“Spooksville” airs Saturdays at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT on the Hub Network.
Last night The Hub Network hosted its second live web conference exclusively for press called “Hub Network’s What’s the Hubbub?”. This web conference featured the lead actor of its new original series “Spooksville,” Keean Johnson (“Billy Elliot” – Broadway) and series head writer, Jim Krieg (“Justice League: the Flashpoint Paradox”), as they answered media questions about "Spooksville" and more. The session was broadcast online and moderated by the Hub Network’s VP of Programming, Ted Biaselli.
I missed the first “Hub Network’s What’s the Hubbub?”, which featured a sit down chat with "Sister, Sister" star Jackée Harry. Luckily, I was able to submit questions before and they were asked during the web conference, which I caught the next day. When I heard the second “Hub Network’s What’s the Hubbub?” was to feature the new hit series, "Spooksville," I couldn't wait to share with my two nieces, who are huge fans of the show and love Keean Johnson. They gave me questions they would love to have asked of him, which I passed along to the folks at The Hub Network. Then, last night I tried to log on to the conference and watch it live. But, if you have little ones or kids for that matter, then you know that when you plan on something, usually something comes up with the kids and you have a change of plans. Well, that was the case last evening.
While the girls were running around the house like crazy -- they said they were winding down for bed -- yeah, right -- I tried to catch the second “Hub Network’s What’s the Hubbub?” web chat that featured “Spooksville” Star Keean Johnson and Head Writer Jim Krieg. Luckily, I had submitted some questions in advance to have asked, as I wasn't sure if the girls would cooperate and let me participate in the live chat. And, just like when the phone rings, the girls rush over and need to interrupt me, even if they had been quietly entertaining themselves before I picked up the phone, they did the same as soon as they saw me power up the computer.
While I was not able to catch the full chat, which ran a little over an hour, the kind folks at the Hub Network sent along the full chat for me to share with you, as well as so I could see what Jim Krieg's response to my question was.
Here is the full “Hub Network’s What’s the Hubbub?” "Spooksville" web chat that took place last night, in case you are interested in watching it. Fans of the show will love seeing Keean Johnson, and hear his responses to great questions asked by fans of the show and fellow bloggers.
You will hear my question asked of Jim Krieg at 1:00:39 in the video. I wanted to know "If you could write yourself into a comic book story, what super power would you give yourself and who would you like to be fighting crime with?" What do you think Jim said? Watch the video above and find our for yourself. :-)
I can't wait until the next “Hub Network’s What’s the Hubbub?” which will feature "My Little Pony". Can't wait to share more details when they become available with you all. My girls will be so excited for this chat. Maybe this time, they will sit quietly as we listen in. Wishful thinking, right. :-)
