Scott Patrick‘s TV show “Hollywood One on One” just aired its 900th episodea long time in TV-ville.
Patrick started the star-struck interview series when he was the entertainment reporter for 9News. It debuted in July 1991 featuring “Terminator 2” and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The 900th show featured “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.”
“Showing you that the show could continue as long as they keep making sequels in Hollywood,” says Patrick in an e-mail.
He started producing the show himself in 1995. Now he has 14,000 interviews in his library. The show is still produced in Denver. And his marriage to KYGO’s Kelly Ford has lasted longer than the show. Twenty years. This guy is on a roll.
So why has it prevailed? “I have always let the stars be the stars,” Patrick says.
His favorite interviewees: Will Smith, Robin Williams and Meryl Streep.
Not to mention Gregory Peck, Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Jack Nicholson.
The worst?
No contest.
“Most who do this for a living will tell you it’s Tommy Lee Jones. In fact, it’s been discussed that a movie studio needs a therapist waiting outside the interview room, to minimize lasting psychological damage after doing an interview with Tommy Lee Jones.”
And there was the time a publicist begged Patrick to interview a small-part actor in the flick “Thelma & Louise” and told him to hold on to the tape because the guy was gonna be big. It was Brad Pitt.
She’s alive!

They can dance.

Tune into KOA-AM (850) this afternoon to hear your old pal Steve Kelley, sitting in for Dave Logan on “The Ride Home.” Kelley, who left Fox 31 in December, has been subbing at KOA and KYGO. And he is looking for a full-time gig — and a paycheck.
He loves being back on KOA, his home for many years, even if it’s temporary. “I get to go home and play,” he says. “And it’s fun.”
City spirit.
