The very first taping of the new talk show ‘Pickler & Ben’ featuring country artist Kellie Pickler and Ben Aaron (who happens to be married to Good Morning America Chief Metrologist Ginger Zee) wrapped in Nashville on Wednesday.
The project was created and produced by GRAMMY award-winning artist Faith Hill, along with the former executive producer of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” Lisa Erspamer and president and CEO of Sandbox Entertainment Jason Owen.
We were able to attend the taping on Wednesday, and while we can’t share any photos or video, we can tell you one thing. Faith Hill may not appear on camera, but as you watch behind the scenes she is actively involved with the show, there was even an appearance on set by her country superstar husband, Tim McGraw.
In a press release, Pickler says,“We will bring a little bit of southern charm and inspiration to our viewers, alongside insights from top tastemakers and experts in many areas,” “Kellie is very much southern while Ben is everything New York – complete opposites but together their chemistry is magic, and our viewers are going to love them,” said Hill.
