Evening Magazine Interviews Matt Roloff, One of their 25 Most Memorable People

Five years before Little People Big World became a fan favorite every Monday night, Evening Magazine, from NBC affiliate King 5 in Seattle, did a story on Matt Roloff when he was promoting his book "Against Tall Odds" Matt credits that interview as one of the catalysts that led his family to TLC and reality television stardom.

Saint Bryan, an award winning reporter at Evening Magazine visited Matt and Amy at the farm recently as part of EM's 25th anniversary on the air and the story about the 25 most memorable people they have featured on their show.

See below for the interview and wonderful walk down memory lane...

A Roloff Culture 'POP'

When Duffmano from Culture Brats interviewed Matt Roloff it was clear that he’d watched more that a few episodes of Little People Big World. Culture Brats is a witty, edgy and fun blog about pop culture and I love pop culture and have been a fan of their blog for a while. I was surprised when Matt told me about the interview. His PR people process so many requests from bloggers and other online media sources to do interviews, but its just weird when it is a blog I’ve read often. Matt and Amy are open to talk to anyone as long as they can carve it out of their schedule. It’s nice to see them embrace online media. Anyway, click the link to enjoy the article. I did

The Cat is 'Officially' Out of the Bag with TLC's Announcement

"The network has ordered the Roloffs back to TV"
declares the Hollywood Reporter.

They go on to say: "If after last year’s Little People, Big World series finale, you were concerned about the state of Matt and Amy Roloff’s marriage, or if they decided to sell the farm, and how the older boys, Jeremy and Zach Roloff, are doing as adults, TLC has a solution for your curiosity.

TLC has confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that it has ordered four new specials with the Roloffs. Production has already begun with the first one currently scheduled to air in early October. The first special will address some of the cliffhangers in the series finale"

Whew, now that the announcement has officially been made I can talk a little bit about it. Matt ,Amy and the family are very excited about the specials. If you have read my other posts about this you will know that TLC and the Roloff’s have been in discussions since before they ended the series last year. Their return to LPBW was always in the plans, it was just how they would return that needed some working out. Matt and Amy are very appreciative of TLC’s generosity in helping them maintain some space that strikes a perfect balance with the family and the limited number of planned updates. Because of the non-disclosure there will be things that I’m just not able to speak about, but my plan is to keep some goodies and tid bits away ‘in the vault’ and publish them when appropriate.
