Bill Bellamy Quotes & Trivia

Quotes

Bill: (On his show, "Fastlane") It's absolutely a full-on, turbo-speed cop show. It's a buddy cop show with the energy of a Miami Vice meets 48 Hours meets Lethal Weapon. We have hot cars, a hot city like L.A., beautiful, sultry women coming in and out of our lives -- some bad, some good. Incredibly bad men who we're trying to bring down. We're trying to bring down the men who think they have it going on. The think they're bigger than the system, and we're bringin' 'em down.

Bill: (On Jenny McCarthy) I remember when we first met, we had to change in the bathroom together. We were doing the MTV Beach House, and we had to get ready to do another show. I was getting changed in the bathroom and they were rushing her, so we both had to do it at like the same time. So she was like, 'is it cool with you?' and I was like, 'it's cool with me, if it's cool with you. Let's go.'

Bill: (On being an MTV VeeJay) Yeah, everybody wanted my job. [In the voice of a 13 year old girl that just saw a Backstreet Boy] "I need that job!" Everybody asked me how I got it, and I was like, 'I don't know.' I was in a comedy club doin jokes and this lady came up and asked me if I knew anything about music, and I was like, 'yeah, I love music,' and she asked me if I would be interested in hosting a show. That lady happened to be Tracy Jordan, the VP of talent relations for MTV. She gave me my first on-air job.

Bill: (On wearing a speedo in a male beauty pageant) Yeah, I had to wear a speedo! And I must have weighed like a buck thirty, lookin' like I was in dire need of a serious turkey dinner. I went out on a limb. I was not Mr. Sexy at all -- I was very skinny and boney.
