GTB @ MTV Movie Awards 2002

The Fox show was on the air and faltering in the ratings a bit, but MTV really liked Greg and my press appearances on TRL with Carson Daly went well, so they asked me to host the red carpet for the Movie Awards. So here I sat, sweating profusely in a pink, wooden box in the blazing sun, with a hole in the top for my arm, and three, quarter-sized breathing holes at eye level. Which meant, that any actress who walked up to the box was putting their exposed midriff an inch from my face. Surreal. DMX was the nicest guy in the world. To this day, I often say, "That's what's up" and think of him. I'm amazed we got to talk with Nicole Kidman, and for the most part people loved coming up to the camera to meet Greg, which of course is what MTV really loved - because at these red carpet events every single media outlet wants the celebrities to speak to their cameras, and many get dissed. So having a puppet was a good way to draw some attention. I love that we got to meet Nicole Kidman, Katie Holmes, Hilary Swank, etc. Again, just surreal, knowing they all basically kissed my hand. What a weird year this was.
