Julie Chen Moonves addresses long-term future as ‘Big Brother’ host

Big brother I just celebrated his 25^th Birthday on July 5, with host Julie Chen Moonves marking the opportunity by appointing her 25 best moments for the first 25 years. But what about the future?

With 26 seasons – plus one Above payment as well as three Celebrity Big Brother Editions to his credit – How long does “aunt Julie” want to continue to warn compensation and viewers expect the unexpected? While Chen Moonves will act again as a master of ceremonies for the next season 27 (who will be presented on July 10 on CBS), does the 25th anniversary is to be seen as soon as possible? Weekly entertainment asked exactly that.

“What do you know?” Chen Moonves answers. “It’s a chicken game. As long as Probst and Keoghan are there too.”

It refers, of course, to the longtime reality of CBS for a long time Jeff Probst (Survivor), which also started in 2000, and Phil Keoghan (The incredible race), which started in 2001. The way Chen Moonves sees it, the three are attached to the hip, and she does not want to be the first to cut the rope.

“I am not an abandonment,” she says, while noting that Bob Barker organized The price is correct for 35 years. “The Chenbot can hold on. I can give a race for the Energizer rabbit for his money.”

For Chen Moonves, it’s about loving your work. “This goes two ways,” she notes. “I can’t imagine my life without Big brother every summer, and I can’t imagine Big brother Without me. It’s a bit like we’re going. I am part of the show of season 1 and I am part of the construction. »»

In addition, there would be another horrible side effect of Chen Moonves leaving his post. “My capture sentences!” Can you imagine someone else deliver “but first …” or “love each other” or “wait for the unexpected” or “power is to be won”? I don’t think.

And it is not only her own accommodation work that she would like to remain stable. “I don’t want to see someone else host Survivor Or Incredible breed Either, “she adds.” I really don’t do it. “”

While the Chenbot will certainly be on board for season 27, the mystery remains as to who will be the “Mystery Houseguest” revealed during the first evening. The host has teased in EW that it will be a “very polarizing” figure, but if it means that it is an ancient insignificant is not clear. It has been five years since players have returned to the house. How often would the host like to see returnees in the game?

“I think all five to seven years are feeling good,” she replies. “There are emotions mixed internally and externally to bring past players back because they are a little jaded and they are more sophisticated, and some of them that you do not want to bring back because they were difficult the first time.”

In addition, there is something to say to build your list of stars. “I think that all of this is that you always want the 16 new people to become the new superstars of this game and become a new Janelle or a new Taylor. You want the new harvest to become the” professionals “of the game.”

As for what player above all the others that she would like to see return, Chen Moonves goes back to season 16. “I would like to see Derrick. How far can he go now that everyone knows his identity? They now know that he was a detective, so it is like: what is your strategy now that people know that you are used to solving crimes to live?”

A person looks like us won’t To see anytime soon is the favorite ice cream of everyone. When asked if Jankie could make an annual appearance like Otev and The Zingbot, Chen Moonves was forced to provide tearing news. “Right now, I don’t see Jankie signs making an appearance, which annoys me. I myself did this investigation.”

Of course, in the same way that the murdered jankie was relaunched at the end of season 26, there is always a radius of rope. “Look, anything is possible,” notes the host. “But I don’t see how. I don’t know this happens, unless Jankie is the masked visitor. ”
