    TV Guides Infanity

    I switched to the TV guide channel today to see what was on and they were doing a spot on Infanity about the TV show Jericho. A short clip about the special effects guys showed that they were all wearing Utilikilts. The main guy said that they had all been kilted in traditional kilts at a wedding and liked it, but didn't want to use those ilts for working. Then they found the Utilikilts with all the pockets for their tools and they were sold.

    The host made some comment about being careful what they revealed and the guy admitted he had to be careful on ladders.

    Excellent, nice to see kilts becoming more common in another workplace.

    From the Dec 2006 Utilikilt Newsletter
    The FX Crew of the TV show "Jericho":
    Tom Seymour, Charles Cooley,
    J.D. Streett and Bob Ahmanson

    These guys are the special effects crew for the CBS tv show, "Jericho". The show is about the people in a small Kansas town who have been suddenly left without public services or connection to the outside work due to some sort of nuclear event. (Accident? Attack? Nobody knows! Yet...)

    These guys wear their kilts for their daily job. Tom tells us what the "daily job" is for someone in his position:

    "We are all currently working full-time on "Jericho". As far as what kind of FX we do, there is a lot of smoke and fog. But we have done some fires, car crashes, gunfights, rain and dust storms and a couple explosions.
    The kilts are super comfortable on hot days, and the pockets are great for tools, water bottles, etc.
    Plus everyone else on the crew gets a big kick out of watching the kilted FX crew go about their work.
    Oh yeah, the UK is a big hit amongst the female contingent of our show!"

    Now I'm starting to wonder... is wearing a kilt every day and being generally handy with tools enough to get ME a job with these guys?!? What a blast! ;-)


    Best regards,

    Jake

    I was just wearing my Utilikit while working on the "ellen" show this past week. I think someone took a photo of me working, but don't have it just yet.

    In any case you will see me on the show when we start off the show.

    More to come.
