Excitement 'builds' for 'LEGO Masters Jr.'
Young brick-builders are teaming up with celebrities to show off their LEGO skills in the new ''LEGO Masters Jr.'' Paul Milliken got to visit the set here in metro Atlanta, and he talked with host Kelly Osbourne about all the fun.
ATLANTA - Paul talks to Porsha Williams and Kelly Osbourne ahead of LEGO Masters Jr:
Ask Kelly Osbourne about her experience filming the new FOX series "LEGO Masters Jr." here in metro Atlanta, and you’ll get a very quick answer.
"It has been one of the most pure, beautiful, and refreshing experiences of my life," says the television personality, who hosts the long-awaited series. Good Day Atlanta interviewed the host more than a year ago, during a special set visit to the show.
"LEGO Masters Jr." finally premieres tonight on FOX 5 Atlanta, and features an incredible group of young LEGO builders (all between the ages of 9 and 17) paired with celebrities and competing in a series of weekly creative challenges. It’s a spin-off of the popular FOX hit "LEGO Masters," of course — and Osbourne says the inclusion of young people makes it an even more compelling and emotional viewing experience.
"A brick — I say this all the time — can just be a brick of LEGO to one person. But to them, it’s the beginning of a universe," says the host. "[The contestants] are so passionate and so talented and so much fun, and want to be there. There’s no ego in the room, and their imagination is endless."
