On the Food Network, tonight at 10PM...<br /></p> <p>You can <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_hs/text/0,2763,FOOD_24696_39932,00.html">view his Food Network page</a> and see a sample of what he is going to do. At least I think that's what he's going to do.&nbsp; He's always been more of a TV or Film guy than radio (he worked at SNL for awhile).&nbsp; Here he combines the street stuff with cooking, which is a hard combo, but he'll be able to pull it off.</p><p>Kevork becomes the third person to get a big-time TV gig that I know.&nbsp; He joins Tony Reali of ESPN's Around the Horn and Spero Dedes - the play-by-play voice of the Los Angeles Lakers.&nbsp; But my career's going just fine, why do you ask?</p><p>In a somewhat related note, in less than a week, I will need beta testers for a new thing I'm working on.&nbsp; If you have a website, blog (preferably one of those two) or even just an interest in stupid/funny stories, <a href="http://chrisboylan.com/index.php?option=com_contact&Itemid=52">contact me</a> with your email address and I'll set you up when it starts (We're shooting for Fri the 13th or Sat the 14th).&nbsp; Or you can just reply to this post and I'll email you through the forum if you've registered.&nbsp; (Note: don't post your email address as it will be picked up by tons of spammers.&nbsp; A good rule of thumb is to never put your email address on a website.)</p><p>It will be in total beta - probably closer to alpha.&nbsp; Everything should work, but it will be a little rough around the edges.&nbsp; We hope to polish it up within the next few weeks, but we want feedback on how it works now. &nbsp; So be one of the first people to join.&nbsp; Then, when it's huge and there are 100,000 users, you can still be user #7 or something.<br /></p>
