Does anyone have their show intro typed out that would be willing to share? I feel like mine is WAY too long.
 
I'm not formal at all with my intro... I really just kinda wing it. What all are you talking about in your intro?
 
Mine is right along these lines:

Good morning/afternoon/evening ladies (and gents). My name is Crystal Patton and I'm going to be your in-house food network today. The first thing I like to do at my shows is have everyone give (hosts name) a round of applause for inviting us all here. (We all clap, I give my story and wrap up saying) I want all of you here to know that whether or not you order anything tonight I am now your PC Lady. If you have a special event coming up and need a 'Wow' recipe or you have question about your products, purchased from me or not, please call me. I am very big on customer service and I love to hear from you. As I proceed if you see something you have and love, please share it with us and my lovely assistant, Vanna (I point to the host) will give you a ticket. If you see something you don't have and you do have a question about it, speak up and you can also get a ticket. Right before we eat we will draw for the door prizes. Tonight we are making ...

Then I go into the products and the recipe.
