I think Amelia’s timing and improvisation is what separates her from so many other interviewers. She’s always able to make a moment out of a question, and she’s not afraid to feed off the guest, which is so impressive.

Okay, so I have a huge confession. I went on a few dates with a girl named Katie in 2022. I watch a lot of KZfaq and told her about Chicken Shop Date and Hot Ones. For my birthday, Kate made me a chicken shop date box. FELT AND EVERYTHING! I still have it. It has two chicken drumsticks in it made from dog toys. When I was given it, I always felt like I should make a tweet or a TikTok about it but I've never wanted it to be a viral thing on the internet. But this feels like the perfect time to tell the world. Big ups Katie! Big ups Amelia. Big ups Naomi. 🐔🍗

As someone who's produced TV talk shows forever (I worked at Fallon for nearly 12 years), I've been insanely impressed by Chicken Shop Date which, in the same vein as Hot Ones, really took talk shows into the next generation and I think makes something really, really special. To me, it's the future. And I am so thrilled for her to get this sort of shine. -Gavin P (1/2 of AI for Humans)

@immaterialgir7 7 ай бұрын

I think the thing Bobbi Althoff doesn't manage to do as well as Amelia is the fact that she's endlessly charming & her awkwardness in the interview doesn't feel like she's pretending to be superior or above the people she's "dating" but rather just her personality. You never feel like Amelia isn't on some level interested in who she's talking to, which is nice. Bobbi takes it too far LOL

@ichiban6004 6 ай бұрын

I genuinely feel like Bobbi doesn’t know what she’s doing. I could understand she has her own humour and the uncomfortable nature is I guess the point? But I feel like she’s just genuinely bad at interviewing her guests. She’s not witty at all and even in her rudeness it isn’t appealing in any way..I can’t understand it.

@lqmgsta 7 ай бұрын

I love how Amelia goes over her stories. You can tell how passionate she is about her work/journey/art. Most of all, you can tell how passionate she is about not gatekeeping anything. She’s really the type to outdo herself and help others along the way instead of focusing on what others are doing/letting outside noise affect her. I love how she was self aware enough to find the right work life balance (for herself), to prioritize her creation vs what would get her easy money (not that there’s anything wrong with that), etc. She’s so true to herself. That realness and authenticity very clearly comes out in the work that she puts out. You can’t help but be a fan of her work ethic &/or content (even beyond ChxShop). Just love her 🐔🍗❤️

@noellenn2122 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for this interview. I’ve always loved Amanda’s quirky little show. For me it is by far the most British thing in the universe - the dry humour, the uptightness(?), and ofc, the chicken shop, the most quintessential British establishment imo. To know that amidst all the success, CSD is still kept essentially independent has made me appreciate the show even more and have so much respect for her as a creative. CSD is basically the A24 of KZfaq content.

@Harlieelove 7 ай бұрын

Love hearing Amelia's confidence. I hope she does end up collaborating more and sharing more with the world. Please don't end CSD and certainly not on Drake's episode.

The comment about your producer leaving resonated so much. My best times in my career are always when an amazing person moves onwards and upwards. I always strive to be the dumbest person in the room because the most satisfying success comes from the smarter people you hire around you. I loved this interview so much. I'm going to make my 14 yr old son watch it so he can truly appreciate how hard you have to graft to create success and that it is a continuous cycle of hypothesise, test and learn.

She was so humbled, but what was even nicer was she would chat to normal KZfaqrs. Some people were there and their question was "how many subs have you got?" and if you said an amount that wasn't for them, they moved on quickly. She didn't care, she was always amazing, upbeat and I'm so glad to have got to watch this interview and let the world see how amazing she is in real life
