English term or phrase: wimpy
Sometimes it's just too hard to get on a particular show. Or, the show is just flooded with greatguests. If all else fails, simply say, "Please do keep my material on file. I'm always available. If youneed me as a guest, I'll be there for you. Just call me, even if it's at the last moment."
Will such a wimpy line work? Well, one hopeful tried this with "The Larry King Show" (one of thelargest shows in the country and certainly the largest radio show in the country). It worked.
