The thrill never grows old. Julie Chen recently talked to Larry King, host of Larry King Now on Hulu and Ora TV, about her nickname, The Chenbot, which we coined back in the TVgasm days. In the clip above, Julie references the infamous “but first” video that yours truly made in 2006 — one of the very first “supercuts” in the YouTube era. I’m not going to lie: I totally cheese out in the interview when Julie alludes to “this person” (because “this person” is MEEEEEEEEE).
Anyway, we love The Chenbot, and while I’m sorry that she took offense to the nickname at first, I hope she sees it came from a place of love and joy. And, if I may be so bold to assert this, by embracing The Chenbot persona, one might even say that Julie herself became MORE HUMAN.
BOOM.
Hi Julie!!!!!!
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
But first….!
Okay, that’s pretty freakin’ awesome on so many levels.
The next time you go to a taping, you MUST go forth and let the handlers know who you are. Mark my words, she’ll be thrilled to meet YOU.
Your first Chenbot video is what got me started reading your blog. Haven’t missed a day since!
Sweet! ‘This person’ is a public personna! I can say I ‘knew’ you when. 😉
You being “this person” … that’s hot.
