MyHusbandIsAnnoying.com: But We Love Him Anyway Because He Is Our Coach Reporter

When we hired Mark Joyella as the first multimedia reporter to cover the coaching beat for the Coaching Commons, we really hoped his work would go viral. We hoped he would eventually be seen on network television, be interviewed on the radio, be featured in other people’s blogs.

Well, with less than three months on the job, he’s done all that and more.

Trouble is, it’s all because of his wife’s blog, http://myhusbandisannoying.com.

Mark’s wife, Tiffanie Wong, started a funny little blog cataloguing the minor annoyances that mar the perfection of their otherwise blissful newlywed state.

Turns out a lot of people – I mean a LOT of people – are interested in the husbandly foibles of our Coach Reporter.

If you missed the mostly-happy couple on the CBS Morning Show on Monday, August 24, take a look.

We just got word they’re booked on the Tyra Banks show on Tuesday, August 25.

Tiffanie’s busy turning this sudden fame into a book, while Mark has dreams of a sitcom (we think Jerry Seinfeld is perfect to play him, although Tiffanie might think Michael Richards more accurately captures the spirit of The Annoying One).

We’d find this all semi-annoying (he missed our weekly editorial meeting because, you know, Fame was on the other line) except for one thing.

He’s still a helluva reporter and he’s bringing something special (besides that ubiquitous green sweater and those frat-boy jokes) to the Coaching Commons.

Case in point: his stunning interview with Jayson Blair, disgraced plagiarist famously fired from the New York Times who has reinvented himself as a life coach.

Mark’s questioning revealed more than you might imagine, and I was spellbound by this podcast.

Coaching needs a reporter with this kind of moxie, and I’m glad Mark Joyella is on the beat for the Coaching Commons.

If you find him annoying at times, well, you’re not the only one.
