring for babies in intensive care and raising one of my own. 20? Gosh I thought he was 14 or 15
You were the contact point for Taylor Williamson, not meant to offend you but since you are the web master, maybe you could tell him he really is not funny.”

OK. So according to this message, the sender of the email thought I was 14 or 15, and still spent time out of their day trying to let me know that I’m not funny? I bet this person also watches America’s Got Talent and sees an 8 year old singing, then looks them up, and sends an email saying “You’re a bad singer. Go back to 4th grade.”

To any jerks out there, never underestimate the amount of free time of a stand-up comedian. All I had to do was google this person’s email address to find a gold mine of awkward family pictures and personal information. It turns out this email was sent by a 67 year old lady in Rhode Island, who happens to be an “ordained minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Yikes. I’m not as educated on the bible as I’d like to be, but I doubt Jesus would have sent such mean emails. He probably would have sent me a nice email, and I bet he also would’ve used complete sentences!

Now I would not stoop so low as to give out her personal information or link to her website full of strange family pictures. That would not be nice. I will instead end this blog with a random picture of a friend of mine, who just happens to be a 67 year old lady who lives in Rhode Island, on her 1999 Mardi Gras trip
