Are You Ready Skee-Daddy!!!
October 7th, 2007
On Friday, I had a chance to visit the set of CNBC’s Mad Money and meet the crazy man himself, Jim Cramer. My friend Pat is a producer for the show and he invited me to come and watch the show taping and meet Jim Cramer. So last friday, I grabbed my father-in-law and headed to Englewood Cliffs, NJ to get some booyah action. There was no studio audience. Just the show’s producers, cameramen, makeup artist and other executives. I met most of them – they all were very nice people who had a lot of enthusiasm about the show. Someone brought us “director’s chairs” and bottled water to make us feel comfortable. I have to say that the staff made us feel welcome and glad that we were fans of the show.Watching the show from behind the scenes definately gave me a different perspective. The show is already a little wacky and entertaining, but it’s even more entertaining in person. I watched Cramer put on his Viking hat and talk about the Four Horsemen of Tech. For those of you who don’t know what that means, the Four Horsemen of Tech is the name that Jim Cramer has given to Apple, Google, RIM and Amazon.
We toured the control room and saw other CNBC sets including Fast Money and Kudlow & Company. Jim Cramer seemed to be a really likeable guy and was more than happy to take the time with me to take a few photos. I even got to press the Mad Money soundboard buttons! What a great end to a wonderful stock market day! (Friday was a great day for the market)
See all of the photos here.
Sounds like an awesome experience.
Did you get a chance to talk about any of your recent picks with Cramer?
No… He seemed to be pretty busy, but we did talk about the Bobblehead pictures that I sent him from Alcatraz which appeared on the show a couple of weeks ago.
All I have to say is Booyah! I do not like to watch (money) shows…I mean who would if ya don’t have money right? Anyway, I do like to watch Mr. Booyah’s show! He makes money TV very interesting! So what’s your favorite sound from the Mad Money Sounboard…mine is the BULL! Oh, by the way, nah I didn’t want to go or anything! I know ya have a liking for Cramer…but what was Kudlow & Co like? I like that Kudlow…I listen to him on the radio!
Peace!
Tell the Family I said hi!
Love,
