At last, an interview from Apolo with some new insight or info (well, at least for me!): Story about Tiggie passing away just after Torino Starting his own line of supplements? Interested in a DWTS 'best of the best' series And just as soon as I post this, I check his twiter and find this: img340.yfrog.com/i/bc8f.jpg/ |

Apolo inspired a character in a romance novel!  Source: riskyregencies.blogspot.com/2009/10/amandas-new-book.htmlMegan: What made you cast a Swede--and a dark-haired one at that--as the hero? Amanda: Well, he had a very unusual inspiration--Dancing With the Stars! I always knew my love of that show's ridonkulous costumes and hilariously inappropriate music would be useful someday. A few seasons ago the winner of the mirror ball trophy was Olympic speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno. I had really liked him in the Olympics, but on DWTS he was so cute and charming, and also so fiercely determined to win that fugly trophy. I couldn't figure out how to get a skating hero into an historical romance, until someone said, "Maybe he could be Dutch or something? Didn't they skate?"That's when I remembered two things: 1) The winter of 1564, when Queen Elizabeth had been on the throne for 6 years, was the coldest in memory. The Thames froze through, and at Christmas there was a Frost Fair on the river, complete with booths for food and merchandise, sledding--and skating! 2) In this time period, every eligible bachelor in Europe was after Elizabeth's hand in marriage, including King Eric of Sweden (who later went insane and was deposed by his brother, but that's another story...) He sent delegations to London to woo Elizabeth. And Swedes skate, right? So Anton Gustavson was born. (And since he was half-English, he has dark hair. I didn't know Alexander Skarsgaard then...) Anton is also a soldier, a spy, and a man with secrets. |

Me neither, checked abc, hulu, and youtube.
More than a little curious, though!

Maybe he got bumped, like Matt Damon!
I scanned thru the replay of the entire program and didn't see it...

Apolo was on at the very beginning of Kimmel, before the opening credits. There was a commercial break between the skit and "regular" start of the show. It was a very funny skit and it was nice to see him!
I hope someone posts it somewhere for those who missed it.

After a really tiring day at work, what a nice surprise to see Apolo in a commercial for Dayquil/Nyquil!
