It will be part "I Bet You," part "Dirty Jobs," part "Dhani Tackles the Globe," part "The Pretender," part "Poker after Dark," and part "World of Jenks."
a few ideas:
Virtual world real estate broker i.e. Second Life, Entropia Universe
Touring Magic the gathering pro.
professional inventor
professional PC gamer
anti-smoking ad campaign manager
costume party planner
prophet
poker tournament director
soap opera director
3rd grade math teacher
techno DJ
dating reality tv show executive producer
game show developer
flash mob coordinator
demanding billionaire's assistant
wedding planner
reasons why this would work:
Shows like this are wildly popular. WhoTF is Jenks? just some random film maker who has the balls to hang out with homeless chicks and give them a phone. How many people watched that episode? who were the stars in it? Jenks and a homeless chick. who would watch that? everybody!
WhoTF is Mike Rowe? some guy that is willing to get a little animal semen on his elbow.
Just think of the side bets that would come out of the woodwork. You would be in action the whole time, just maybe not on TV.
It's not exactly Jean-Robert Bellande drinking parasitic water in china. This would actually garner some positive attention toward poker when people see our stephen hawking kicking brain all over the telly. In a subtle way it shows that you could have been anything, but you chose poker.
Here's the intro: My name is Tom Dwan, i am a twenty something multi millionaire from edison new jersey. i deposited 50 dollars onto party poker, blah blah blah......I've dominated the poker scene since i was 20 whatever. I invent the moves that everybody will be doing 30 years from now. I've always been an innovator. now i want a new challenge.....
if mickey mouse could be a fireman or a genie, you could be a professional text messager.
