Casting for a Cameo
Posted by Pete Robbins on Oct 4th 2020
Do you know what Cameo is?
I didn’t either, until my brother used the service for one of his wife’s birthday presents. Simply put, for a fee, you can get a personalized message from a celebrity. So if you want the actor who played the “Soup Nazi” to invite someone to dinner, it’s 80 bucks. If you want Greg Brady to wish you a “sunshine day,” it’s $140. And if you’d like to hire 80s crooner Taylor Dayne to tell it to someone’s heart, that’s arguably a bargain at $125.
There are only 10 options in the “Hunt, Camp, Fish” category, none of whom I’ve heard of – although in some cases I’m familiar with the shows they’re on (e.g., Wicked Tuna).
This leads me to believe that someone needs to jump on the opportunity and create a similar bass-themed service.
How great would it be to be woken up by a Zoom call from Shaw Grigsby inviting you to “Get up and catch some big ol’ pigs”?
Or try to figure out what Zona means when he calls you a “slaunch” or a “fence panda” over Skype?
And the dulcet tones of Tommy Sanders could relax you on the most stressful day.
But I think I’d pay the most just to hear Aaron “A-Train” Quarles of Tackle Warehouse utter random phrases like “What’s crackin’, peeps?” and “This is gonna get you bit.” If you know who I’m talking about I’m pretty sure you would, too.
