I originally launched Khanversations.com as a blog in 2009. Basically, it was a way for me to save myself from running out of breath… (my friends kept asking me to retell the celebrity encounters I had while working for the TV Guide Network, and well, it was easier to write it once and have them read it, than repeat for 50 different people.)
The blog was a great outlet to discover my comedic, conversational writing style and eventually, I opted to stop writing about funny celebrity encounters and instead use it more as an outlet to write creatively.
How I Met Your Mother. April 2, 2009. OK so I’ve been keeping this a secret for over a month now, but after last night’s “How I Met Your Mother” episode and the revelation that Stella (Sarah Chalke’s character) is back… I can FINALLY share my “Khanversation Piece” about my early April visit to the …
…She has LG foot the bill. At least that was the case on Tuesday April 28th… as LG and Heidi teamed up to launch their Klum-backed “Rumor 2” cell phone. I covered the party for TV Guide…held at the Andaz Hotel on Sunset. The last time I was there for a party, there were Ed …
For those that don’t follow my every Facebook move… I created an “extended” outtake version of the Chester French piece I did for TV Guide. [vodpod id=Groupvideo.2452491&w=425&h=350&fv=] more about “untitled“, posted with vodpod
So I didn’t really publicly talk about it for fear it wouldn’t happen, but thankfully my fears have been alleviated. So now I can “eeek.” Eeeeeek! I was part the of studio audience during Justin Timberlake’s Jimmy Kimmel taping this evening. It was… magical? I don’t get starstruck. I mean in my industry, you really …
Remember this post? Here’s what aired on Monday. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vh8wSnOzn0&feature=channel_page]
Flight to Vegas? $285. Hotel stay at MGM? $184. Enjoying Sin City on the company’s dime and ending up at the Capitol Records party — oblivious to the fact that Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are there? Priceless. April 5th was the Sunday of birthday weekend, and I spent it…working. Granted, you really can’t complain …
John Mayer’s Cruise Ship. March 26th, 2009. Yes…a press event…on a boat. John Mayer was kicking off his 4-day concert-cruise with fans, but before that, he teamed up with VH1’s Save the Music Foundation for a celeb-filled event. OK, it wasn’t entirely celeb-filled, but John Mayer was there, and well, that’s a big enough name …
I have like 4-5 other “Khanversation Piece”-worthy stories, but this one can’t wait. OK so, as most of you already know (because of a certain facebook picture/status/tweet,) I met Kobe Bryant yesterday. More specifically, Alecia and I did set visit to a production stage in LA, where Kobe Bryant was taping a segment for Sesame …
Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Jon Favreau, Andy Samberg. Need I say more? “I Love You, Man” is funny. Seriously. Alecia and I saw the flick after we had covered the premiere just a few days earlier, and could not stop laughing. Granted, could’ve gone without seeing the projectile vomiting and graphic billboards, but I suppose …
…If you don’t already. Their name? Chester French. I was introduced to the band a few years ago, thanks to one of my high school favorites, Chuka Ugwu-Oju. Max Drummey, half of the Chester French duo, is Chuka’s friend. It was actually Max who kept me entertained while I was out in Massachusetts interviewing for …
