EAR YOU.
>> Jason: TATI?
>> Tati: THEY CAN BE AWKWARD,
MEMORABLE OR SOMETHING YOU'D
RATHER FORGET.
>> Chuck: WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
FIRST DATE.
NBC HAS A NEW REALITY SHOW OF
THE SAME NAME.
ELLEN DEGENERES IS ONE OF THE
PRODUCERS A DREW BARRYMORE
NARRATES.
>> Tati: A LOCAL GUY FROM THE D,
WITH CAMERAS ROLLING, AND
VIEWERS GET TO CHECK IT OUT.
>> RACHEL.
THAT GOT AWKWARD.
>> Announcer: SOME QUESTIONS YOU
JUST DON'T ASK.
>> HE ASKED ME HOW OLD I WAS.
I HATE HIM.
>> THE MINUTE I LOOKED AT YOU, I
THOUGHT, WOW, THAT'S EXACTLY WHO
I WANTED TO MEET.
>> THE HOPE IS FOR A SECOND
DATE.
>> IS THAT GOOD OR BAD?
>> Chuck: IS THIS BROUGHT TO YOU
BY MATCH.COM.
>> Tati: SAM HEALY WENT ON ONE
OF THE BLIND DATES AND MILLIONS
OF VIEWERS GOT TO SEE WHAT
HAPPENED.
>> Chuck: GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> Tati: THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> Tati: HOW DID YOU GET
INVOLVED IN THIS WHOLE THING?
>> I HAD A FRIEND WHO DID
CASTING AND APPROACHED ME AND
WAS LIKE, YOU'RE SINGLE AND
EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE, OUT BE
PERFECT!
[LAUGHTER]
>> Chuck: DID YOU HAVE TO WRITE
THAT DOWN.
>> SO I WENT IN AND TALKED TO
THE PRODUCERS AND THEY WERE
LIKE, THIS GUY IS WEIRD, LET'S
PUT HIM IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA,
ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, AND I KIND
OF FORGOT WHAT HAPPENED.
I'M HOPING I DON'T LOOK TOO MUCH
LIKE AN IDIOT, WHO KNOWS WITH
EDITING.
>> Chuck: WHAT WAS THE
EXPERIENCE LIKE?
>> A LITTLE WEIRD, OBVIOUSLY.
I'VE BEEN SINGLE ON AND OFF FOR
THE PAST THREE DECADES, SO I
HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH
FIRST DATES.
AND THE BARTENDER HAPPENED TO GO
TO SCHOOL WITH A ROOMMATE I HAD
IN D.C
THE PRODUCERS HAD TO SAY, THIS
IS A DATING SHOW AND CAN YOU
STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUR ROOMMATE
IN D.C
>> Tati: CAN I ASK WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE GIRL?
>> I THINK I'M NOT ALLOWED TO
SAY.
SPOILER ALERT, I'M SINGLE.
[LAUGHTER]
>> THE LEGAL TEAM WILL COME
AFTER ME ON THAT ONE.
>> Tati: WHAT WAS THE BEST PART
OF THE EXPERIENCE?
FIRST DATES CAN BE KIND OF AWFUL
OR AMAZING
>> THE BEST PART WAS JUST -- I
CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER RIGHT NOW.
SHE WAS REALLY COOL.
WE'RE STILL FRIENDS.
SHE WAS A REALLY COOL GIRL.
IT WAS FUN.
THIS IS GONNA COME AS A SHOCK
BUT NOT ALL OF IT IS, QUOTE,
UNQUOTE, REAL.
WHOA!
>> Chuck: ARE YOU BEING COACHED?
>> WE HAD TO WALK OUT FOUR
DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THE RIGHT
ANGLE.
>> Tati: THEY HAVE TO MAKE YOU
LOOK GOOD.
BUT THE CAMERAS WERE HIDDEN, SO
IT WASN'T LIKE THERE WAS A
CAMERA IN YOUR FACE, PROBABLY
ABOUT AS REAL AS YOU CAN GET FOR
A REALITY SHOW.
>> Tati: SO IT WAS ALL HIDDEN.
>> Chuck: WE USED THE WORD
AWKWARD, BUT WERE THERE MOMENTS
LIKE THIS, WITH HER AS WELL AS
THE CAMERAS?
>> I'M ALWAYS AWKWARD, SO THERE
WERE AWKWARD MOMENTS, FOR SURE.
I ORIGINALLY BROUGHT A GIRL IN
THAT WAS MY DATE AND ONE OF THE
PRODUCERS HAD IT WRONG AND WE
TALKED FOR TWO MINUTES AND THEY
WERE LIKE, THIS ISN'T YOUR DATE.
>> Tati: THAT'S AWKWARD.
>> I HOPE THEY DON'T EDIT LIKE I
WAS TRYING TO HIT ON ANOTHER
GIRL.
>> Tati: SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS A
FUN EXPERIENCE.
>> IT WAS VERY COOL, SUPER COOL,
BUT IT COMES OUT ON FRIDAY, BUT
I'M ACTUALLY NOT EVEN GONNA
WATCH IT BECAUSE THE CELTICS ARE
-ON, AND I'M A BIG BASKETBALL
FAN.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Chuck: S YOU LIKE YOU BUT --
>> IT STARTS AT 8:00, AND I
DON'T HAVE A TV.
I'M HOPING AT 9:00 MY MOM
DOESN'T CALL AND SAY YOU
EMBARRASSED THE FAMILY.
I'LL SEE IT THE NEXT DAY
STREAMING OR SOMETHING, BUT AS
LONG AS I DON'T GET A TEXTS, I
THINK IT WILL BE OKAY.
>> Chuck: WE'LL BE PRAYING FOR
YOU.
FIRST DATES AIRS FRIDAY AT 8:00
ON LOCAL 4.
PLEASE WATCH FOR SAM AND THEN
MAYBE YOU CAN TEXT HIM AT 11:00
