talk show manager
I've always wanted to have my own talk show. So my brother and his friend have started one on youtube. I'm the manager. Basicly, I look up stuff to talk about unless, there are people who have stuff they want to hear. So, here is the video that talks about whats going to happen: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
And then here is a video of the first talkshow: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Are we heading the right way to get big? I look up all the information and basicly write the script. What do you think? There advice to people stinks so i write that two, go figure. But what do you think? Good, bad? I love giving advice, and i wnat to be on my own talk show one day, but i think basicly doing everything for my brother is n't helping me.

The best thing you can do is become a solid writer and really study it. You can't be successful on a television talk show without knowing how to write a script same goes double for TV news.
Pick up all the English courses you can in school from compulsory to electives such as Business English. Then when you are ready to graduate high school get into TV and Radio Broadcasting as it will lead you where you need and want to be.
What to do now? Well, you're right about one thing doing everything for your friend's project won't get you far. You aren't on camera and the program in your own estimation isn't good. The only way to succeed there is if you write quality scripts, get them edited and shoot it. That would catch adult's attention but otherwise not.
Spend time learning to write as well as act. Study drama, get into community theatre and build up stage presence as well as your voice. Also join student council and everything that involves leadership and speaking in front of others no matter what size audience.
It's also very important for you to read multiple newspapers, web sites and view TV news constantly. You need to be up on current events for the field you want to be in and watching how people speak, write and present their pieces.
What you should do is call the newsrooms at your local paper or dailies and ask for the editor or e-mail them. Let them know you want to be involved in television and journalism when you get older and would like to tour the paper and job shadow editors and reporters. They'll take you on assignment and show you how they craft stories.
If they think you're any good they may let you write something small yourself. Also call the newsroom at the local Tv station. They won't put you on air but if you ask to tour the station and go with a reporter to a story and spend the day with him/her they'll let you.
As long as you're mature and don't get in the way when they're live (stand where you should be and not waving to people) they're usually fine with this. Believe it or not some people have waved to people and stepped into live shots before.
Some stations require you to be 18 for a ride-along with reporters and some don't. The reason being is they can't take you to crime scenes, anywhere where shots have been fired or you can be in peril without you signing off on liability. But call and see anyway.
Read all the books you can about grammar, writing, script writing as you get older. Definitely get into theatre and try being an extra in TV and movies filmed in a large city near you as it will show you what being on set is like. The more you know about how things are filmed the better.
In most communities you have a Cable 10 local channel. Call that station and learn about volunteering or watching what they and their hosts do. Ask them a lot of questions and you'll see what the job of producing and hosting a program entails.
