(Soaps in Depth Interview–Erin & Brian Presley, June 10-24, 2003—The Next American Idol)

Erin Hershey Presley (Alison) readily admits that she can't carry a tune, but that never stopped her from enjoying AMERICAN IDOL.  "[During the first season] it was a big joke in the makeup room about who watched it and who did but wouldn't admit it," she says, noting that husband Brian Presley (Jack) poked fun at the series' fans.  This past season, however, it was different story.  "Brian was always saying, "Hurry up, Erin, your show is on."  And if I switched channels during commercials, he'd say, "Turn it back!"  Hershey Presley giggles.  It got to the point that the newlyweds created a home version!  "[During commercials] Brian looks at me, and I have to bust out singing like Carol Channing.  And even though he can sing, he pretends that he's this character named Carl who talks funny," she grins.  "We'll each think we're the best, and then it's like, "Shut up and sit down; it's back o."  It's so fun!"
