One of the highlights of my week – interviewing Joel McHale and Ken Jeong from Community.
Both are funny men and I totally fell in love with McHale’s brand of snarky humor on the Soup. (Who needs to watch all the crap on TV when McHale can some it up with a 5-second commentary on the Soup? I know!) Both also, nearly, hijacked my show as I was counting down my anchor to wrap up the interview. We needed to hit another time slot for the Today show update and they clearly wanted to keep chatting. If you watch the interview carefully, I think you can see my anchor flinch as she hears me in her ear…saying “WRAP!”
“You can keep talking to us…I don’t care. You don’t have important news to fill.” – Joel McHale to my anchor.
Thank God for funny interviews like these because next week will be hell for me in the newsroom.
2 weeks and 3 days left.
