  • Julie Chen Moonves chats with ET about the early days of 'Big Brother,' including the famous face who was first approached to host the reality TV phenomenon. The former CBS News anchor reflects on the show's enduring popularity for 25 seasons, from the access to 24-hour video feeds to the fascination with mundane details about how the houseguests cohabitate under one roof. Season 25 of 'Big Brother' premieres Aug. 2 on CBS. ET's special, 'Big Brother: 25th Anniversary Celebration,' airs July 26 on CBS.

    I expected this "interview" to be a complete waste of time, but I wanted to know who the other choice for host was. After watching this interview, it was actually insightful learning about what she talked about. There was a lot of stuff I didn't know as a Big Brother fan.

    This actually happens a lot in showbiz. Lots of the producer's "first picks" never are cast and they're given to alternates. But many times these alternates make the show great, possibly better than the top choice. I used to watch Dynasty(1980s), and never knew all the roles of the central characters weren't the producers first picks,

    Besides the upcoming 25th season, do you think this interview also doubled a response to the controversy of BBCAN’s “Digital Dailies” instead of “Live Feeds”, basically saying, without saying, that the live feeds are here stay in the US?

    • @yrj8648
      @yrj8648 Месяц назад

      it is a matter of what show went first, in most countries, Big Brother went on air first and it shaped their idea of what reality TV should be. However, the opposite was the case in the US with Survivor being the first to get on air, so Survivor dictated what "reality TV" should be, and the American Big Brother unfortunately had to succumb to what Survivor laid out. That's why Big Brother US is such a different format to the rest of the Big Brother franchises worldwide.

    I actually stopped watching Big Brother BECAUSE of Julie Chen. Every season she just got worse and worse. Just loves to hear HERSELF talk. Won't give the players 30 seconds when they need it, but will "recap" the same exact thing multiple times - to hear herself talk. And when you make the same joke like 4 times...have to point out that you are kidding each time...and STILL nobody laughs? Obviously you're not funny, and not very good at reading a room. I recently found out there is a Big Brother: Canada with a different host - and she is sooooo much better!!!
