Transcript of Kevin in Regis and Kelly

(DLS)-This morning Kevin was co-hosting the tv program Regis & Kelly, wearing a black stripe suit with a pale blue shirt, while Regis is on vacation. It was a weird coincidence because about 12 years ago, Kevin was working as Aladdin for Disney, and Regis came to host the Xmas Parade, and they got to shake hands, and now Kevin is replacing him. Who would have guess that 12 years ago?

At the beginning of the show, Kelly asked him a few questions:

-Now, you're doing Chicago on Broadway, how long did you rehearse for it?
Kevin: "I rehearsed for only 2 1/2 weeks, so I learned the words at home before. I also went to watch the show a couple of times, and watch the movie which was really great, especially the tango. That was my favorite part. It's very sexy."

-Are the other BSB members jealous of your individual success?
Kevin: "They are very happy for me. I couldn't pass this up, it's a great opportunity. We left each other some room for that kind of stuff."

-We're having Vince Neil from Motley Crue on the show today because is on the new program "Surreal Life". Do you watch that show?
Kevin: "Yes I did watch it."
-Did you watch the other reality shows so far?
Kevin: "I watched American Idol 2 yesterday night, and it looks interesting this year. It looks like they didn't have pre-selection at all before. They had very colorful people on there.

-You know how hard the music industry is, right?
Kevin: "You have to be talented, have good work ethics, and some luck."

-How did you get to meet the other BSB boys?
Kevin: "My wife's roommate had a boyfriend who was also the limo driver for the boys who first were in the group and their manager, so that's how I got to meet them.

-How did you meet your wife?
Kevin: "I was working as Aladdin for Disney, and I went to see the show Beauty & the Beast. Kristin was playing "Belle" in that show, and when I saw her dancing, I asked her out. That was 11 years ago!

-Is this one of the first tv program you did as BSB?
Kevin: "As a matter of a fact, the Regis & Kelly show (Regis & Kathy Lee back then) was the 1st show giving us a break in the US."

-What was your first music gig ever?
Kevin: "I played the piano and sang in a restaurant called: Ceader Village. My whole family is very musical, playing instruments or singing."

-We have a baby contest on the show, are you thinking of having kids, one day?
Kevin: "I am definitely thinking about having kids!"

Then, it was time for the trivia part of the show, and Kevin was having fun saying the Spanish name of the trip over and over. The contestant was Canadian, and when she talked about the weather being -20 degrees Celsius, Kevin and Kelly had no idea what it equaled in Farenheits.

One of the guest on this morning's show was Barney.
Kevin: "He's my nephew's favorite."
When Barney started to sing "If you're happy and you know it", Kevin went to reach out to the kids to bring them closer to Barney, and he participated by clapping his hands along with the song.

There was also a Super bowl cooking segment, and Kevin was wearing a football jersey. The chef was cooking shrimps, and Kevin asked: "What can I do?"
Kelly answered: "Just stand there, and be sexy", so Kevin stood in a sexy pose, laughing.

The chef asked them if they were football fans, and Kevin answered: "My buddy from BSB, Nick, comes from Tampa Bay, so he's trilled that a team from Tampa made it to the Super bowl.

At the end of the show, Kelly reminded the viewers to go see Kevin in Chicago, and then Kevin didn't hesitate one second to dig in to taste the food. Yes, he does like shellfish.

If you had missed to show, I hope this satisfies your curiosity. Enjoy!
