Hey, apologies for the double post, but Bill posted on the Facebook group I'm in for fans of Toon in With Me about their immediate plans-post Leila.
Hi Everybody. It's me Bill, from the show.
I found out this Facebook page existed a few months ago, and I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate your support and commitment to Toon in With Me. I’m very proud of what we do, and knowing that you’re loving us, or liking us, or tolerating us, only makes us work harder, and hopefully better.
I also want to acknowledge Jon Cooke, who runs this page, and does a magnificent job at it. Thank you Jon for creating this platform!
Today’s show was very emotional. Actually, every emotion I have in me came into play when Leila told us she was leaving. Leila is easily one of the most talented people I’ve ever met or worked with, and her abilities are endless. I’m positive she’ll turn up on Saturday Night Live or something similar or better. She left on extremely amicable terms and will not be easy to replace.
So, what now? We all decided that it would be best to not rush into anything. Kevin is still there, as is Yazmin, as am I. Also, a strong team of writers and a technical crew that makes the magic happen. We decided to spend the summer showing more cartoons and to search and reconfigure a bit behind the scenes and in front of the camera.
I know that some of you like the cartoons and don’t like the bits. I know that some of you like the bits but don’t like the cartoons. I know that some of you enjoy both. I know that some of you hate both. (Hello Andrew.) It’s impossible to make everyone happy. Just know, we will definitely miss Leila, no question, but we’re all in the business of fun, and unlike baby formula, we have a lot in stock.
Thanks for reading this LONG manifesto, and for watching us!
Bill
