Summary

This week, Jason is joined by good friend, Bachelor Nation Hall of Famer, former host of ABC’s The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and all the franchise spinoffs over a 20 year span, the one and only Chris Harrison!

Chris spent 20 years becoming the face of one of reality TV’s top franchises and establishing himself as one of the top hosts in all of television. His host resume is extensive outside the Bachelor Franchise as he has hosted “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” and the Miss America pageant, and of course, carpet coverage at the Emmys just to name a few. He is also the author of The Perfect Letter. In recent years, after a highly publicized departure from his host title of The Bachelor shows, Chris has looked to embark on other career endeavors. In and out of the media space, he is now hosting one of iHeart’s top podcasts, “The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever.”

Chris gives insight to how playing soccer ended up kicking off his career in hosting, how he made more coaching soccer when he first started working the weekend morning show on a top 50 market, how he worked his way up KWTV, why he passed up his dream job for a job in LA, how his newcasting experience helped him land a movie role, and how he kept his eye out for new opportunities. Chris also reveals how he was able to balance the horse racing job and hosting on HGTV, the difference between game show host compared to other hosting jobs, how doing a favor landed him the Bachelor hosting job, and always trusting his gut.What was the funniest business moment of his life? What was his dream job? Was it a risk to take the unscripted reality dating TV show?

Chris reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
