Chuck Nice Finally Has a Blog!

See what stand-up comedian Chuck Nice has to say about his new blog for WEtv.com

Wow! I can't tell you how excited I am to be writing a blog for WEtv.com; I've been working with WE tv for five years and it's been an absolute blast. Many of you know me as the host of Cinematherapy, a show where I play a mock therapist traveling the streets of New York City with a mobile office (including a blow-up couch), encouraging women to share their life experiences with me as related to themes we find in a movie. It's kind of like In Treatment but with real women and minus the smolderingly sexy therapist played by Gabriel Byrne. Look, I'll give you that he's much sexier than me, but I'd like to see him make therapy funny. Ha! Take that sexy Gabriel (I just showed him).

This Line of Work Is Great
The really cool thing about this job is meeting so many different women from so many different walks of life. Some walk in stilettos, others walk in flats or sneakers, but they all share these wonderful common traits that bind them together. You'd be surprised at how much a soccer mom from New Jersey has in common with a student from Bed-Stuy, New York, aside from the fear they both have of being mugged. Regardless of their backgrounds, these women seem to respond to some universal themes with little variation. You know where this is going; most women can agree that men are...well, it rhymes with mucked up (oh, it's true and we know it).

I'm Like a Woman
I'm also amazed at how much I have in common with the women that I talk to. Okay, don't think I'm about to dive into some pseudosisterhood dribble about my understanding of women just because I talk to them--that would be like saying that I know how it feels to be Mick Jagger because I once got drunk and soiled the bed of my hotel room (by dumping a flowerpot onto it). I just love that I have so many things in common with the women I interview, from family and parenting issues to relationships to sex. During the course of this blog I'll also have some fun with the things that couldn't make it onto the air, and I'll tell you about some of the crazier moments that happen during the shooting of the show--and believe me, there are plenty. Like the time we interviewed a young woman with the knowledge that the piece would never air, because we didn't have the heart to tell her that in spite of our acceptance of her as a woman, her beard may be a distraction. Awkward, to say the least!

It's All About Me
On Cinematherapy I get women to tell me about their lives; here in this blog, I will tell you about mine. I have never done anything like this and it's a little frightening, for me and everyone who knows me. I usually just ask a question and then get to hide behind a joke, but I won't to do that here. I can't. So I look forward to telling you about my life as it relates to movies and events, just like the women on the show. Oh, how the worm has turned and the hunter is now the prey. God, I'm so dramatic.
