needed to hear right now.
>> Mario, what is happening?
>> Oh, what is happening?
Well, Chris Harrison dropping
another cliffhanger on us on
"The bachelor."
>> Well, we're nearing the end
of the season.
Please welcome our friend, Chris
Harrison!
>> Hey!
>> Bring her home to us.
>> So, what happened there,
Chris?
>> Man, it was hot in the
outback, hot, and we did not
hydrate, and that's what
happens.
Hydrate.
Um, no, this was -- as I can
really only paint now, the
season starts tonight.
After all the trials and
tribulations, it really does
start tonight.
It is a whole new ball of wax
now.
>> What are we down to, the
final three?
>> Yes.
>> The final three tonight.
When something like that
happens, are you close by or do
they have to go get you?
Because I love when you just
appear.
>> There is no way to be close
by there.
I mean, we were out in the
outback.
>> So, do you get like --
>> So, you have to be there.
So I was there.
>> -- Like a 9 11 call, okay.
>> So that's near the end,
clearly, then we got this news
that will kind of shape what
happens, maybe shape the rest of
his life.
>> So, Chris, what was up with
that picture that you posted
with you, pilot Pete, and that
producer that he's now dating?
>> You mean trolling "Bachelor"
nation?
>> What's the inside scoop
there?
Is it --
>> Kit and I like to call that
breadcrumbing.
>> We just learned a new term.
>> Yeah, we just learned a new,
hip term.
No, actually, I didn't mean to
do anything, other than the fact
that we spend a lot of time
together.
We travel the world together.
Julie, an amazing, talented,
smart producer that works for
us, works on the show, so she's
with Peter and she's with all of
us --
>> And sometimes relationships
develop.
>> But is she with him, with
him?
>> I'll just say this, it's an
intimate relationship.
You spend that much time
together, we all get close.
>> That's a resounding yes.
>> Here's the thing --
>> Sometimes those lines get
blurred.
>> There's been a couple of
times on the season, there was
one guy named puts who fell in
love with iakon testant, a sound
guy.
And when he got caught, remember
this, he jumped over the
balcony!
>> He broke his leg.
>> Look at this guy, puts.
>> Both legs?
>> He jumped off a second-story
balcony because we were coming
in the room when he was about to
be discovered and he didn't want
to get fired.
By the way, no job is worth
jumping off a second-story
building --
>> Breaking both your legs.
>> Poor puts.
>> "The bachelor" did a
reenactment and it was like,
over the balcony he goes.
>> That's hilarious.
>> I did like a '70s old-school
news reenactment.
That was all me.
I dove into that.
It was great.
>> That's so funny.
But you do spend a lot of time
with the crew --
>> Yes.
>> And there is proximities.
Even yourself, you're a single
guy.
Would it be against the rules,
like a girl that's no longer --
let's say didn't get a rose.
Couldn't you theoretically --
>> The only rules are, Peter
needs to have the best
opportunity to find love or
whoever the bachelor or
bachelorette is.
If something were to mess that
up, then we would try to step in
and we would help.
Like back in the day, there was
a girl named Roslyn who had a
very inappropriate relationship
with one of our --
>> You let her go.
You made her leave.
>> Yeah, and it was in the
middle of Jake Pavelka's
season --
>> Angry Jake.
That was a fun one.
>> Angry Jake.
By the way, ironically, also a
pilot.
>> A pilot.
>> Maybe it's a pilot thing.
>> Do you have, not a
favorite -- let's go this --
who's been the most
disappointing bachelor or
bachelorette?
>> I think most people would
think it was Juan Pablo or --
>> He was great!
>> Thank you.
Because that was good TV and I
think it was compelling and
interesting TV, although maybe
not the best bachelor.
>> No.
>> I wouldn't want him dating my
daughter.
But you know, he was -- I think
you go back to like Lorenzo bore
gazie, not a great season.
Charlie O'Connell and I didn't
exactly get along very well.
Super good guy, just we were
like oil and water.
He's kind of an east coast guy,
I'm not and --
>> You didn't get along with
him?
That's Jerry O'Connell's
brother.
>> Oh, I know.
>> Oh, you know this?
I never heard this.
>> No, but I know Jerry.
Forgot about that.
>> I know you're new to L.A. And
Hollywood, but --
>> I didn't know.
I forget about the season.
Your kids are teenagers.
>> Yes.
>> My daughter's like, we can't
>> We're about the same age, our
kids.
>> Yes.
What did they think about you
hosting this?
Did they laugh?
Do they come to the rose
ceremony --
>> Kind of like my life, they
ebb and flow.
They come in and out of it.
For a while they were into it.
As you know, obviously, all of
us are parents.
There is nothing you will do as
a parent that's cool, ever.
Ever!
And that's just the way it is.
Like, dad hosts "The bachelor."
I've hosted their entire lives.
My son was 6 weeks old when I
got the job.
It's been 18 years as our kids
are --
>> All their life.
>> And my daughter's 16, so
that's just their life.
>> Well, I think this is cool,
this volcano live event.
>> Yes.
>> You're hosting with one of
the wallendas, isn't it?
>> Nik Wallenda.
This is his highest, longest,
scariest, craziest.
>> Uh-oh.
>> That is the messiah volcano
in Nicaragua, live on March 4th.
>> So, he falls in lava.
>> No, he's --
>> No, if he falls, he's going
into lava.
>> Yes, good point.
He could.
Hopefully, he will not.
>> Yeah, that's what I'm saying,
so it makes it cool.
>> There is a real lava pool
below him.
This is an active volcano.
He's walking over -- if you put
two wine corks together --
>> I'm already nervous.
>> That's what he's walking on.
>> Oh, wow.
>> Over toxic gas, lava.
He has to wear a mask.
You saw at the beginning, he's
wearing a mask so he doesn't
pass out.
>> Wow.
>> And he knows he can go blind.
There's toxic fumes.
So he's practiced this
blindfolded just in case.
>> I'm already nervous.
>> That's crazy.
>> What if you gave him a rose
and his beloved was on the other
side?
Combine the two shows.
>> He has a beloved, but this is
generations.
I grew up on the wallendas,
so --
>> Flying wallendas.
>> Of course.
There are generations of
wallendas that have come to --
he lost his great grandfather in
a tragic accident in 1978.
>> I remember that.
>> So, this is real.
I mean, this really is that
dangerous.
>> Volcano's next level, though,
let's be honest.
>> It's wild.
>> Live on March 4th.
>> What happens if something
goes wrong?
>> Then we cover --
>> We have a front row seat.
>> Fortunately enough, I have a
journalism background.
I cut my teeth in news.
I cut my teeth in real sports.
So, we're prepared for it.
Obviously, we pray that doesn't
happen, but this is the risk
he's taking.
This is it.
>> That's what makes it --
>> Wow, so exciting!
>> -- Worth watching.
Dun, dun, dun.
