I had a similar experience about 14 years ago with Huell. I went down to the Music Center on Christmas Eve of 1997 where they were giving a free concert, and Huell was there shooting with Luis Fuerte, and he allowed me to interview him with my HandiCam, and gave me permission to use it. He even introduced himself as part of an I.D. bumper for my old show "Whipping Around L.A.!"
If anyone doesn't know about Huell you need to pack up all your belonging's, move to Los Angeles JUST so you can watch him do his thing. Huelll has an incredible childlike enthusiasm for EVERYTHING. You watch Huell and it's like taking a nice warm bath on a cold day. He's just a big hunk of happiness.
Again, this was awesome. I've met him twice and he's exactly like he is on camera. And you did a great job buddy.
What an absolute gentlemen he is, I think he started to get to the point of I need to get my stuff filmed, but to take that few minutes out after is absolute coolness.
I remember that episode!! Really cool seeing it from the other side finally.
I love that Huell never got upset or said anything like, "You're interrupting our shoot. Get out of here!" like you'd expect any news reporter would say. He incorporated you into it and that's REALLY cool.
Cool video, I ran into Huell as well at the San Diego Wild Animal Park back in 2003. Like this guy I walked up to him and introduced myself with my camera running. Quite a memory.
Way to be optimistic...what are they gonna do? gangbang on the grass? All of Los Angeles is not gang infested. This park has been open for awhile and all I see are joggers and dog walkers. Angelino: past,present and future.
Huell is this guy's idol in TV? No wonder Americans are getting dumber by the minute. "Unbelievable" is the last word I would use to describe an encounter with a Village Idiot like Howser.
Jacob - I loved the Heull piece. He is a favorite of mine and has been for years, so your insider scoop was meaningful. Kudos to you. And great that HH was so dignified with you.
He is sooo damn cool. One of the few things I miss about living in LA and moving to Phoenix is there is no Huell here, it would be nice if he came to AZ and did a short series on his next door neighbors Arizona.
Wouldn't be a bad idea.He's been to Australia and San Ignacio Lagoon.He did a few shows from Arizona,but from Yuma and a big swap meet specializing in rocks and dijareedoos.Both were right next to the California borer,though.
Huell shows what a consumate pro he really is, not flustered by your appearance, welcoming you, still chatting with his interviewee. You came off quite well, too. Good luck with your broadcast future. Huell rocks!
Too many see him "playing the idiot tourist",which is part of his show,and think that's all there is to him.This is just another fine example of the class act he really is.
You are VERY lucky to have met Huell in person. I'd love to meet him in person! BTW, I saw in on that episode as well and your footage here is fantastic! Wow, I envy you!
What a nice guy...I thought he'd be pissed you just walked into his shot like that. I guess he's not worried about competition if he's on public television.
LOL Awesome. I saw this episode of Visiting on PBS the other night as well... so i came on here to see if you posted this on youtube like you said you would LOL. Cool stuff. Huell rules.
that's awesome - I'd like to fall in to the same scenario haha.
