Two entities teetering on the brink of irrelevance have decided to join forces. The Real World will be shot in Washington D.C. and the group will be interning with the Washington Capitals. A cast member named Ty Ruff was spotted at the recent Capitals “media day fantasy camp.” I’m going to go out on a CRAZY limb and say that they’re doing fan relations stuff. I can pretty much guarantee that this scenario will happen: roommate X gets wasted and shows up to work too late to help give out Papa Johns coupons. Who’s excited?
Via Washington Post:
Fact: Today was Caps Media Fantasy Camp. There were print people and radio people and yes, TV people. NBC’s Lindsay Czarniak and Dan Hellie were there, with a cameraman. Fox 5’s Dave Feldman was there, with a cameraman. WUSA’s Sara Walsh was there with a cameraman, too.
But one gent–whom none of the media vets recognized–came out later than everyone else, and with a five-person entourage, including one guy holding a boom mic. I mean, when you have more people behind you than Dave Feldman, you know you’re important. When asked where he was from, this guy said “Baltimore,” which wasn’t what we meant. When asked who they were with, one of the important people said they were “shooting a documentary.” They told others that it was a hockey documentary.
Fact: This fellow, named Ty, said he’s interning with the Caps and is doing a sort of documentary, but declined to provide more specifics. (Read more about Ty here.)
