Six More Questions With HDNet's Katie Daryl

Katie Daryl, host of HDNet's Deadline and the indie music show True Music, takes six more questions from the readers of TVPredictions.com.

Do those randy young musicians on True Music ever 'hit' on you? -- Frank R. (Editor's Note: Katie interviews different musicians every week on True Music.)
Not as much as you'd think! The interviews usually take place 15 minutes before the band does their sound check so it's typically a rushed environment and the bands' minds are scattered. I have a had a few date requests, but I've declined. I'm always up for making a friend and supporting a new group, but going out on a date is a no-go. Plus, most of these bands are touring acts, it would be silly to go out on a date with some drummer, end up liking him, and then not seeing him again for 4-6 months!

Where do you get all your energy? You always seem so perky and happy! -- Gina S.
Thanks for noticing! I do try to keep my energy levels up for the shows. I'm a pretty spunky person to begin with, but usually right before the shoots I mellow out. I read the bands' bios, or scribble notes about the festival we are at for Deadline and I sort of keep to myself. I store up the energy and then BOOM! When we start rolling tape, I am ready to have fun.

What is (HDNet co-founder) Mark Cuban like? -- Aaron R.
I am very lucky to have met Mark. I actually first started working with him when I co-hosted 'The Mark Cuban Show' on CBS/UPN in Dallas. I did the show with Mark for 2 seasons and had some of the best times of my life. Getting to meet so many NBA players, go to two All Star Games, hang out in locker rooms, I mean come on, what a great experience and I owe that all to Mark. Mark took a chance on me by letting me put together a pilot for True Music, and here we are 5 years later and I've interviewed over 500 bands. I was honored when HDNet then offered me my second gig as Deadline's host. So, I have nothing but awesome things to say about Mark. He is smart, fun, open minded and he doesn't give out bad seats to Mavs games either!

Is there any way to submit HD video for Deadline? -- Mark S.
Yes! Yes! YES! If you have any Deadline! story ideas or you've shot some Deadline! worthy material please let us know! deadline@hd.net is the best way to email the Deadline! team.

Do people ever recognize you when you walk around the street? -- Kim P.
Yup, they do. Not a crazy amount, but casually each week I probably have 5-10 people say hello to me whether I'm at the mall, a concert or out to dinner. It's funny when I go out for Deadline! to events like Adult Con, Mardi Gras, or Erotica LA...boy we have a lot of viewers and Katie Daryl fans at those places!

Will you ever be on Get Out!? You're better looking than some of the girls on the show. -- Bob T. (Editor's Note: Get Out! is a program on HDNet starring Lindsay Clubine and other women who usually wear bikinis.)
Thanks for the props! Those girls seem to always have fun adventures together. I might be a loose cannon if they put me in the mix. Think about all the F-Bombs I'd end up dropping while bungee jumping or waterfall diving; they'd fire me for sure! I do my best work in jeans and a T-Shirt; if I had to do it in a bikini, all I'd be able to think about is nachos and sucking in my belly!
