It was a TV host reel of then Univision Radio hosts Lulu and Lala which first got my attention in 2012 because they were maximizing their screen time with celebrities, allowing them to plug their projects like every other host on the row, while going toe-to-toe with them on improv, humor and personality, which separated them from the rest.
Most people would be frightened out of their minds to sit in a room with Robin Williams while he went off on his creative tangents, but when he did with Lulu and Lala, they followed him, added their own spark and in the end, Williams was the one laughing in the clip.
TV seemed like a no-brainer goal or end place for the twins from New Jersey, but they needed a gimmick too or a genuine hobby, like flipping houses or something.
TWINNING
In the new trailer for CBS TV’s The Amazing Race, I wasn’t surprised to see the twins in the mix, as TV seemed like a natural, but the story of why now, and not sooner turned my questioning from genuine curiosity to a good old fashion personal interest story.
Lulu and Lala were already shooting The Amazing Race a couple years back when the coronavirus shut down all production. While they assumed that season was dead and gone, the show’s production team found them again for this season to assess if they were still interested. .
When a reality show is in motion on a network, there isn’t much the players are allowed to tell you, so I asked different questions, like, would you do it again, or would you tell the people you cared most about to compete in this show, or not?
The response was fast and resounding, without hesitation, yes.
SCAB PULLING
The twins admit that the show found some areas of their lives that were unresolved and brought those areas to light.
Lulu and Lala have held on-air positions in New York City with Univision and CBS, and in Miami with Cox. They’re presently heard on iHeartMedia’s WKTU/New York and WMIA/Miami. This season of The Amazing Race started Wednesday January 5th.
