But as America hit a boil and erupted in protest, it just didn\u2019t feel right for it to go live at the time.<\/p>\n<p>As black squares were filling our Instagram feeds, Bargh and I did still go ahead with our scheduled Zoom call that Tuesday afternoon \u2013 but it was impossible to begin any sort of chat without addressing what was happening in real time in her adopted home of Los Angeles in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a heavy time and its really strange watching it all unravel from afar,&#8221; says Bargh. \u201cI couldn\u2019t feel further away from it all right now. A lot of my friends and people I really love and respect are directly impacted by what\u2019s going on so I\u2019ve honestly been spending my days speaking with them and trying to figure out how I can do better. I\u2019ve been reading and researching as much as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the uninitiated, Bargh is the co-host of American television show <a href=\"https:\/\/extratv.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Extra<\/em><\/a> and the Attico-clad new co-host of season nine of <a href=\"https:\/\/9now.nine.com.au\/the-voice\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Voice Australia<\/em><\/a>. When we talk about women who have done really well in the entertainment space overseas, we often reference the 33-year-old \u2013 and the fact she grew up in Byron Bay makes the tale that little bit sweeter. After all, Australia loves to brag about the successes of a homegrown.<\/p>\n<p>A trusted and reliable communicator of all things celebrity, Bargh is often in prime position at every award season red carpet or film junket. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Lopez are just two of the slew of elites who will be ushered to Bargh at any event on any given day for a chat; her beautiful, spritely energy tip-toeing to the line but never over it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_174928\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-174928\" style=\"width: 3253px\" class=\"wp-caption alignfull -width\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-174928 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GettyImages-1200681795.jpg\" alt=\"Renee Bargh\" width=\"3253\" height=\"4500\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-174928\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA &#8211; JANUARY 19: Renee Bargh attends the 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at The Shrine Auditorium on January 19, 2020 in Los Angeles, California.

In the last couple of years alone, Bargh has hosted <em>Extra<\/em> in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and the subsequent #MeToo movement. She\u2019s spoken to black actors amid fierce uproar of their non-representation on Oscar nomination lists. Coronavirus hit \u2013 and if the rise of streaming and the decline in box office tickets meant the future of cinema was already blurred, then the pandemic amplified those anxieties ten-fold as cinemas across North America, and indeed the world, turned dark. Film premieres have gone. Broadway is shuttered. Red carpets are non-existent. Celebrities are still indoors with bad WiFi connections.<\/p>\n<p>And so we get to today and the #BlackLivesMatter movement is underway.<\/p>\n<p>Quarantining from a hotel in Sydney, Bargh discusses how she prepares to talk to the biggest names in Hollywood, the challenges of reporting celebrity culture in these sensitive times and what the entertainment world may look like post COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"price-style\"><a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/the-post-emmys-report-with-extras-renee-bargh\/\">READ: The Post-Emmys Reports with EXTRA&#8217;s Renee Bargh<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_174959\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-174959\" style=\"width: 3600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignfull -width\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-174959 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GettyImages-1090818932.jpg\" alt=\"Renee Bargh\" width=\"3600\" height=\"2400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-174959\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA &#8211; JANUARY 06: Renee Bargh attends the 76th Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 06, 2019 in Beverly Hills, California.

