Jonathan Bennett Wants More ‘90s Music
Manage episode 374581713 series 2845513
In honor of his new show Battle of the Decades, Jonathan Bennett reflects back on the decades that raised him. Jonathan reveals that some of his earliest food memories revolve around Campbell’s soup and Applebee’s lemonade. The actor shares what it’s like for him to witness the revival of fashion staples that he grew up with from the 80s. He shares some of the comedy movies that inspired him as a child to want to perform and ignited his passion to make people laugh. Jonathan recalls asking his father to build him a stage as opposed to a treehouse, where he would go on to perform for his family for a small entrance fee. He dishes on his high school theater career, remembering fondly how it served as a safe space for him to be himself. The 2000s icon claims that his parents always knew he’d be an actor, so they weren’t surprised when he left his liberal arts college to pursue a career in New York City. He remembers landing his first role in TV and his many Food Network hosting gigs that led him to his newest one, Battle of the Decades. He details some of his favorite aspects of his show and how the 3-round competition differs from other cooking competition shows. The host gushes on how he loves witnessing the old school and new school chefs learn from each other and how he’s hopeful the show will spark similar conversations between family members tuning in from home.
