Chevy Chase: The Photo Series

I know I shared one photo with you from the Camry Live launch at Paramount Studios when Chevy Chase crashed the set, but I am going to post the entire series now.  One of the attendees from the event, Eric, sent me a whole series of photos last night.  His dad is an automotive journalist and he got to come along for the ride for our big Camry event.  Nice dad, right?  The photos are too hilarious not to throw out there.  It shows you how spontaneous the visit was and how shocked we looked at certain points.  I'm off to Northern California for another Live Connect shoot this week and while I am looking forward it, I doubt it will have the glitz and the glam of the Paramount shoot.  Like they say, "Only in Hollywood, kids, only in Hollywood."  A big thanks to Eric for the photos!

 I'm so shy!

 I look very bossy in this photo....oh wait, I am kind of bossy.  ;)

Chevy Chase Crashes The Set!

As you read this, I will be soaring high over the friendly skies to Paris. I will be checking in from time to time with a post and a picture or two.  You can always follow me here on Twitter or Facebook for further updates.

In the meantime, take a look at who stopped by my shoot at Paramount Studios:  Uh......Chevy Chase!  He films Community on the lot (I also saw a few of the Glee kids too.) and he completely crashed our set about 5 minutes before we went LIVE with the launch of the new 2012 Toyota Camry for Live Connect.  I so wish he stayed when we began the show, but alas, he had a tour group to photo bomb next.  It was hilarious and a pretty cool moment with a comedy legend.

Yes, he's real and not a wax figurine from Madame Tussaud's.  

Chicago to LA and back........

Life couldn't be any more hectic right now.  I am in the midst of hosting Toyota Live at the Chicago Auto Show all while having to fly back to LA for 36 hours to host Live Connect for Toyota and their new Entune launch.  To add to the excitement, I had a bit of Oscar dress drama since Inside Edition scooped up two of my planned outfits for their hosts.  Remember I talked about that red carpet hierarchy?  Oh yeah, it exists and I experienced it. Everything was ironed out though and I appreciate all of the dresses that have been loaned to me for Oscar events.  So, I am off to set for the Live Connect show and then back to the airport to finish my gig in Chicago, but of course, home in time for Oscars Week on Monday. Phew!

Many thanks to Web Series Network for the feature on Mingle Media Network and our red carpet coverage.  I like the photo they chose because I look like a bad ass and it is from our last awards show outing, Emmys Week!
