VIDEO: Balloon Boy Tells CNN, 'We Did This for the Show'
This video clip is sure to be the subject of much debate in the coming hours.
Appearing on CNN's "Larry King Live" Thursday, Balloon Boy (a k a Falcon) is asked by guest host Wolf Blitzer why he didn't respond when he heard his parents calling for him.
His response? After looking at him mom, he said: "We did this for the show."
Ruh-roh.
Falcon's dad can be heard letting out an audible sigh a few seconds later. Blitzer, amazingly, doesn't follow up on Falcon's "show" comment.
But expect plenty of media speculation tonight and tomorrow about whether Falcon's comment is a sign that today's "Adventures of Balloon Boy" was all a stunt designed to get the family a TV show of some sort. Or whether, perhaps such a series is already in the works.
Balloon Boy and his family are already familiar with the TV world: They've appeared twice on ABC's "Wife Swap."

Maria Sauceda - are you kidding me? they wasted time to save a boy life who was never in any danger wasting millions of people tax dollars. Its not ok to do a hoax. this family is mess up. these are not actors your moron.
Robert- i was suspicion once they said they found the boy in the house. I also heard that they said that they called the media first before calling local cops.
Geoffrey- I know he randomly goes on how his son wants something but can't get it. He avoids the whole question and makes a random answer up.

Audible sigh? I thought it was more like someone "passing gas"
Am I the only one who heard that?

you better listen to that kid again.
he said "you guys told me we did it for the show"
Then the father said "oh man!"
Sharon Waxman Says
ok, sorry, that's a big giveaway.
dad: "why didn't you come out?"
falcon: "um, you guys said, that we did this for the show."
as my teenager would say: Fail.

Cynically, even before the CNN interview I wondered if Balloon Boy's dad was involved with Discovery's STORM CHASERS which returns Sunday at 10pm with new episodes. The news coverage referenced him being a storm chaser only about twice a minute, and we know he LOVES to be on TV...

But did you see when Wolf tried to follow this up at the very end of the interview? The father got very flustered and then defensive.
