So I am grateful to be from Chicago and repping the city. That’s a universal thing across the city. Chicago, if they see you doing your thing, they’re pulling out their stops to support you. And it’s been so cool to see support from the city. I can’t stress enough how much this was a bucket list experience. So I would rather be on a show like “Supermarket Sweep” than something like “Wipeout,” where you’re just getting KO’d on national television. There are game shows where it’s based on your intelligence and there are game shows based on humiliation and I feel like “Supermarket Sweep,” they want to see how smart you are and can you follow the directions that Leslie gives you.
Q: Nobody said that standard reality show line, “I’m not here to make friends”?Ī: That was me! I walked in and I was like, “I’m here for a mission and we’re here to show how it’s done.” That was me just trying to psych people out with my very Chicago energy in the building. All of the other competitors were super nice and there was nobody I wanted to fight. And I say that because it’s so easy to focus on what won’t work or what doesn’t look good or what’s really going on behind the scenes. It’s true, when you’ve seen how the sausage is made, you can be a little jaded and cynical, but for me, this experience killed my cynicism.
SUPERMARKET SWEEP FULL
I know the original “Supermarket Sweep” was in a grocery store and it turns out this one is in an airplane hangar in Santa Monica, where they’ve replicated a full supermarket.īut you know me, my writer brain was on “10″ because I was just thinking about broader things about shows like this. Q: You walked into this with an interesting background, both as a journalist who has seen how the entertainment sausage is made, but also someone who has been writing about the business of culture.Ī: Going in, I wanted to see how the production looked, I wanted to see the back end, I wanted to see how they set it up. Because you don’t know - how many times have you done an interview or you talked to someone and you had high hopes going in and they turned out to be a jerk? The fact that it was the exact opposite and I could continue to celebrate and adore Leslie Jones made me happy. It was just sensory overload for me, just being like: Oh my God, I’m here! And I have the cart! And I’m wearing the sweatshirt! And I’m here with Leslie Jones, oh my God!Īnd let me say off the top, I have met a lot of famous people in my life and Leslie Jones is one of the nicest celebrities I’ve ever met. I’m not kidding when I say that, I genuinely blacked out. I remember starting the Super Sweep and I remember ending the Super Sweep - I don’t remember anything that happened in between. What was crazy for me was this feeling of, “Oh my God, this is real!” But during the big sweep, I blacked out. Q: Talk about the experience of being on the show itself.Ī: I’m not going to lie to you, and I’m not going to sound cool, but when you get an opportunity to do something like this, you have to take it.
