I’M A TELLY AWARD WINNER!

I’M OFFICIALLY AN AWARD WINNER!

Well, I’m officially an official award winner. I’ve got plenty of participation trophies – that don’t have my name on it, because they don’t do that for participation trophies – but now I have a legit trophy!

Vacation Creation won a Telly Award in the travel and tourism category!

Now, you might be asking – what? What’s a Telly Award?  The Telly Awards is the premier award honoring the best in video and TV across all screens, receiving more than 13,000 entries annually from 5 continents. And boo yah! We won. And I’m so proud. Our team put in a ton of long hours, a lot of heart, and maybe 3.5 million gallons of sweat into the first season of Vacation Creation, so it feels great to have it recognized and rewarded.

As a gracious winner, I will say congratulations to all the winners and thank YOU to all who who have been watching!  The best news is to come- Vacation Creation will be back– and this time airing on ABC! So make sure you keep your Saturday morning open to watch on ABC starting October 7, 2017.

Now I just need to build a mantle to put this award on… Anyone know a good carpenter? 😉

Avengers: Age of Ultron World Premiere

Today is the premiere of Avengers: Age of Ultron a.k.a. the movie I’ve been geeking about for three years now. In honor of this glorious event, I wanted to take a minute to share how wonderful and surreal it’s been to be part of the Marvel Family. For two years now, I’ve been hosting Marvel’s Live Red Carpet Show for all their world premieres.

For Thor: The Dark World, I co-hosted alongside Tamara Krinsky and E!’s Ben Lyons. This was my first time as part of the Disney/Marvel Universe, and man it felt good! Not only was I correspondent on the red carpet, I also MC’d a few events at the El Capitan theater afterwards with Stan Lee and Jamie Alexander.

For Captain America: The Winter Soldier, it was just the two of us girls. I worked that red carpet for Cap, presenting from the heart of the television interview area, to the arrivals, and introducing the entire cast in a firework finish at the end of the carpet.

Last summer, which seems like just yesterday, I donned my favorite Jetsons-inspired outfit (and my only Jetsons-inspired outfit) for The Guardians of The Galaxy premiere. This was an especially incredible event as the premiere was held across the street from the usual El Capitan location to The Dolby Theater. You may have heard of this theater, I don’t know, maybe because of a little show called the Oscars? So, being on that stage, introducing the cast of Guardians of The Galaxy, and pretending I was Ellen was pretty much as good as the real thing as far as I’m concerned.

So, in honor of all the joy is this Universe has brought me, here are some of my favorite Marvel moments.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier World Premiere

Cap is Back!! And Better Than Ever!!

I first heard whispers about the greatness of Captain America: The Winter Soldier when I was covering the Thor: The Dark World premiere for Marvel. At that time, only the elevator scene had been released, and, wow, was that great foreshadowing for what was to come.

This movie is absolutely incredible. It’s a 70’s spy thriller meets Marvel cinematic craziness. The utilization of handheld camera movements, mixed martial arts fight scenes, and a modern-day plot keeps this movie “grounded,” but it still has all the wit, larger-than-life characters, and over-the-top special effects that we’ve come to expect from Marvel movies. To put it simply, I’m seriously contemplating whether this is my favorite Marvel movie- yes, even above Avengers and Iron Man.

It was such a pleasure to be working the red carpet again for Marvel. The red carpet live coverage for the Captain America: The Winter Soldier world premiere was streamed on Marvel.com, Yahoo!, Zing Revolution, and on the El Capitan Theater billboard.
