Chris Harrison Pt 1: The secrets to building his hosting empire revealed! From HGTV to The Bachelor

This week, Jason is joined by good friend, Bachelor Nation Hall of Famer, former host of ABC’s The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and all the franchise spinoffs over a 20 year span, the one and only Chris Harrison!
Chris spent 20 years becoming the face of one of reality TV’s top franchises and establishing himself as one of the top hosts in all of television. His host resume is extensive outside the Bachelor Franchise as he has hosted “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” and the Miss America pageant, and of course, carpet coverage at the Emmys just to name a few. He is also the author of The Perfect Letter. In recent years, after a highly publicized departure from his host title of The Bachelor shows, Chris has looked to embark on other career endeavors. In and out of the media space, he is now hosting one of iHeart’s top podcasts, “The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever.”
Chris gives insight to how playing soccer ended up kicking off his career in hosting, how he made more coaching soccer when he first started working the weekend morning show on a top 50 market, how he worked his way up KWTV, why he passed up his dream job for a job in LA, how his newcasting experience helped him land a movie role, and how he kept his eye out for new opportunities. Chris also reveals how he was able to balance the horse racing job and hosting on HGTV, the difference between game show host compared to other hosting jobs, how doing a favor landed him the Bachelor hosting job, and always trusting his gut.What was the funniest business moment of his life? What was his dream job? Was it a risk to take the unscripted reality dating TV show?
Chris reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

It's so good to know more about @Chris Harrison's life. Great interview 👍🏼

[@Snippets-of-Mendi]

Yay! I remember Chris from his HGTV days and caught onto Bachelor in the middle of the first season so I've been a long-time fan. On a side note Jason, your visit on Chris's podcast was one of the most touching conversations I have listened to in a long time. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing it with us. Sending love to you both.

The desperation line is brilliant!

[@skylarkblue4853]

Great interview.

[@ashleyandallan]

This is awesome, thanks for this Jason- someone needs to interview you to share YOUR trading secrets!!!

[@OctoberGirl16]

I remember Chris when he was on HGTV!!! He has always been terrific.

[@sissysix6966]

Love Chris Harrison but one tiny thing.. Remember to let the interviewer do their thing. Dont take over. Jason is a great interviewer. Slow it down just a bit. Still love you man!! 😘

[@CultureGirl77]

What happened at the end? It just cut off mid-sentence!

[@natashaveronin2929]

There's a part 2

[@desireehammond5336]

@gameofroses needs to watch this

[@debraarcher4285]

Chris should still bee the host. The reason he was leet go is so ridiculous. CANCEL CULTURE needs to STOP. Glad Chris is doing well.

[@subakcir]

Wish you were both on the same camera together without a black line between you. You are looking at each other but there is a distracting division line between you.

[@Appu3]

Wish Chris let Jason talk more. Was looking forward to this episode and did want to hear from Chris, but Chris was talking way too much and it became boring

[@wakanda6754]

Chris Harrison can never shut up, it's always about him and how many so called fake bachelor friends that love him...gag barf gag

[@elviarestrepo340]

It's the interviewer responsibility to ask the questions, just saying... Chris is just giving a complete answer 😂

[@DonWav94]

Authenticity.... But all you talk about is money

[@DonWav94]

Alfonzo (dont ever fake my face or sound)

[@DonWav94]

Isn't that the connect? Setting people up for drug charges and also they using Dave Couliers voice. Also saying legal parasite quotes to Joyce Read: Using my families faces to traffic with Tana (Coi) and WGN
