CMU is so lucky!

Trey Parker! Come to my school! (Northern Arizona University)

There was a panel at my school earlier with some of the NAU professors about working in television and during the panel discussion one of them said “Pick your person. Pick someone to model your career after.”

After the workshop I went to one of the panelists and said, “Trey Parker. Trey Parker is my person.”

(The professor was like, “Who?” because this was really a panel on working in TV news…)

But since then, they’ve indulged my desire to follow my “person”. In addition to my normal course load, I have been writing sketch on a regular basis.

The work that Trey and Matt and the South Park team do is such an inspiration, and that’s what keeps me from getting distracted by silly thing like college. (JK! I’m doing very well in my studies, too!)

What I want to know and what is missing from the story is, why CMU? Besides that he was invited by “a distant relative”. I mean, the dude is from Colorado, and somehow you got not only him, but his “family and friends” to come along to Michigan to speak. HOW. That strikes me as odd, especially because you said it’s his first ever speaking appearance at a university (really?). And no offense, but he could have visited better colleges.

Agreed, there is a reason he has a show that has been on the air this long. However, if you have a bunch of moronic insights and “ideas” for the show, NBC would probably hire you in a second.

I hope you can release the video on DVD, like Kevin Smith does.

I loved seeing Trey Parker! He was one of my FAB FIVE of celebrities I’v wanted to see or meet in person before I died. I’m so happy he came to CMU he was great. But yes, some of the student questions were stupid. Especially those who try to give him ideas for a show. If he really wanted your optionion he’d ask you for any ideas

This was fun, reminded me of “Inside the Actors Studio”. Should have more informal interviews like that.

Some of the students questions were getting emabarssing though…
