On a scale of one to 10, what is your stress level like during a show?
"I would say between a six and eight depending on the segment. It’s less stressful to have guests on that have already been on WCL versus new guests. You know how they’re going to gel with the hosts, and they’re back on the show because they did a good job the first time. Fashion shows are always a little more stressful because there are so many elements that go into the segment."
"Regardless, I always get a little bit of an adrenaline rush during any of my segments. You work so hard to put together great pieces so you always want things to run smoothly. Our hosts Val and Ryan take a lot of stress out of it. They’re fabulous at what they do and can handle any situation that might arise on-air."
