Tube Talk Girl returns from hiatus

by Jennifer Squires Biller

Hey y’all! I just returned from an AMAZING weekend of hanging out with my first TV crush, possibly your first TV crush, a Tony-nominated Broadway actor, a gifted film actor and three of the nicest TV stars I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. Where was I you ask? Well, here’s a hint:



(Cue Waylon Jennings)
"Just the good ‘ol boys
Never meanin’ no harm
Beats all you ever saw
Been in trouble with the law since the day they was born. "


I just returned from Nashville, Tenn. covering DukesFest 2006. DukesFest is a fun-filled festival for Dukes of Hazzard fans to meet the stars of the show, hear some great country music, watch the General Lee defy gravity, in some breathtaking stunts, and revel in a little bit of nostalgia from Hazzard County. Tube Talk was on the scene to bring you the 411 on all things Duke.

That’s right, Tubers. I spent the weekend interviewing John Schneider (Bo Duke, my first TV crush,) Catherine Bach (Daisy Duke,) Tom Wopat (Luke Duke) James Best (Rosco P. Coltrane,) Sonny Shroyer (Enos) Rick Hurst (Cletus) and Ben Jones (Cooter.) I’ve got plenty of scoop to share and tons of photos. I’ll be posting my interviews with each of the stars, what they’re up to now and my recap of the festival. It’s good stuff Tubers. I promise. Have I ever lied to you before?

So, if your first crush was Daisy Duke, or Bo, or Luke, you don’t want to miss this. I’ll be posting stories from DukesFest as soon as I get my tape transcribed, my photos uploaded and my notes deciphered. For now, I’m off to get some rest after my 10-hour drive. It was a long trip home, especially since I had to keep resisting the urge to drag race with the police cars I saw along the interstate. Yee-Haw, y’all!
