I think we met at Janine's party once and we really hit it off but I think we should get to know each other a little bit better. And I heard Oprah was giving away a show to somebody that really really wanted it and had something to say. And I've got a lot to say, but I didn't know exactly where I fit because I have something called cerebral palsy (which I believe is the sexiest of all the palsies) but it does sort of limit where my strengths are. I tried a cooking show, and normally when I cook I set my pants on fire and this didn't go any better. The next thing we're going to learn to cook is TAKEOUT! The health and well-being, yoga was... interesting. This isn't yoga, I'm just putting on pants. America doesn't want to see this. Fashion, I felt, I was really good at. You know, like, I could do a lot of that. But I don't know how the rest of the world would feel. I decided that what I really wanted to do was make a travel show for people who never thought they could travel, and inspire people to go on an adventure. Cuz I feel like so many travel shows are about how to plan the perfect vacation, oh, go to the perfect restaurant. "Oh, hey Bono, how's it going, I didn't expect to see you here!" My travel show would be about how to have a perfect vacation when things don't go as planned at all. "Oh no, all our stuff was stolen!" "Oh, we've got to figure out a way to climb up this mountain." You know? And this would be something to prove to people that no obstacle is too big, no mountain too high, no volcano too hot, and no Atlantis is too underwater or fictional. We're just going to go on the craziest adventures we can and whatever we encounter, we're gonna have a great time. As my mom always says, when life gives you wheelchair, make lemonade. I don't know what she meant, but I'm going to take her advice. So if you're ready America, let's go on an adventure together! All right, I'm ready! Perfect! Let's go!
