Ben Schwerin, my well-traveled friend, always seems to send me to people who end up staying in my life no matter what country they are in, so when Ben said I should meet his friend Max Markson from Sydney I knew I had to get to it. Lucky for me Max happened to be in Melbourne with MC Hammer at the same time I was there for my quick stint.

Jay Leno Moment: Go see Rove.

November 8, 2009November 30, 2009 Angie1Tagged 30before30, angie banicki, Australia, Jay Leno, Rove

Since Jay Leno has never been to Sydney, my Jay Leno moment was to see the “Jay” of Australia-Rove. As a former intern for David Letterman and Conan O’Brian this moment was one that hit close to home. I love a cute comedy genius-and Rove was that and more. 🙂 Quick, witty, and personable. We laughed our way through his show.

Milo quote: Australia was an incredibly short trip. I was there for 2 and a half days and spent most of it in hotel rooms doing press for the show. I did get out for a 6 mile run around sydney harbor at 6am one morning (woulda been the afternoon back home so I was awake).
