The Taking of Pelham 123

Here are two pictures of Denzel Washington after we interviewed him at The Taking of Pelham 123 movie premiere. He was ready to get to the Lakers game so he was the first celebrity down the red carpet. John Travolta did not come, so after we got Denzel, we left. He was all we needed for our 10 p.m. sound bite on the premiere coverage. Usually the bigger celebrities come last down the carpet and we interview all the other "smaller" celebrities in the movie first. We typically never use them in our show, but we like to say yes to every interview just in case they say something buzz-worthy we can use. It's also nice to say yes to every publicist that asks us if we want an interview with their client so people remember us as a nice group. We don't want to rub someone the wrong way, and then when we want to interview them later, they refuse to give us the time of day. I'm learning a lot about media coverage. I'm so lucky to have such a valuable hands-on learning expereince this summer!
