Who remembers Great Hotels? For three years I shot 90 episodes and over 100 hotels. I had a blast! Comment
You want to know something crazy? For the first 5 years I was on the Travel Channel, I didn’t even have it on my TV! Cable TV was just rolling out as I was getting my start, so it didn’t register that I was on as many peoples’ screens as I was until years later.
