"One of the best parts about working on AW was that I got to live in NYC. I had never even visited NY prior to the show. My favorite storyline was the love triangle between Matt, Jenna, and Dean. The fans got so wrapped up in who they wanted to see together that it was very amusing to hear about. This was also one of the funniest memories from the show. The fans were very committed to this storyline, and were very opinionated at all the fan club events."
