#863. Kaitlyn sits down with THE Chris Harrison — host of The Bachelor franchise for 20 years — not just for this 10-year reunion finale, but to catch up on where he’s at today. From the infamous “shut your whore legs” moment to his candid admission that producers wanted Kaitlyn to have sex on the show, Chris shares what it was really like being the voice of the show.
He opens up about his life before the franchise, how the early seasons created true reality TV superstars, and what he misses most about being part of it all. Plus: iconic memories, never-before-heard behind-the-scenes stories, and one ridiculous travel tale that proves how much he really loves Kaitlyn.
It’s full-circle. It’s unfiltered. It’s the Chris Harrison you’ve been waiting to hear from. Listen now — this reunion finale is one for the books!

I usually do some sort of intro, but all I need to say is the man, the myth, the legend, Chris Harrison, everybody. Can't wait to find out what we're talking about. Well, I'm not going to lie, Ben Higgins sat right where you were sitting. I thought I felt he, he can feel his bum, can't you? |
