He calls himself the “godfather of the show.”
Teller tells me I’m a member of the very elite. “These are people you would call royalty. You come to the meetings and you go to the parties,” he says.
“When you have a job like this it’s kind of like being an old-timey country boy,” he says. “All of a sudden at the age of 33, you’re a professional. You’re getting your feet wet and it doesn’t take months. You’re at this show and suddenly you’re in the big time.”