How have you gone about absorbing what is happening where you live?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>RENEE BARGH: \u201cWhat I\u2019ve learned since being in America is there\u2019s such a long history of racial injustice in that country \u2013 and not only in America, but here in Australia too \u2013 and I think the first step is recognizing that and acknowledging that and then asking ourselves what can we do. How can we ensure we\u2019re not part of the problem? I understand why people are fed up. They\u2019ve been having this conversation for way too long so I really hope that this incites change. I\u2019ve been glued to the news<em>\u00a0<\/em>and I\u2019m trying to do as much work as I can in terms of listening to the right people. I think that\u2019s all we can really do; listen and take action where we can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the past couple of years \u2013 and particularly now \u2013 so much of the media spotlight has focused in on social and political unrest and injustices. You have hosted red carpets in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, you\u2019ve interviewed female actors during the #MeToo movement, you\u2019ve spoken to black actors who should have made the Oscars nomination lists \u2013 and didn\u2019t \u2013 and you\u2019ve had to host <em>Extra<\/em> via a video link during a pandemic. The entertainment industry has had to be so careful that the reporting of celebrity is sensitive to the social climate. How has your role as an entertainment reporter evolved\/changed over the past couple of years?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWow, that\u2019s a really good question. What I think is really important about being in this field at this time is having a platform. I feel really privileged to have this platform and have the ability to have those conversations and use this opportunity to have the right people take the stage to speak. What I\u2019ve learned as an Australian in America is just to listen. Let their stories be the stories that need to be told. It\u2019s a privilege to be able to do that kind of work. At the end of the day, that\u2019s what we\u2019re all here for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"quotation-style\">\u201cWe want to be part of the change, we want to make an impact and you don\u2019t get to do that if you\u2019re just interviewing actors about their movies. There\u2019s bigger and more important things at play.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>I think as well, it\u2019s not enough in this day and age to just be a smiley girl on the carpet: You have to be smart, your questions have be of substance, you have to be researched and you have to be able to hold that banter to camera if your subject pulls you up on something \u2013 or alternatively gives you nothing! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think people think that it\u2019s a job that\u2019s way easier than it looks. And it\u2019s not. I\u2019m a huge advocate of studying and doing the research and I\u2019m never somebody who just wings it. I just think there\u2019s no amount of research that is enough \u2013 even if you\u2019re just going to a junket for an animated movie, I make sure I see the movie, I read through everything I can and Google every actor that is involved. We\u2019re so lucky to be in that position, you\u2019ve got to do the work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you prepare for an interview?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt differs depending on who I\u2019m interviewing. At this point, I\u2019ve been in LA for ten years so most of these people I have interviewed several times. I have a rapport or I know them pretty well so sometimes, in that case, the preparation isn\u2019t as great because I know their life story and their biography and everything about them. In most cases, if it\u2019s for a premiere or junket, I always see the movie and if I can, I\u2019ll see any other movies the actors are in. Instagram has been a great source for us. If I look at Instagram right before someone comes in, that can give you an advantage. If someone else has written the questions a couple of hours before, they don\u2019t know. Thanks to social media, it\u2019s pretty easy to be up on what people are doing\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1280px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-645-2\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" poster=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-03-at-2.44.18-PM-Cropped.png\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Q4-1.mp4?_=2\" \/><\/video><\/div>\n<p><strong>What would you say are your biggest challenges in your role, things people may not know?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe waiting around. The thing is, people think it\u2019s super glamorous. Usually, and you would know this, crew get there a couple of hours before a red carpet starts and they do a lockdown type of thing \u2013 and you have to be there before that starts. Actors can come for two or three hours sometimes, and you\u2019re just standing there in your heels waiting patiently. Sometimes it\u2019s really cold, sometimes it\u2019s late at night. When you go and do set visits, you\u2019re at the actor&#8217;s mercy, they don\u2019t care if you need to get in and out. I\u2019ve been on set visits for 11 hours to do one interview.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s long? Sitting through the blind auditions of <em>The Voice\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe blind auditions are super long! Those audience members are dedicated. I didn\u2019t find them to be long because I was running on adrenaline and so excited and so happy to be there. It was funny, it would get to 11pm at night and I\u2019d been there since 7am and they\u2019d be like, \u2018You\u2019ve got to go home, we can\u2019t keep you here,\u2019 and I\u2019d be like, \u2018No, I don\u2019t want the day to end!\u2019 I just loved it so much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"quotation-style\">\u201cPeople really do think we live this glamorous life like the actors do. And no. They live the glamorous lives, we\u2019re the ones behind-the-scenes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve posted photos of me with my shoes off, because I\u2019ve got blisters all over my feet and I\u2019m sitting there on a milk crate behind my camera crew trying to shovel some food down my throat. It\u2019s not glamorous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>I think people don\u2019t realize that yes, you can sit in hair and makeup and get loaned a beautiful gown but after the premiere is done, you have to actually go and do a job and file the story. People don\u2019t see the research or the editing process. What do you think Awards Season might look like in America in 2021? Will we have big premieres and events?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t imagine what it\u2019s going to be like. I saw some images released a couple of weeks ago which is what they were planning to do [on red carpet premieres]. They are thinking of having big plexiglass dividers between each entertainment outlet, far fewer publications which is really sad because there will be less coverage and reporters being six-feet away from the subject. But I\u2019m really hopeful by 2021 that things are far better and maybe at that point, we just keep distance and we don\u2019t shake hands or hug.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"quotation-style\">\u201c[In the post-COVID world] I would be thankful not to be crammed into those press areas [on red carpets]. That scrum is very close quarters. I don\u2019t think that can be the case anymore.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut what we\u2019ve discovered is we\u2019ve been filming our entire show over Zoom. What we\u2019ve seen is that works and people are happy to do interviews from the comfort of their own home. So that\u2019s a positive but I\u2019m really interested to see what a red carpet is going to look like. It\u2019s hard to imagine right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What other ways did the pandemic change your line of work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cProximity to your co-hosts. We never get close anymore. I\u2019ve been doing my own hair and makeup for the past three months, I haven\u2019t had anyone touch my face. I\u2019ve been doing my own microphoning just because we couldn\u2019t have any contact. That was all really different. I\u2019ve been doing a lot from home by myself. I\u2019m used to mingling and sitting and eating with the crew from the office and we all just kind of separated. With Zoom, I\u2019d do interviews from night at home, in the morning from home. In sweat pants. It\u2019s weird [laughs].<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_174933\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-174933\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignfull -width\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-174933 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GettyImages-1179852530.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"3000\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-174933\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BURBANK, CALIFORNIA &#8211; OCTOBER 08: Renee Bargh visits &#8220;Extra&#8221; at Burbank Studios on October 08, 2019 in Burbank, California.

