Our Interview with Jimmy

We got to chat with Jimmy about his upcoming new time change and here are some of the questions we asked:

Operator: Your next question comes from Stephanie Piche from Red Carpet Report.

Stephanie Piche: Hey, Jimmy. How are you?

Jimmy Kimmel: Good, how you doing?

Stephanie Piche: Good. Everyone ahead of me today asked all my prepped questions–

Jimmy Kimmel: OK.

Stephanie Piche: – so I’m going to ask – well, actually, one of my staff said to ask, because I was ran out of questions, “if your new show time doesn’t work, are you going to move to a podcast?”

Jimmy Kimmel: Let’s hope not.

Stephanie Piche: No? (kidding / laugher) –

Jimmy Kimmel: But I won’t rule anything out.

Stephanie Piche: Perfect. How long do you see you doing your show for? Are you going to be a lifer?

Jimmy Kimmel: No, I’m not going to be one of those guys that they have to drag off the stage. I mean, I look at it now and I think, you know, if we were lucky enough to be able to do another 10 years, I would be very happy with that. But with that said, you never know. You get there, I mean, and there seems to be some addiction that takes hold and people are unwilling to give these jobs up. But, you know, sometimes I do think about being able to just relax and read the sports page in its entirety again.

Stephanie Piche: Great. OK. And is there someone who you look forward to interviewing that you haven’t done so yet?

Jimmy Kimmel: Oh, there’s a lot of people. I mean, but at the top of my list probably Bill Murray, Steve Martin, these are guys that, you know, I’ve admired for a long time and who are great talk-show guests who’ve never been to the show. So, I – if I had to name two, that would be them.

Stephanie Piche: Well, maybe Bill will with “Ghost Busters” coming around again.

Jimmy Kimmel: Yes, we’ll see.

Stephanie Piche: OK, good luck.

Jimmy Kimmel: All right. Thanks, (Stephanie).

We really liked being part of the press talking to Jimmy, he was very genuine and really listened and gave good answers to the tough questions about Late Night Talk Show host feuds… you can google that stuff – we like to stick to the positive and tell you that we recommend “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and now that the show is on at 11:35 pm starting the 8th of January, you can tune in to some fresh comedy and entertainment like we will be doing.

Tomorrow is the Season Opener for the New “The Bachelor” on ABC Now You Can Love Monday’s Again!

Sean Lowe, The Bachelor

Ladies, get ready for another exciting season of The Bachelor.

Most of us remember, heart-throb, Sean Lowe from the season of The Bachelorette with Emily Maynard, who passed on “the perfect man” eliminating him and shocking not only Sean but all of us watching.

Now, it’s Sean’s turn to find love and we believe he has his hands full with this group of single ladies.

We’re excited to say that we got to speak with Sean about the next edition of ABC’s hit romance reality series, “The Bachelor,” and want to recommend that our Red Carpet Report fans tune in on Monday, January 7, 2013 for the season opener… it’s one you won’t want to miss!

In case this is your first time hearing about the new Bachelor, Sean, here’s some deets: he’s 29 years old and is a successful entrepreneur who lives in Dallas. He’s very close to his family, and a true Southern gentleman. He’d also like to have a big family and is very focused on family values as demonstrated by his relationships with his parents and sister.  Sean is 6’3″ and attended Kansas State on a full football scholarship and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. He started in finance and then moved into the insurance industry but now he is the proud owner of an upscale, custom furniture business. Sean loves to camp, wakeboard, dance, be outdoors, go to concerts and have fun with his two dogs, Lola and Ellie.

First Impressions – The Bachelor

Now that you know something about him, you can size up the single ladies as they try to make their BEST first impression Sean. But before you do, check out this fun video of past Bachelor shows and some of the memorable first impressions that happened on the show.

Our Chat with Sean

Operator: Your next question comes from Stephanie Piche from Red Carpet Report.

Stephanie Piche: Hi Sean. I really enjoyed getting to know you on The Bachelorette, and we’re excited to see what happens this season. My question for you is, how many rules are you going to break this time around?

Sean Lowe: You know, I’ve never been one to really conform to rules that are set, so you’re going to see me break quite a few rules, and I did The Bachelor for a specific reason. It was to find the love of my life, and I feel like there were certain points in the season where I couldn’t follow the rules. I had to follow my heart as opposed to the rules, and so I think you’re going to see me breaking quite a few rules this season.

Stephanie Piche: OK. And, what’s the best advice your parents have given you about participating in this process?

Sean Lowe: You know, my parents know me better than anyone else, and they told me, just be yourself and stay true to who you are and then, you know, of course, stay in prayer and everything’s going to work itself out. And, they trust me and they trust my judgment and so they knew that, you know, I would follow my heart, and they knew that I’d represent the family well and ultimately make the decision that’s best for me.

Stephanie Piche: Great… And, one quick question. What’s your pet peeve, stuff that you’ve found with this whole process with these ladies?

Sean Lowe: Oh, biggest pet peeve. Like I said earlier, it’s almost inevitable for this to happen, but it always irritated me when girls would get caught up more in the drama and then they would lose focus on the real reason that they were there. And, you know, of course, I want them to focus on the relationship that we’re developing and not focus on all the other BS going on with the other women in the house.

Stephanie Piche: Of course. Thanks so much and good luck.

Sean Lowe: Thank you very much.
