\f0\fs24 \cf0 >> Joanne: THE ADVENTURE OF COOK\
ISLANDS MAYBE OVER FOR SURVIVOR\ WINNER YUL KWON.\
YOU CAN SOON CATCH HIM ON HIS\ NEXT ADVENTURE.\
THE TECHNOLOGY EXPERT AND\ \page ATTORNEY IS HOSTING PBS'S\
"AMERICA REVEAL."\ HE WILL LOOK INTO WHAT MAKES\
AMERICA WORK AND MORE.\ THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.\
>> THANK YOU.\ >> Joanne: WHAT IS THIS SHOW\
ABOUT.\ >> A BRAND NEW SERIES ON PBS.\
WE GO AROUND THE COUNTRY\ LEARNING HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS.\
WE ARE LOOKING AT HOW AMERICA\ MAKES FOOD.\
HOW DO PEOPLE TRAVEL AROUND THE\ COUNTRY.\
HOW DO WE GENERATE THE ENERGY\ AND POWER TO POWER OUR LIVES,\
AND HOW DO WE MAKE THINGS.\ >> Joanne: YOU'RE REALLY HANDS\
ON IN THE PROGRAM.\ TELL US ABOUT THE THINGS YOU\
HAVE DONE SO FAR TAPING THE\ SHOW.\
>> IF YOU MEAN HANDS ON, DO I\ GET THROWN OUT OF AIRPLANES.\
YES.\ THE THING WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS\
SEE THE PATTERNS EMERGING.\ BASICALLY A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T\
UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS WHEN YOU\ TURN ON A LIGHT SWITCH THE LIGHT\
COMES ON WHEN YOU ORDER A\ DOMINOS PIZZA HOW DO ALL THE\
INGREDIENTS ARRIVE AT YOUR DOOR\ AT THE RIGHT TIME.\
HALF OF THE SHOW IS SHOWN FROM A\ SUPER HIGH HEIGHT ON TOP OF A\
BUILDING OR AIRPLANE.\ YOU SEE THE THINGS OCCURRING\
BEFORE YOUR EYES.\ WE USE TECHNOLOGY TO CONVEY THE\
INFORMATION IN A WAY YOU HAVEN'T\ SEEN BEFORE.\
>> Joanne: I HAVE READ YOU SKY\ DIVES, REPELLED DOWN A SOLAR\
WINDMILL AND YOU'RE NOT A FAN OF\ HEIGHTS.\
>> I'M TERRIFIED OF HEIGHTS.\ THEY HAD ME PARACHUTING,\
REBELLING.\ \page IT WAS A SCARY EXPERIENCE FOR\
ME.\ WHEN I'M SCREAMING ON TV I'M NOT\
FAKING.\ IT'S REAL.\
>> Joanne: WHAT DO YOU HOPE\ PEOPLE WILL GET OUT OF THE SHOW?\
>> I THINK WHAT, THERE ARE A\ COUPLE OF THINGS I HOPE PEOPLE\
GET OUT OF THE SHOW.\ ONE AN APPRECIATION OF THE\
GRANDEUR AND SCOPE OF THE\ COUNTRY AND SYSTEMS THAT GO ON\
BEHIND THE SCENES YOU DON'T SEE\ THAT MAKE THE COUNTRY WORK.\
ANOTHER THING I HOME GET OUT OF\ THE SHOW IS TO GET GREAT\
INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHALLENGES\ WE FACE.\
WE BUILT GREAT INFRASTRUCTURE TO\ ALLOW THE COUNTRY TO BE WHAT IT\
IS TODAY.\ THEY ARE FACING STRESS.\
THE QUESTION FOR US IS CAN WE\ MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES AND\
INVESTMENTS SO OUR KIDS AND THE\ KIDS AFTER THEM GROW UP IN THE\
SAME COUNTRY WE ENJOY TODAY.\ THE LAST THING I HOPE PEOPLE GET\
OUT OF THE SHOW, THE SHOW IS\ ABOUT SYSTEMS AND INFRASTRUCTURE\
BUT IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE.\ I THINK WHAT I GOT MORE THAN\
ANYTHING ELSE FROM THIS\ EXPERIENCE IS TALKING TO MANY\
DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND\ UNDERSTANDING WE'RE ALL PROUD TO\
BE AMERICAS.\ I TALK TO PEOPLE IN THE DEEP\
SOUTH, ALASKA AND METROPOLITAN\ CITIES.\
THEY HAVE ALL DIFFERENT BACK\ GROUNDS BUT WE UNITE WITH A\
FUNDAMENTAL PRIDE TO BE\ AMERICAN.\
>> Joanne: YOU GREW UP WATCHING\ PBS PROGRAMS.\
THAT'S IN YOUR BUY OH, NOW\ YOU'RE HOSTING THIS SHOW.\
YOU'RE OFF THE FAME OF\ \page "SURVIVOR."\
YOU GET THIS GIG, HOW DOES IT\ FEEL FOR YOU?\
I THINK IT'S FUNNY HOW IT WORKED\ OUT.\
AFTER "SURVIVOR" I WASN'T\ INTERESTED IN MORE TELEVISION.\
I DIDN'T WANT TO GO BACK ON A\ REALITY SHOW.\
I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR\ PBS.\
MY PARENTS IMMIGRATED TO THIS\ COUNTRY.\
THEY WERE DIRT POOR, THEY DIDN'T\ SPEAK EVENING ISH OR HAVE\
RESOURCES.\ THEY COULDN'T AFFORD TO PUT MY\
BROTHER OR ME IN A PRESCHOOL OR\ DAY CARE.\
THE WAY WE LEARNED ENGLISH AND\ THE WAY WE LEARNED TO COUNT WAS\
FROM WATCHING PBS.\ WE WATCHED SESAME STREET, 3, 2,\
1 CONTACT, THE ELECTRIC COMPANY.\ PBS CREATE THAT FIRST RUNG OF\
OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO LIFT\ AMERICAN DREAM.\
WORK HARD, STUDY, GO TO SCHOOL\ AND MAKE A LIFE FOR OUR SHOWS.\
I WANTED TO GIVE BACK.\ >> Joanne: WHAT DOES YOUR FAMILY\
SAY NOW THAT YOU'RE ON PBS?\ >> THEY ARE HAPPY.\
THEY WERE NOT HAPPY ABOUT\ "SURVIVOR."\
THEY LOVE PBS.\ WHEN I TOLD THEM I WAS GOING TO\
BE ON PBS IT REHABILITATED MY\ RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM.\
THEY'RE NOT DISOWNING ME\ ANYMORE.\
>> Joanne: YOU'RE HERE IN SAN\ DIEGO BECAUSE YOU'RE HOSTING THE\
LOCAL HEROES AWARD RECOGNIZING\ PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO MAKE\
A DIFFERENCE.\ PEOPLE CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE TO\
LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NEW\ PROGRAM AIRING.\
THANK YOU, YUL KWON, FOR BEING\ \page HERE.\
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME ON\ THE SHOW.\
I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.\ }