He knows exactly what you\u2019re going to use.

I love him.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1280px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-645-3\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" poster=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-03-at-2.25.07-PM-Cropped.png\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/7f5b6950-e18e-495d-8501-85086cd9ade6-1.mp4?_=3\" \/><\/video><\/div>\n<p><strong>Now, when you do go to a film junket, you usually don\u2019t have a lot of time with the actors. It could be ten minutes so there\u2019s not a lot of room for banter. Do you have any secret tips for earning brownie points with celebrities before or after your interviews?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOooh. That\u2019s a good one. I mean I\u2019m big on respecting the work. So for instance, when journalists go to a junket, especially for a TV show, they might watch one episode and that will be it. I am somebody who will watch the entire season even if they\u2019re like, \u2018You don\u2019t need to\u2019. If there\u2019s a book, I\u2019ll also read the book. I did that recently with Reese [Witherspoon] and Kerry [Washington, for their show <em>Little Fires Everywhere<\/em>]. I watched the entire season. I remember telling them before we began rolling \u2018Oh my god, the way it ended, I read the book and I thought this was going to happen\u2026\u2019 and they were both like, \u2018What? You watched the whole thing? That\u2019s so cool!\u2019 You could tell that they were genuinely thankful. I\u2019m not into sucking up to people. I think it\u2019s just a genuine level of respect \u2013 and you\u2019re always going to be respected if you do your homework. That\u2019s what I would want. And look, you can\u2019t always do it. There are so many shows and movies, it\u2019s impossible to be up on all of them but if you\u2019ve got an allotted ten minutes with someone, you can do the right thing and see as much as you can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s been a nice and unexpected silver lining that you\u2019ve found during the pandemic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, honestly, it\u2019s been able to come home to Australia. I was really worried for a minute that I wouldn\u2019t be able to come back. I feel really grateful and thankful to be an Australian citizen. This country is incredible and beautiful. The other silver lining is that even though I live on the other side of the world, I feel far more connected to my friends and family than I have. I\u2019m communicating so much better, so much more. I think with everything that\u2019s happening, we\u2019re having difficult conversations. I feel like my friends and family are all diving deeper into our own consciousness and the work we can do on ourselves as humans and for humanity. I think that\u2019s been a really beautiful silver lining.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>That\u2019s a very good answer. When we talk about entertainment reporters in Australia, you are it Renee. You have done so well and you should be really proud of yourself. Were there moments of self-doubt, where maybe you thought, \u2018My contract won\u2019t be renewed\u2019 or \u2018I mucked up in that interview\u2019 \u2013 and how did you get through them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes! Multiple times. I think like a lot of people, I suffer from imposter syndrome. When I started out, I really had no credentials, I really had no right to be on the Oscars red carpet two months into landing in LA. I\u2019d worked on <em>Channel V<\/em> [in Australia] but I\u2019d never interviewed A-list stars and there I was on the Oscars red carpet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"quotation-style\">\u201cI honestly had a moment walking down the [Oscars] carpet where I was like, \u2018The security guards are going to grab me and pull me off and tell me to go home, I should not be here.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1280px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-645-4\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" poster=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-03-at-3.53.32-PM-Cropped.png\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Q3-1.mp4?_=4\" \/><\/video><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had so many interviews where I\u2019ve screwed up because I\u2019m human. As much as you do the research and you do everything you can \u2013 I\u2019ve been on red carpets, you\u2019ve been on red carpets, when you\u2019re at the Emmys, the Globes, the SAGS, the Oscars \u2013 people are coming at you so fast and furiously, one person after the other, you\u2019re bound to make a mistake. I\u2019ve definitely asked the wrong actress about a movie that they weren\u2019t in. I\u2019ve asked somebody about dating somebody and they been like, \u2018What are you talking about?\u2019 I\u2019ve had those moments. You cringe and you want to fall into the Earth. It\u2019s like, \u2018Please just swallow me up, I want to disappear and go away.\u2019 But at the end of the day, I always remind myself that I\u2019m human and these experiences are really humbling and I can\u2019t be perfect, I\u2019m so far from it. Watching your interviews back is really important. Wherever you made a mistake, that is an opportunity for growth. I\u2019ll beat up on myself for a few minutes and then that\u2019s enough, no more.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7jP8rSppBo\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

