Another word of warning: Millions of dollars are spent on TV productions, and there are people whose heads are on the line. One mistake could throw the entire production off track, off schedule and undoubtedly off budget. Word of a newbie P.A. screwing up and costing the production time and money will spread like wildfire. Your name will be impugned, and you will never work in this town again. So acknowledge that you are being set up to fail. Things go wrong on the set daily. Mostly, those things will be the P.A.s responsibility. It might not even be your fault, but youre at the bottom of the food chain, so youll be blamed. Grow a thick skin and get ready to take blame graciously.
