Apparently when actors go on talk shows the show's people ask the celeb's management for talking points. Usually it's a cute story that the host can make jokes about or get the audience invested. Ben's management probably gave that as one of a few cutesy talking points.

I agree though, Ben totally did an internal eyeroll and Marie was brutal, IMO. The transition from talking about what seemed to be McSwarek to his real life relationship so so abrupt.

Yeah, it was pretty obvious someone from his team must have fed that to Marie's team prepping her for this. But yeah, I think they probably didn't tell him or told him that was one among many things they'd passed along.

A lot of it was her, she does not make for a great talk show host. I caught about half of one of her previous shows during the holiday and ouch. Seriously.

I will say if the women in the audience and their response to him were any indication to bookers, I do think we will be seeing him as the season gets closer to airing. Missy and Greg were awesome on Conan last season! I feel like Ben would be great with either of the Jay's. They would appreciate his sarcasm. Ditto Conan.

Totally noticed the "relationship" segway and he absolutely didn't realize she was heading toward his real life and not the show.

Also did anyone notice that at the start of the interview it was clear that Marie had never seen the show and then at the end she says "I love the show." I hate when interviewers feel the need to throw in that kind of fakeness.

Ben was positively wonderful in every way.

Considering the fact that she kept saying "Rookie Blues" instead of "Rookie Blue" it was quite obvious - and based on the fan base (and how many of us complained during the promotion about season three about that extra "s") I think he was totally aware that she was lying about it.

Ben is so adorable. :wub: But he's always seemed kinda private about his personal life, so it surprises me he'd talk about the proposal and go into so much detail. He's so cute though...I could listen to him talk about pretty much anything and have a huge smile on my face.

That was annoying about her too. If you are going to bring a guest on your show, a little more research than what your writers and producers give you should happen. At least other talk show hosts either read up on the show, or catch an episode or two before the guest comes on. They may not be big fans and may not have seen or read more than a few hours worth, but they come across as more genuine.

Still though, loved seeing him on there. Wish it was on another talk show, though.

Eventhough Ben has been private about his life, this year he seems to be opening up a lot versus the past... with twitter & etc.

The purple socks was a thing on Donny and Marie (the talk show that ran from 1998 to 2000). Donny wore the purple socks and would show them off on it. God, I can't believe I watched that show with my brother. I was in HS and it was on when I came home from school, that's my excuse!

I did catch the confusion that flashed across Ben's face real quick. At first, I thought she was talking about RB too, but then she went into him being married. I'm glad he did her show even if it's a smaller talk show on a cable network just to get his face out there in the US more, though I get the impression he's not a fan of the fame that comes along with being a TV actor. The Rookie Blues thing drives me batty, LOL :haha: (it's the fanatic fan and grammar in me). Similar to when my dad mispronounces the simplest words!

I like the little stories he shares about his life...he's so down to earth and just a regular (super attractive) person. And I adore him in navy blue! :wub: Actually, I love when ANY cast member shares personal stories! We need more interviews with every cast member!

He has a fairly lengthy resume but I definitely agree that this is probably the first time he's become this well known on a larger scale. I don't think he dislikes it, I think he's just a really humble, down to earth guy and hasn't really figured out how to deal with it yet.

He seems pretty comfortable though, although probably not as comfortable as Missy and Greg. Maybe those 2 can hold a "how to handle people recognizing you and your new found fame 101" class for their colleagues or something. I think those 2 are probably the most comfortable in interviews...

... than again, they tend to interview with people who at least know something about their show.

Just when I think I couldn't love him more I watch his interview on the Marie Osmond show and it's like falling in love again for the first time. :wub: I felt like a dork when I realized I had been grinning at my computer screen for 8 minutes while watching the interview...

That interview had me grinning like an idiot and giggling.. Oh gosh Ben.
It's so cute to hear Ben talk about these sort of things, he's such a romantic guy :wub:
His intended proposal was absolutely adorable! And his description of their first date sounds like something out of a movie *sigh*
I didn't think I could love the man anymore but there he goes proving me wrong.

I was a little bummed that they didn't talk more about the show and what to expect in S4... but I guess Ben's story made up for that!

Also I take back what I've said about Ben looking a little too slim, he's looking really good :wink: And the dimples he pulled out in the end :thud:

Finally got a chance to watch the interview.
Aww, he is absolutely adorable! :wub: he looks pretty muck like how he does most of time which is, smokin' HOT! :omg: :drool:
No offence to the host but she did a pretty horrible job at getting info. I get that they bring on people to the show to talk about their acting and personal life but I felt she was doing more personal than acting. I was totally waiting on thinking she'd talk about that. Other than that, the show was pretty interesting. Again, not lashing out :flower:

He really is a romantic. Beside this adorable marriage proposal story, Ben has said that like Sam he is a one women sort of guy -- dedicated and loyal to one women. And all of the kinds of things he says about pulling for Sam & Andy always make me feel like he is a romantic at heart! Adore him.

well he did say that he's been doing some heavy scenes so he was probably in the middle of fliming. remember that time on one of the episodes where he's at his locker and i saw that he was wearing his wedding ring. i remember all the fan boards fired up after that-i wasn't the only one who saw it. so my guess is that he doesn't wear during filming.
