About
In April 2009, Pollak began a weekly internet talk show, Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show. Guest for the show include film directors Kevin Smith and Mike Binder, actors Nia Vardalos, Illeana Douglas, Adam Carolla, Dana Carvey, Mathew Perry, Jon Hamm and Jason Lee. A full list of guests can be found in the Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show article.
The guest interviews are very in-depth and typically longer than an hour in duration, often exceeding two hours. Common topics include the guests’ childhoods, how they got into the business they are in (typically show business), how they got inspired to start certain creative endeavors, and unique experiences they have had while working. Viewers can interact via chat room during the show, and sometimes questions for the guest posed in the chat room are answered live.
The show’s self-described “Paul Schaffer” is actor Samm Levine.
Recurring segments on the show include:
- “The Larry King Game,” which requires the guest to do a bad Larry King impression, reveal something about oneself (in the persona of Larry King) and then go to the phones and say a funny sounding city
- “Tweet Five,” where Kevin reads the guest five questions from a Twitter user, usually in a this-or-that style.
- “Oprah, Paris, or Demi,” in which a host (typically Samm Levine) reads tweets from the Twitter accounts of three female celebrities (the list of actresses varies, but typically includes Demi Moore, Oprah Winfrey, and Paris Hilton) and Kevin Pollak and his Guest compete against each other gameshow-style to guess who authored each tweet.
The Kevin Pollak Chat Show airs LIVE Sundays at 3pm PST/ 6pm EST.
