Hey, it's Christine from Storyworthy.

Did you ever wonder about how red carpet events and publicity work?

Today on Storyworthy, comedian Jennifer Valley talks about her experience as an arm.

Now I was what was called the arm.

I was not on camera.

I was just the arm you would see holding the mic flag,

and then they would cut the piece around whatever the celebrity said.

The network will give you questions, like,

we're going to cut a piece on fashion,

so why don't you ask me questions about fashion?

And then I get into the Olson twins, Mary Kate and Ashley, and they're sitting there, you know, their dough eyes and they're like kind of slumpy shoulders. And they're looking a little tired because they've probably done already 50 interviews. And I'm trying to think, what am I going to ask and that's going to perk these girls up? Today on Storyworthy, we get a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to work on a press

junket and hang out with the Olson twins. Stay close.

Hey, it's Jennifer Valley here, and you're listening to my favorite podcast, Storyloven. Welcome to story.

Welcome to Storyworthy. My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm coming to you from Los Angeles, California.

I'm so glad you guys tuned in today, whether you're a longtime fan of the show or a new listener, welcome to Storyworthy. Now, I hope you guys enjoyed the story last week with comedian and actor John Gabris. Jennifer, by any chance, did you hear John's story? I have not heard it yet. I haven't ready to go. I listen to every story, but I haven't heard his yet. You're a liar. I do. I actually do. You's so sweet. Hey, listen, John Gabris is one of the funniest guys, literally I've ever met, and he talks about overconsumption and sandwiches. A lot about sandwiches and growing up, and I'm telling you, it's super, super funny. So definitely go back and listen to John Gabris' episode of Storyworthy, but not today because today I'm here with longtime friend of the show, Jennifer Valley.

Yay, Jennifer Valley's here.

I am so happy you're back, Jennifer.

You do hold the record for the most appearances on story.

Ooh, I do.

This is my sixth maybe?

I think this is your sixth. And you know what? Because you know how to tell a story. Oh, thank you. You really do. You're really, you're really, listen, I'm setting you up. And if you fail now, it's going to be bad. It's like when you hear comedians, like if the host builds up the comedian, like, this guy is so funny.

You guys are in for a real treat. He's the funniest guy. Doomed. Yeah, because then they walk on stage and there's this expectation. Yes, exactly. They're going to hold that same energy. Is that why you don't want to see Black Panther? It's because there's so much expectations. It's going to be so good. I'd rather just listen to the soundtrack. I don't need to see the movie. Jennifer is calling me out on not seeing the Black Panther. And I don't even think it's really made for me. Is it made for me? I'm not a big fan of any superhero movie. I know. Me neither. It's not my thing.
