BuzzWorthy Radio

Anniversary week comes to a close with two fun interviews to celebrate the goodness that one of our guests coined, "Naked Friday."

Julie Benz, who plays Stephanie on ABC's "No Ordinary Family," stopped by the show to chat about her previous role, Rita, from SHOWTIME's "Dexter." She revealed to us about the killing of the character as well as rumors surrounding the character and actress' departure.

Daniel Goddard, Cane Ashby on CBS Daytime's "The Young and the Restless," stopped by to chat with fans about his upcoming storyline that is in effect right now, where fans will start to learn of Cane's checkered past.

Suzanne Rogers joined the cast of "Days of our Lives" in July 1973, and six years later won an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Maggie Horton.

Rogers began her career at the age of 17 when she left her hometown of Colonial Heights, Virginia for New York City. She joined the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall and starred on Broadway with Katharine Hepburn and Alexis Smith. This is where she was introduced to a casting director who brought her in for a screen test. It was eventually sent over to DAYS, and the character of Maggie Horton was born.

Rogers dedicates much of her spare time to helping people afflicted with myasthenia gravis, a rare muscle disease with which she was diagnosed in 1984. She is currently in remission and lives a strong and healthy life.

BuzzWorthy's Anniversary Week continues as we air two of our most talked about interviews during the course of the show.

Kicking off the hour is the interview with Kristoff St. John, Neil Winters on CBS Daytime's "The Young and the Restless." This interview, which is also in conjuction with our second interview rebroadcast, has brought many Y&R fans out of the woodwork to support the actor and also begged the question, "Why are we not seeing much of African-American storylines on Y&R?"

Victoria Rowell, who played the role of Drucilla winters on Y&R from 1990-2007, also came onto the show to discuss the same scenario after hearing St. John's interview. Hear her thoughts on the situation as well as what is currently on-screen at Y&R.

Though Judi Evans was born in Montebello, CA and grew up in Monterey Park, it would be accurate to add that the actress grew up professionally on daytime. Evans made her television debut on the CBS drama “Guiding Light” in 1983 as the troubled Beth Raines. Her performance won her the 1984 Daytime Emmy Award as Outstanding Supporting Actress. In 1986 Evans joined NBC's “Days of our Lives,” where she portrayed the popular Adrienne Kiriakis opposite Wally Kurth's (ex-Ned, “General Hospital”) Justin. From 1991 to 1999 Evans played Paulina Carlino on “Another World,” a character that she described as "sweet and devilish." The role won her the “Soap Opera Digest” Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in 1998. Evans was nominated for two additional “Soap Opera Digest” awards — Hottest Female Star in 1993 and Favorite Daytime Supercouple on a Daytime Serial — shared with Vincent Irizarry (ex-Lujack, “Guiding Light”) in 1986. After the cancellation of “Another World,” Evans took time off to focus on her family and moved back to California following her husband, an L.A.-based cameraman for CNBC. She returned briefly to acting in 2000 when she played Patsy Ramsey in the made-for-TV movie “Getting Away with Murder: The JonBenet Ramsey Mystery.” To the delight of her fans she came back to daytime in 2003 to play Mimi's trashy mother Bonnie Lockhart on ”Days of our Lives.” Bonnie left Salem in early 2007, but Adrienne soon returned to town. In 2008 she was again nominated for an Emmy, but this time for the dual roles of Adrienne Kiriakis and Bonnie Lockhart. This was a first for daytime since the characters were not on the air at the same time. She appeared briefly on “As the World Turns” in 2009, before returning once again to “Days of our Lives” as Adrienne Kiriakis.

At the 2010 Daytime Emmys in Las Vegas, Evans was voted by TV Guide as the “Best Dressed All Around” for the 4-day celebration of the Daytime Emmys with its Pre-Emmy parties and after-parties.

BuzzWorthy Radio's Anniversary Week continues as we re-air two favorite interviews by fans and me alike.

James Maslow, who plays James Diamond on the hit Nickelodeon show, "Big Time Rush," stopped by to chat about the show as well as recording the band's first album. Also, you will learn the auditioning process for him and his co-stars.

Chris Harrison, who hosts many shows on ABC and TV GUIDE CHANNEL such as "The Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad," and the Red Carpet Pre-Shows, spoke to us about the Bachelor as well as what he felt on show replicas on other networks.

It's not many acting hopefuls who get the chance to personally quiz the likes of Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas and Peter Fonda on how to make it "big" in Hollywood, so when a young James Reynolds got the opportunity, he grabbed it. Having studied journalism in college, Reynolds spent time as a film reviewer for the "Topeka Daily Capitol" and, as a part of his duties, interviewed a number of filmdom's brightest talents. Reynolds' research has paid off as viewers who have seen him regularly on NBC's "Days of Our Lives" and "Generations" will attest.

Reynolds made his first appearance as stalwart police captain Abe Carver on "Days of Our Lives" in 1981. After nine years, Reynolds moved to the new daytime series "Generations," where he earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. With the subsequent demise of that series, Reynolds returned to "Days of Our Lives" in 1991.

In 2004 received a NAACP Image Award nomination for Best Actor in a Daytime Drama for his role on "Days of Our Lives," followed by a 2004 Daytime Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama.

Despite his heavy schedule on the series, Reynolds still finds time to head Free State Productions, a film and TV production company involved with documentaries, movies and music videos, as well as making occasional appearances on stage in Los Angeles. He starred in "Buffalo Soldier" at Theatre/Theater in a taut drama about black U.S. Army troops in the American West following the Civil War for which he was nominated for an NAACP Theatre Award. He also starred with other Vietnam veterans in the acclaimed drama "Tracers," which was conceived by John DiFusco and created by a group of actor/veterans in 1980. When time permits, Reynolds tours colleges in his one-man show, "I, Too, Am America." The show, written and performed by Reynolds, is a commentary on the African-American experience from the time the first slaves were brought to this country up to the present day.

Our anniversary week continues with some more first for the show! We begin by rebroadcasting our very first interview with "General Hospital" star, Maurice Benard, who has played Sonny Corinthos since 1993.

Patricia Richardson, who many fans loved as Jill Taylor from ABC's "Home Improvement," spoke to us about her former on-screen husband, Tim Allen, and how she felt he was very underrated in Hollywood.

Finally, Scott Bryce, the original Craig Montgomery on CBS's former soap, "As the World Turns," will also be rebroadcast, and hear his thoughts on how he felt when the show let former co-star Martha Byrne (Lily Snyder) walk!

BuzzWorthy Radio celebrates 3 years on the air November 5, 2010. We kick off with a special anniversary week where BWR host, NaVell J. Lee will be re-airing some of his favorite interviews, commentary, as well as special moments that has happened within the course of three years.

Our very first guest was that of Catherine Hickland, who has played Lindsay Rappaport on ABC Daytime's "One Life to Live," Tess Wilder on "LOVING/THE CITY," and other daytime programs. Hickland even started her own BlogTalkRadio show. Join us as we relive our first show with our first guest.

Jim Rash stars as Dean Pelton in NBC's Community. Rash has also starred as "Mr Grayson/Stitches," a sidekick to the supervillain 'Royal Pain' in the 2005 film Sky High and as the recurring characters "Fenton" on That '70s Show and "Andrew" on Reno 911!.

He also guest starred in the last episode of Friends, and played the role of Head T.A. "Philip" in "Slackers."

In addition to his work on Community, Rash has also moved into screenwriting. The screenplay that he and his partner Nat Faxon have written is currently filming. Alexander Payne is directing and George Clooney is the male lead.
