Kevin Kim, in today’s edition, outlines the typical career arc of a successful stand-up comic, from early aspirations at the microphone to washed-up Hollywood star.
After spending many years doing freelance recording for the music-for-hire houses here in New York, I can offer a similar timeline, The Life of a Jingle Singer.
Let’s say his name is Kyle Simms. His career unfolds as follows:
- “‘Kyle Simms’?? Who’s Kyle Simms?”
- “Get me Kyle Simms!!”
- “What we need for this is a young Kyle Simms…”
- “‘Kyle Simms’?? Who’s Kyle Simms?”
Yes, it’s a brutal life, friends. But at least it’s short.
