MTV's 'Making the Band 4' special: On the scene

I just returned to the office from being interviewed on camera for MTV’s upcoming Making the Band 4 special, which I’m told will air in February. It was taped at MTV’s studio in downtown New York and it was pretty cool because I got a chance to see a few of the fans that were invited to give their feedback as well. (They were very excited about getting the celebrity hair and makeup treatment.) My interview mostly focused on what makes the show a hit, why it connects with viewers, and what went wrong with Danity Kane. Of course, the producers made me promise not to ruin any of the surprises they have planned for the show, but here’s what I can tell you: It will be an hour-long special recapping the first three seasons of the show, culminating with an exclusive preview of the season 4 trailer.In addition to featuring commentary from fans and journalists such as yours truly, the special will also feature interviews with DK, Diddy, Day 26, and Donnie Klang.No one would tell me if Aubrey O’Day and D. Woods will appear on the show, but I’m guessing they will. After all, what else do they have to do these days? Life after DK clearly isn’t as cute as they thought it would be. Imagine that.
