This multimedia presentation features over 300 slides and sound bytes plus Toomey’s dead-on impersonations of your favorite TV celebrities. TV & Me is a must see for all members of the TV generation.

Mike Toomey grew up glued to the tube, and TV & Me is the manifestation of his obsession. His ability to remember his favorite programs verbatim and impersonate the voices of his favorite characters made Mike very popular with his classmates, if not his teachers. Once told by a grade school principal that “no one ever made a career out of watching television,” Mike Toomey set out to prove the principal wrong. He continues to this day on his life-long mission to prove her wrong. To make a career out of watching TV: To boldly go where no man has gone before!