I love people. I have such a curiosity for humans and why they do the things they do. And human connection. Ever since I was little, my mum said I would be the kid who would climb up onto a strangers table at a restaurant and start chatting away because I\u2019ve always been curious. I want to know what makes people tick and I want people to feel more connected. I think that\u2019s part of our role in entertainment reporting. These people have a huge fan base and all the fans want to know is more about them. They want to get to the heart and soul of this person and I want to be the middle woman who connects them to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1280px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-645-5\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" poster=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-03-at-2.22.47-PM-Cropped.png\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Q2-1.mp4?_=5\" \/><\/video><\/div>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s talk about <em>The Voice<\/em>. How on earth did you do that deal with <em>Extra<\/em> to let you also host another show on the other side of the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me just say my boss Lisa Gregorisch-Dempsey is an angel. She became my fairy godmother in this situation because she knew for the last ten years that I have been incredibly homesick. It\u2019s something that I\u2019ve been saying year-after-year, \u201cI love LA and I want to be in LA but I love my family and my home.\u201d Every Christmas I would go home and I\u2019d come back and they\u2019d say, \u2018You want to move back, don\u2019t you.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Mmm, kind of. But I\u2019m just waiting for the right job\u2019. So the job came up and I literally called my boss and I said, \u2018You\u2019re not going to like this but I\u2019ve been offered to host <em>The Voice<\/em>\u2019 and I was so nervous to tell her. I wasn\u2019t prepared for her to say no. I just couldn\u2019t let that be an answer. And she straight away said, \u2018Well you\u2019ve got to do it. This is such an incredible opportunity.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Does that mean I have to leave?\u2019 And she said, \u2018No, we\u2019ll figure it out.\u2019 So they did. They\u2019ve had another co-host come in and fill in for me and have been checking in on me every day and have been incredibly supportive. I feel really lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CAhOGglHA-k\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

It\u2019s weird when it\u2019s something you\u2019ve talked about for so long and you\u2019ve dreamed about. The weirdest part about stepping onto that set the first day was that it felt like coming home. It felt so comfortable. Delta [Goodrem] is the most supportive friend and when I was standing up there doing what I needed to do, she\u2019d be clapping and smiling. Kelly [Rowland] has become a friend and is so lovely and Guy [Sebastian] and I go really far back. He was so happy that I was there. Darren [McMullen] and I have also known each other for about 12 or 13 years so it all just felt like a family experience. Even when I would get my makeup done, I\u2019d text Delta and ask if she was free and I\u2019d go and hang out in her trailer. It was so nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does Australian television productions differ to American sets?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>The Voice Australia<\/em> is honestly one of the biggest and most impressive sets I\u2019ve ever been on. I was blown away. I think you come home and expect everything to be smaller, because Australia is smaller. I honestly was like, \u2018What is happening?\u2019 It\u2019s on such a global level in terms of how professional and how shiny it is. The producers that are involved have been doing this for nine seasons now so it\u2019s a well-oiled machine. It\u2019s amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>I read you\u2019re a certified health coach. How do you start your days? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I open my eyes, I meditate. That has become part of my daily practice. I do 20 minutes \u2013 ideally before I check my phone because that can just send me into a whole other spiral or place. I then go through emails and drink hot water with lemon or some sort of warm tonic with lots of crazy things like ashwagandha and cacao. And then I\u2019ll shower, get changed, get out the door and get to work. I have girlfriends who will wake up two hours before they have to leave the house. I\u2019m like a 20-40 minutes girl. I make my tonic to go in the car because I want to sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"price-style\"><em>The Voice<\/em> continues every Sunday at 7pm and Mondays at 7.30pm on Nine and 9Now<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":646,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Renee Bargh On Her Career Rise + The Evolution Of Celebrity Reporting In America<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In the land of entertainment reporting, business has new variables.
