Young House Love » Blogging » YHL On Live TV- Eeks!

YHL On Live TV- Eeks!

Tomorrow morning (Thursday, July 30) we’re going to be on live TV! And we’re simultaneously excited and terrified. Virginia This Morning on CBS6 is central Virginia’s only live local talk show and they’ve asked us to stop by and chat about our adventures in home improvement. Talk about a nail biter! But we’re super excited to swing through and hopefully string together a few coherent sentences for about five minutes sometime during their 9-10am show.

good morning virginia live show CBS6 friday

So cross your fingers that we leave without saying anything too dorky or nonsensical. And feel free to tune in if you’re local (or check back for a clip of our little stint as soon as we get our mitts on it). Here’s hoping we live to tell the tale…

And speaking of crazy news, check out this mention of us in today’s New York Times! We’re still pinching ourselves.

    I had to do that for work last year and I know the feeling of excitement/nervousness. Just remember to keep smiling the whole time! And wear heavier-than-usual make-up.

    Hey Youngsters, my hairdresser does spots for Virginia This Morning and if memory serves me right I believe they post the videos pretty soon after they air (same day). Good luck tomorrow! The two hosts seem very engaging so I predict hardly any weirdness or awkward pauses :)

      Hey Alexandra,

      We noticed that too! We were actually interviewed by the Associated Press who then shared the story with a few publications. Who knows where we’ll pop up next! Playboy?

    Can’t wait to see the clip. And congrats on all the recognition you’ve been getting.

    Who knows? “Young House Love” could become the next “This [Blank] House” (or even another Martha……!) I wonder if this isn’t the start of something great, and soon all your “old” readers will be able to say we knew you when. ;-)

    Am I dreaming too big for y’all?

    Hey guys, break a leg :-D You will be great on TV. You are both so entertaining in your videos. Maybe someday you’ll have your own show on HGTV :) or maybe not, are they the ones with the evil show that we don’t like anymore? hmmm…

    Anyway, can’t wait to see the video clip, you will be awesome.

      Aw you guys are so sweet. We’re definitely planning to imagine the audience in their underwear. And maybe the hosts too if we get scared! We’ve heard great things about their team and they’ve been really great to work with so far so we’re hoping that we get through it unscathed! Stay tuned for that clip coming soon…

      p.s. We’re still sad that Burger can’t work the crowd for us this time…

    Congrats! That’s awesome that you are getting so much publicity – good luck! If you ever do get your own HGTV show you need to demand that the full episodes be posted online! I don’t own a TV, and I would be so sad if I only got the little 30 1-2 minute clips they post for other shows. :(
