00:00:00
And I worked as one of the producers on
00:00:02
Homes.
00:00:02
>> For anyone under a certain age, it's
00:00:04
probably hard to imagine or fathom just
00:00:06
how big this show was. Like Homes 7:00
00:00:08
p.m. on TV 1. How many viewers? Like
00:00:10
800,000 a night, a million a night. It's
00:00:12
like it was massive. And if anything
00:00:13
happened in the news,
00:00:14
>> it was the court. Yeah, it was. Paul was
00:00:16
the was the judge,
00:00:18
>> you know, and he gave people, you know,
00:00:20
Jonah had, you know, huge moment on the
00:00:22
show where over one of his marriages and
00:00:24
his personal relationship situation
00:00:26
cried on the show. Hugely emotional.
00:00:29
that rated, you know, obviously off the
00:00:31
charts, but Paul had an ability to to
00:00:34
have empathy with people. You know,
00:00:35
that's the one thing, you know, he
00:00:37
definitely had a soul. He was better
00:00:39
briefed than everyone. He knew what was
00:00:40
going on in New Zealand, in the world
00:00:42
at, you know, 9:30 in the morning for
00:00:43
the first meeting. Paul knew the agenda
00:00:46
before anyone because everyone else is
00:00:47
just waking up and got their first
00:00:49
coffee. And he's like been on air for
00:00:51
hours and so he's like, I need to get to
00:00:53
Tapo. I need to talk to the grieving
00:00:54
wife. Get me a helicopter. I'll be there
00:00:56
at 11:00. I'll be back at 1:00. I'll
00:00:57
pre-record this. I'll do that. Man, what
00:01:00
a day.
