Interview with @JoeyMcIntyre of #ReturnofTheMac

In the new family-friendly show, Return of the Mac, Joey McIntyre plays an actor wanting to be taken seriously. His own beautiful family joins him as actors on the show as they navigate life when Joey is offered a job as a TV talk show host on a fledgling cable network, the Comfy Channel.

At a recent promotional event in King of Prussia, PA, I had the opportunity to meet and interview Joey. See a brief Q&A below:

Q: What do you want the audience to take away from this show?

A: I hope people relate no matter what they go through. It’s really about having to say “yes” when you really want to say “no” because hopefully it will lead to bigger and better things – you know, the ups and downs of any career and dealing with crazy people and trying to make the most of it.

Q: What excites you about this show?

A: I think it’s funny. I feel like I have a certain sensibility and humor and I was able to put together a team of good writers and actors.

Q: Do you help write the scripts?

A: I created the show, so yes. My real family is sprinkled in there and I kinda went for it. You have to ask for help and hopefully people will show up and they did for me. It’s something I have never done so I am proud of the final outcome. It is a good challenge.

Meet New Kids on the Block’s @JoeyMcIntyre at KOP on March 31st #ReturnOfTheMac #Xfinity

 *Event is first come, first served. Availability subject to time limits. Limit two autographs per person.
RETURN OF THE MAC is a scripted comedy starring boy band heartthrob Joey McIntyre as a version of himself alongside his real-life family—wife Barrett and their three children, Griffin (8), Rhys (6) and Kira (5). As he embarks on a hilarious quest to be taken seriously as a legit actor, Joey is thrown into the reluctant role of a talk show host at a fledgling cable network called The Comfy Channel. As Joey starts to navigate the talk show circuit, he is joined by his often misguided manager and team played by a hysterical cast, including Adam Ray, Jamie Denbo, Katie Wee, Punam Patel and Jordan Black.
RETURN OF THE MAC is executive produced by Donnie Wahlberg, Jenny McCarthy and Joey McIntyre, along with Tim Gibbons (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”), Paul Greenberg (“Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris”) and Jenny Daly (“Storage Hunters”).
Return of the Mac premieres Wednesday, April 12 at 8:30P/7:30c on Pop. Learn more about the series and find your channel at poptv.com.
