James Denton talked to ESPN on Monday, and answered a bunch of funny and not-so-funny questions from viewers about “Desperate Housewives,” his band, sports and Christmas gifts.
It was a good change of pace, even though what I assume are all men asking the questions didn’t ask what I would’ve asked.
Some excerpts…
Joe in LA asks: “Hi James, give us male sports fans your best pitch to why we should watch Desperate Housewives.”
James responds: “Hot chicks.”
Succinct and well-said, Mr. Denton!
Let’s see what Hayden in Logan, Utah has to say: “do the producers ever try to push you into publicity stunts to get some buzz going?”
James’ response: “They like us to do press, but nothing too stunty. The women do most of the publicity, because, let’s be honest, it’s their show. Luckily, I’ve never been asked to do anything crazy. The women do enough of that.”
And Dave in Boston asks, “James, you act in your show with a lot of women, so how does it feel to be doing a chat on a sports website today, being viewed, most likely by a bunch of men?”
James responds: “Well, it takes some pressure off, because I don’t have to try to be ‘hunky.’ The involvement with the sports community has been, by far, the biggest benefit working on Housewives. It’s always fun to do sports related things, particularly since we bought this minor league sports team out here the Orange County Fliers.”
Well, different perspectives are worth something, eh? …..but I would’ve asked so many annoying questions of him! (OMG, Mike, who are you wearing?? Just kidding. Ish.)
