00:00:00
And I worked as one of the producers on Homes. >> For anyone under a certain age, it's
00:00:04
probably hard to imagine or fathom just how big this show was. Like Homes 7:00 p.m. on TV 1. How many viewers? Like
00:00:10
800,000 a night, a million a night. It's like it was massive. And if anything
00:00:13
happened in the news, >> it was the court. Yeah, it was. Paul was the was the judge,
00:00:18
>> you know, and he gave people, you know, Jonah had, you know, huge moment on the
00:00:22
show where over one of his marriages and his personal relationship situation cried on the show. Hugely emotional.
00:00:29
that rated, you know, obviously off the charts, but Paul had an ability to to have empathy with people. You know,
00:00:35
that's the one thing, you know, he definitely had a soul. He was better briefed than everyone. He knew what was
00:00:40
going on in New Zealand, in the world at, you know, 9:30 in the morning for the first meeting. Paul knew the agenda
00:00:46
before anyone because everyone else is just waking up and got their first coffee. And he's like been on air for
00:00:51
hours and so he's like, I need to get to Tapo. I need to talk to the grieving
00:00:54
wife. Get me a helicopter. I'll be there at 11:00. I'll be back at 1:00. I'll
00:00:57
pre-record this. I'll do that. Man, what a day.
