Before ever stepping foot on the set of “Access Hollywood,” Kit Hoover was a stay-at-home mom.

She had her time on television and was now dedicating every free moment she had to her family.

“The joke is that I told my agents to hold all calls.

I was going to take a beat, but nobody was calling.”

By this point, she had adjusted to her slower paced life out of the spotlight.

Hoover had no plans of that ever changing either.

She was just happy to be able to have some vacation time to herself.

Instead, she expected to be back home to her kids in Connecticut by the end of the week.

“I was so bad,” she explained of her audition.

“They had an earpiece in.

It kept popping out.

I had self-tanned my legs, and they were slippery.”

“And, all of a sudden, I was like, ‘Do y’all like me?

Because I am not moving to California.'”

“I came out with the three babies, and we started this boondoggle,” Hoover said.

“Yeah, and 11 years later, I’m still here.”
