Country darling Kellie Pickler gearied up for the debut of “Pickler & Ben,” ABC daytime television’s new destination for the best in lifestyle and entertainment, on Monday, September 18th. The bubbly North Carolina native co-hosted the talk show based in Nashville with Emmy-winning television personality Ben Aaron. The program will feature the pair hosting segments with top celebrities, tastemakers, and experts on everything from entertaining and home design to cooking, DIY, and more. The first episode aired with Dolly Parton as a surprise guest.
“This show truly feels like home — it’s like spending time with a bunch of good friends who just stopped by to trade stories on the back porch,” said Pickler. “We have a little something for everyone. We’ll laugh, get inspired and meet some very talented and extraordinary people.”
“When Kellie and I get together, it’s anything but predictable,” said Ben. “We have an incredible team of creative minds behind this show, and I can’t wait to deliver our country-city combo to viewers across America.”
“Pickler & Ben’s” live studio audience will include a mix of Nashville locals and out-of-towners seeking the best in entertainment. Nashville is one of the country’s fastest-growing cities, with nearly 100 people each day moving to the city made famous by country music, all-American food, Southern charm and world-class hospitality. Fans are invited to join a taping by requesting tickets through the show’s website.
