THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES WHEN YOU JUST SAY "WHY NOT"? I WAS WALKING OFF AN ELEVATOR LATE FOR A MEETING AND OUR PR GUY GRABS ME AND SAYS SIMON COWEL IS LOOKING FOR A JUDGE FOR HIS NEW SHOW. WHAT? WHO? GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE, I'M LATE. NO, WAIT, I THINK YOU CAN GET THIS. OK, SO I DO THE CASTING. SIMON SAYS I WANT THAT GUY. AND THE REST IS HISTORY. I GOT TO WORK WITH SOME GREAT PEOPLE WHO BECAME DEAR FRIENDS. IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND I WAS ABLE TO SEE HOW THE OTHER SIDE OF ENTERTAINMENT WORKED. WE SHOULD ALL BE ON A REALITY SHOW.
