Meet an Announcer: Frank Cabanski

A Hollywood outsider, Frank was black listed after his now infamous dispute with Fabio, who claimed Frank's longer and more luxuriant hair (a style he still wears) was infringing on the famous model's image. Thanks to the encouragement of friends and family, often expressed as "will you please shut up," Frank resurrected his career as an emcee. Frank, and his fabulous hair, will be on hand as a studio announcer. Feel free to tip him, as he's earning minimum wage driving the Accessibility Idol set
around the country in a rented truck.

Oh that Frank -- we can never tell when he's kidding. But insider scoop from the AI studio suggests that the network suits are getting annoyed by continuing to bad mouth AI with talk of his pay. IGDA TV Network Exec Jason Della Rocca was quoted as saying "This is just the typical posturing we've come to expect from Frank -- now it's Frank...then it will be Robert...next thing you know? We have to shut the show down because we can't pay their outrageous weekly salary demands." Could Frank find himself replaced by Paula Abdul...crazier things have happened in the reality TV world!
