I'm two weeks into a brand new internship with ET Canada and I've been able to meet a lot of cool people and get some behind-the-scenes insight into how the show is produced. I'm working specifically with the web team, so I've been able to help out with online photo galleries and blog posts. Here are some of the articles I've gotten to write so far!
I've had the pleasure of being a part of many different audiences so far and although someday I'd love to be in front of the camera, you gotta start somewhere right? I try to visit as many studios/TV sets so that I can see behind-the-scenes and learn about what goes into the production of some of my favourite shows. In Toronto, I've checked out Steven & Chris, George Stroumboulopoulos, and New.Music.Live and in New York I've been to Nikki & Sara Live and the Katie Couric show, just to name a few. Most recently, I got to add Bethenny to the list.
Formerly known from the hit show The Real Housewives of New York, Bethenny Frankel has become her own brand, working hard as a mother and entrepreneur. She launched her line of Skinnygirl Cocktails and has landed her own TV talk show thanks to her pal Ellen DeGeneres.
The day I'd been waiting for had arrived at last: January 9th, The People's Choice Awards.
We had to be at the theatre at 10:30am to check-in and take part in the full run through rehearsal of the show so we got up early and got all ready for the big event.
This is us in our hotel room, super excited and ready to go:
We were really quite sad that we weren't allowed to bring any cameras, phones, etc so we wouldn't be able to capture the memories, but thanks to the wonderful people of Gotham Casting, one of the organizers passed around her own camera for us all to use. I was so excited. Hooray for photos!
With our new friend Matt
She even let us use a flipcam...so here is our vlog during lunchtime after the rehearsal, waiting for the actual show to begin:
And when it came to the actual show...wow what a crazy experience. Brittney and I had awesome seats, so we were able to high-five and cheer on the award winners and presenters as they went on and off stage. My left hand had the lovely pleasure of interacting with Ellen DeGeneres, Taylor Swift, Ian Somerhalder, Josh Hutcherson, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Aniston...and the list goes on. And it's not every day when you get to see Heidi Klum race a monkey on segways...Let's just say it was definitely a night to remember.
We were so pumped when we got back to the hotel that we even made another vlog...enjoy haha
And here is some of the confetti straight from the Nokia Theatre - a remnant of my amazing People's Choice Awards experience:
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed taking a glimpse into my trip to LA and being a part of the PCAs!
