I've worked dozens of red carpets in my life and all of them are basically the same. Publicists lie to me with tip sheets full of no-shows and the promise of A-Listers who only stop on the carpet when they see a step and repeat. There's a reason "What are you wearing?" is the only question you hear during the pre-award show festivities and it's because you don't know who you're talking to, only that they're probably wearing clothes.

In sum, there are a lot of awkward, thankless facets to being Sean Evans and working red carpets is near the top of that list.

Anyway, throw all of that bellyaching out the window when it comes to the BET Awards, because I had an absolute ball. I don't know if you guys know this, but Complex News is famous AF now. We had reporters approach us for selfies, pretty much everyone in the building stopped by to say what's up, and there was a line on the red carpet of celebs waiting to talk to C-News. We're really out here, you clowns.

Per the script, we put our adventure on video for you guys to enjoy. See above and thanks for taking the time.
