Mark Hayward on the CBS Early Show with the Duncan Crew
I managed to get myself on National TV once again! Check it out: It was great fun hanging out with Bob Rule and getting the stories from the old days of yo-yo demonstrations. Of course it’s fun hanging with the other guys in the tour van, but they’re no Bob Rule. You can see Bob’s [...]

I Made It Onto The National News!
Yup. You read it correctly. Tonight I was on the NBC Nightly News. Screenshot from MSNBC.com They were doing a story on the writer’s strike and how it affects shows that are run every day like The Tonight Show, and Late Night with David Letterman, and one of the clips they used when talking about [...]

Being on Letterman Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving
I just got an email today from Jonathan Burns saying that he saw me on Letterman’s website. I didn’t know what he was talking about so I went to the site, and lo and behold, there I am on the front page in the highlights slideshow! (I’m number 3) That is so awesome! Check it [...]

Am I the First to Benefit from the Writers Strike?
My friend Jon Wee just pointed out that I may in fact be the first person to benefit from the current writers strike. Since there is no one to write for The Late Show with David Letterman, they have started doing reruns, and the first one they aired was the one with my appearance on [...]

Mark Hayward on Letterman
It’s true! I had the good fortune to be on the Late Show with David Letterman last month on the Stupid Human Tricks segment. I’m not sure why I haven’t gotten around to writing about it before now… I must’ve been busy… or something. I will write up a more detailed account at some point [...]

I’m Big In Asia
I just got a great email from my friend Kenny Ahern: HI Mark — I hope all went well for you on Letterman. I am in Singapore now, no Letterman Show. However, I have good news for you. Two young guys in my stage crew think you are a yo-yo god. They were doing some [...]

Watch for me on Nickelodeon’s Slime Across America
Yesterday, as I was setting up to do my first street show at Summerfest in Milwaukee, there was a big camera crew standing in front of me. I went over to ask what they were doing, and to see if they were going to be staying right there for long since I wanted to do [...]

Letterman’s Stupid Human Tricks Audition
I went up to Chicago this week to audition for Stupid Human Tricks from The Late Show with David Letterman. It was surprisingly low-key. I figured that there would be at least 100 people in line, and possibly 1000, but as it turned out, there were 18 registrants. I did my marshmallow tricks with the [...]

MadFest and Chris Bliss
Having just finished another great MadFest juggling convention I have come to a better understanding of why there was such a controversy over the popularity of the Chris Bliss video that swept the internet a while back. (If you haven’t already seen it, check it out here before you read the rest of this article.) [...]
