@26 horses LOL the paint drying.. what about the bugs behind him?
The paint must be dry else the bug would have got stuck. As he is meandering I sit wondering if the paint was a deliberate attempt to create a palatable backdrop. I would recommend a poster or a bedsheet. Jedimiller at least has some nice SW memorabilia for a decent backdrop!
On the plus side, he has some guts to face the some ridicule and step up to the plate. By going on youtube, he actually has a far better chance of getting views out of the starting gate.
On his delivery? Monotone and flat. I've seen Capitol One bank cards express more personality. Way too much stammering. When his chair slipped that was a time to spin some humor into things! i.e."Richard Hoagland's chair just creaked...here it just buckles entirely! I haven't had such fun since 8th grade!"
Admittedly, he seems like a nice guy and I don't want to really rip him apart. Maybe he should do some practice broadcasts and have a few volunteers as callers to work on his delivery a bit. I wouldn't recommend Lasha as a first guest. She would use her own skills (however minimal as they may be) to outmaneuver and bury him. If he doesn't pay during the show, it will cost him later.
Since he has a visual medium he, needs to show the dog! Linda Moulton Howe brings on Fluffy and Chocolate every show. I also suggest a bookshelf. If he is not intellectual, he can look like one. It will go with the glasses. Spin it to the max and fake it even if it takes extraordinary levels of show prep.
