Secrets of New York

2006_04_arts_sony.jpg

We caught a commercial for Secrets of New York on Channel 25 last night and were intrigued by what the show has to offer. While the host looks like an extra from The Matrix, the subject matter is interesting. Exploring what lies beneath our feet and within our walls (there are probably way more Molly the cats than we even want to think about), New York’s oldest bridge, what secrets are buried in the oldest cemetery, stories behind the skyscrapers and the history of the city's slammers. Not to mention hidden treasures! Land pirates get ready to do some searching. This one episode summary sort of freaks us out though:

Paranormal New York: Enigmatic and Unexplainable Mysteries Venture into Gotham’s scary paranormal history to uncover haunted secrets, eerie phenomena and other thought provoking mysteries unexplained by science. Investigate the legends surrounding some of New York City’s most chilling anomalies and oddities.

Get some new views of the city...the show airs on channel 25 Tuesdays at 8pm, Wednesdays at 10:30pm, Saturdays at 9pm. You can watch the commerical here.

    The show has an interesting premise but the host just doesn't fit. Yes, she is quite beautiful but the spans to and from her while giving some excerpt of information doesn't seem plausible coming from her? She has an an overly dramatic tone which makes me feel like "oh please".

    You need a native NY'er that carrier the personality and style of New York.

    Just my simple opinion on as a first time viewer.

    Kelly is a big star. she was supposed to host Top Chef when Padme's contact was up w/ Bravo after season 2...

    i work at a nightclub in NY called the PINK ELEPHANT. Well this girl--KELLY CHOI--walked in and was soooo nice--sooo sweet and down to earth--i couldn't believe it was really her ! And when she walked in thru the corrider--it was like watching a movie being filmed right in front of me.( no matrix jacket ) She is stunning in person and just so personable you forget for a while your staring at a beautiful woman. but not for long. I can't imagine this girl staying " local" for long. And if you ever see her eating show it's great TV! Its so refreshing to watch a girl enjoy--really enjoy eating you can't rip off your wedding ring fast enough and throw it down the sink as her smile & sense of humor woo u! BIG FAN! this girl is going places--and we knew her when--on local tv in nyc. 1 in a million girl.

    According to the IMDb website, Kelly was in born Seoul, Korea in Feb. 1976 making her 31 years old. She is 5'10"! It's hard to tell how tall she is since she doesn't stand next to anyone. I watch the show on a PBS station in LA.

    I think Kelly's Korean, her face is too fine for Chinese or Japanese. And I'm glad someone else noticed to continuous repeating shows. Looks like the talent pool ran dry, though they started airing some new mini-shows.

    Does anyone know if NYC TV's shows are really getting cancelled? Or is this just speculation?

    On the other hand, I have noticed that except for the runway shows, everything else is all reruns.

    nyc tv management are despicable bottom feeders. they are egregious egomaniacs and have no respect for their staff. i'm surpised the whole thing is still pretending to function.

    Has anyone noticed the way Kelly Choi will walk from one spot to the next during an episode? Watch each step, it's almost as if she's sending a coded message in Morse Code!

    "NYC Media Group would never have become the big big thing that it is today without a little bit of ego on the part of its Management."

    Become what? NYCTV has become the lowest rated station in our region and the laughing stock of public broadcasting.

  • PAL2

    I don't detect any plastic surgery. I think Kelly looks like millions of other asian chicks

  • kelly

    Kelly looks so plastic and hard to look at for a long period of time. Plastic surgery much? Also, her sing song voice is very annoying. everything sounds like a question. the shows is interesting but it can use another host.

  • PAL

    Kelly Choi definitely has a Toyota compact booty

  • PAL

    I would say toyota lexus or nissan headlights but I don't think she's japanese and china don't make cars so i say hyundai or kia. But korean cars sound cheap.........hmm

  • PAL (Perverted Asian Lover)

    plumbers crack and Hyundai headlights

    Christina (comment #72) sounds like an angry feminist. I think Kelly Choi's outfits need to be more revealing. Kelly should show more nippleage and cleavage. I'd like to see her show some plummers crack.
