TDS Wants to Interview “Wealthy Real Estate Investor”
By Barry Ritholtz - August 14th, 2009, 6:49AM
I would imagine this is going to be a tough request to fill:
Daily Show looking to interview wealthy real estate investor in the NYC area.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is looking to interview a wealthy real estate investor in the NYC area as part of a segment we’re working on. We want your advice & expertise on a potential (fake) real estate investment opportunity. Looking to conduct this short interview sometime early next week at your office in the city. You won’t be made to look like a fool!
If you’re interested, contact me for more details. Serious inquiries only, please.
Thanks!

“You won’t be made to look like a fool!”
The first thought that popped into my head was Dr. Pepper commercial with Kelsey Grammer saying “Trust me, I’m a doctor”.

I nominate Ivanka Trump. She’s on Squawk Box this a.m. You can’t see too much of her on T.V. Stunning.

They are obviously trolling for Tim Geithner. He would be a fabulous catch.

Ton of ‘em. You think every RE investor just fell off a Christmas tree in the past 5 years? Biggest problem of the day for the RE guy’s I trade with is counting their enormous cash-flow. …….. and like any other business… they are being presented offers from the weak, distressed psuedo investors every week.

Is this a veiled attempt to interview Donald Trump? He is from NYC, is he?
Or is that part of the joke?

Geez, that should be isn’t he?

They really aren’t out to make anyone look like a fool in this request. When they do, they usually make the request as Viacom/MTV Networks, implying that it is an interview for MTV News or something like that.

Maybe they want to buy his property and want to see if it is a ’scam’ considering he works for the Fed and all

I’ve always wondered just exactly how they go about these “interviews.” Any more info you can share on the process? I’d be fascinated to hear it. The psychology of the whole thing is very interesting.

Uh-huh. Yup, and I have this bridge to sell ya.

Tiny Tim would be a great choice, he has this dynamite piece of RE to unload to a chump, I mean sell to a buyer.

I don’t think trump meets the criteria nowadays.

That garish bathroom reno at Tiny Tim’s house tells you all you need to know about the man.
