On the Couch (and In the Kitchen) with John Amaechi

When I wrote a few weeks ago about John Amaechi’s new gig as a UK reality show judge, cross-Atlantic copyright law apparently prevented me from linking to a clip of the show. Thankfully, Amaechi ’94 Lib just posted on his Facebook page a link to his recent appearance on Something for the Weekend, a mix of celebrity chat and cooking that airs on BBC Two. The first clip features John talking about his experience as a judge on The Speaker, as well as his NBA career and his work as a psychologist, activist, and speaker.
In the second, John helps a chef make something called “cheesy balls.”

Well, I was afraid that the Cheesy balls thing would come back to haunt me, but in fairness when offered the choice of things to make on the show I was given a choice between “cheesey balls” and a “creme horn.” Either way, I was in trouble.
Thanks Ryan…what a friend.
