Charlotte Today Show...with Beebs

BB was on TV yet again back on 2.2.11 (Chinese New Year's Eve). This time it was extra special for a number of reasons. The focus was Chinese New Year and the show decided it would be neat to have the cast and crew come to BB's house for the true Betty Lee New Year's experience. They came about 2 weeks before the actual New Year and the actual airing of the show so they could film the experience and then later have her come on the show talk about the holiday and prepare a dish live.

All went perfectly and the kids were actually invited on the show too! So we skipped school and joined BB in the lime light! They just ran on with BB at the end of the segment. Aston said "Happy Chinese New Year" in Chinese and he was an instant star...Stell ran away from Colleen (the host:)) but it made for good TV I suppose. Aston actually had another cameo at the end playing the "Wack-A-Mole" arcade game (it was ground hog day...so they were just goofin' around) with the hosts of the show....Here's the clip of BB's segment...

and here are some extra still photos.

and here is her Long Life Noodles recipe that see presented on the show.

I was sweating bullets trying keep the kids silent during the hour taping of the show...they were pretty good but I ran outa sweet-tarts and nerds like 20 minutes in...good thing BB had some spring rolls hanging around.

Here's Wack-A Mole...practicing during commercial

Tried to keep Stell in her stroller for as long as possible...see Larry Sprinkle in the background? Aston's a HUGE fan as I've mentioned before...

Aston had free reign of the place during commercial breaks...and let me tell you...he took advantage...this son of mine is not shy...

I mean he took OVER the WCNC Storm Center and Larry let him control all his maps on the computer! After the show Larry invited him to have a front row seat for the 12:05 weather. Aston sat real still but his sister ran right behind the camera and screamed "Asty!"...ugh...you would have heard had you been watching the 12:05 weather...

This is when he was actually taped playing "Wack-A-Mole":)

"i don't have the words to explain how amazing it was"!!!! what a compliment!! loved that they called her "a contributor" in the intro like she's on every week. i mean seriously, she's going to be THE local chef w/ spots every week in a matter of no time!! AMAZING! love that the kids got in on the action. love that aston and larry are buds. hehe

omg can't even tell you how much i loved this! so so cool! i mean the lees are such celebrities!!! and how the kids too! so very cool. betty is so awesome. i can't believe she prepared that 12 course meal and everything was served hot and to perfection. don't know how she does that all by herself. loved that the kids got to make an appearance as well. ok aston and his idol larry sprinkle....together...is too much. he will cherish that forever i'm sure. tickled that he loves larry so much. lol. perhaps meteorology will be in his future?

okay so i just watched the video and oh. my. goodness. bb's food looks to die for - it made me SO stinking hungry! the bit of aston at the end saying 'happy new year' kinda brought a tear to my eye - love that he's still rockin' his stella mccartney jacket - he's such a cool kid. stell looks beautiful as always. feel like mr. a may be a larry stalker! :)

I'm so glad you have the video on your blog; I accidentally deleted it from my DVR and I can't find it on the Charlote Today site - know it's in there but without the exact name of the video it's hard to find. Thanks and it was so much fun having the kids on - they were so good and so cute.
