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.
Greg Finley. Six feet tall, New England-born, basketball-loving, Hanes wearing (yes I saw them), Simply Orange-drinking actor most known for his role on “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.” As for his secret life? Well… I hung out with him for a few hours as he posed for the Fall 2010 Michael Wright Collection, …
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M3MD6Nf8dM] Raisins. The Bulldogs. An infamous Anne Heche discovery. And part of the “Parenthood” storyline. Yes, these are all things related to my hometown of Fresno… a city that I love. Heck, I’ll rep it til I die (see proof). I refuse to change my cell phone area code, and still use my Fresno address …
Soulja Boy likes swag. Like…a lot. The last time we chatted, we talked about his song “Turn My Swag On.” At the time, I didn’t really know what swag was, or well, if I had it. Fast forward 13 months to June 2010 and well…he still has swag. In fact, he has “Pretty Boy Swag,” …
Who: Samia Khan, Anand Murthy, and Top Chef Masters star Rick Bayless. What: Dining together at a new restaurant (sort of.) Where: At Bayless’ new restaurant, “Red O” on Melrose in Los Angeles. When: A few Fridays ago, 10pm. Why: Because we were hungry. Alright here’s the deal. We didn’t ACTUALLY eat with Bayless. But …
A comic, a journalist, a professional basketball player, and a “Housewife” all walk into a comedy club…. The journalist says to the comic, “I love the Spurs! I have to talk to Tony.” The comic says to the journalist, “OK, go take a picture.” The housewife says to the comic taking a photo with the …
Hey guys! Over the next week I’ll be blogging at http://www.WorldCupKhantest.com. I was selected as one of 10 finalists, all competing via blog to be Sony’s go-to-blogger for the FIFA World Cup in South Africa this July! Eeeek. Please visit the site, read the posts, and comment if you’d like. I really appreciate it 🙂
When I was four years old, Hulk Hogan scared me.
When I was twenty-four years old, I told him this.
Now, telling a professional wrestler that he’s scary is one of two things.
When I say “Topanga,” what does it mean to you? If you’re old and into ‘suburban life’ and live in LA, you’re probably thinking of the mall right off the 101 freeway. However if you’re young and cool and hip and watched TGIF (like me), you obviously thought of Cory Matthews love interest on the …
I have a confession to make. I… um. Uh. I. I don’t really watch much TV. *gasp* Yes, I know some of you may be thinking, “WTF?! She worked at TV Guide Network for two years, how the heck does she NOT watch TV! Doesn’t her job require her to be on TV??” The answer …
This just in: Brian Williams is a huge fan of obituaries, owns two American cars, and thinks Jon Stewart is a necessary branch of government. Good evening, I’m Samia Khan. (The lead of my hypothetical newscast after my run-in with Brian Williams.) Alright enough of the daydreaming. Let’s talk business. My business. News business. I …
