5.0 out of 5 stars Kevin Pollak's Chat Show - Paget Brewster October 16, 2012
I loved this show. It gave an in-depth interview into Paget Brewster that isn't available through the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" 5-minute type appearance. It was unscripted and allowed the viewer a chance to see the personality of both Miss Brewster and her host Kevin Pollak. They discussed a wide range of topics and it was so obviously "live," the viewer had a sense of being there. Their presence was so real, it allowed the viewer to feel present as well. The only thing I'm unhappy about, is that I wanted it downloaded to my computer instead of my Kindle Fire.
