As a professional tennis coach, a beloved reality TV star, and an absolute hunk, one might argue that former Bachelor Joey Graziadei doesn’t really need to add more items to his resume. Most guys I know would happily accept that lot and coast on their newfound C-list fame while celebrating their engagement, but not Joey. As promised during his Bachelor season finale, our favorite leading man returned to our screens on Thursday night, showing off a new skill. He staged his acting debut in a very funny episode of 9-1-1.
When FOX’s bonkers first-responder drama moved to ABC, showrunner Tim Minear promised fans a crossover event. Naturally, however, he refrained from telling us which other show would feature. Then, we got that miraculous teaser.
In terms of details, this teaser gave us basically nothing. My anticipation, however, was through the roof. Would Joey be playing a character who just happens to share his love for a maroon suit, or would he appear as himself? Would any of his contestants make it onto the show, or would he be surrounded by actresses wearing Revolve? And just how much screen time would Joey get on what was sure to become the most dramatic episode of 9-1-1 ever!
