Johanna Griggs says the funniest part of the Logies for her is when the Better Homes and Gardens team walks the red carpet.
“The red carpet at the Logies is always a very interesting moment, because obviously we’re not Home and Away,” she said.
“We spend most of our red carpet where people go, ‘Oh yeah, can you move along?’ So we have the absolute roar of laughter going down the red carpet.
“It’s a pretty humbling experience.”
Better Homes and Gardens is in line to win best lifestyle program at the Logies on Sunday night.
The popular Channel 7 TV show is up against against Nine’s Do You Want To Live Forever? and Travel Guides, and the ABC’s Gardening Australia, Grand Designs Australia and Restoration Australia.
The BHAG host said she was “always so thrilled to be nominated”.
“I feel like when you get the nod for a Logies nomination, it’s like validation of all (the team’s) hard work, and so there’s a real sense of pride in the show,” Griggs said.
“Do I think that we’ll win? I never, ever, ever think we will win.
“It would be a really lovely surprise, but, at the end of the day, that’s completely and utterly out of our hands.
“We always have a great night, because these days, with budget cuts, we only sort of get together about half a dozen times throughout the year, and the Logies is one of them.”
In addition to the red carpet, Griggs’ other highlights of the evening include listening to the speeches and Sam Pang, who returns as host for the third time.
“I love seeing the speeches, like the highlights for me the last couple of years have been Sam Pang’s hosting,” she said.
“I thought he’s been so refreshing and not mean at all in his hosting. And if he doesn’t get something 100 per cent right, he just totally owns it.”
Better Homes has been on air for 31 years and has won 13 Logies, including Adam Dovile’s win of best new talent in 2015.
Griggs attributes the show’s long-lasting success to its positivity and variety over the years.
She said beloved viewers were very passionate with praise and recounted a recent run-in with a member of the public at a supermarket.
“I walked in, a man just said to me, ‘Oh my gosh, I think I know you’. And I was like, ‘Oh, that’s so kind’. And he said, ‘My family, we love your show because we get so sick of watching shows where people are fighting and everyone’s angry at each other, or you click on the news and it’s so sad and there’s all these horrible atrocities’. He says, ‘We just love that your show’s positive.’”
“I think the show has a comfort value for them. I think it has definitely a nostalgic value for them. Because often people tell us they used to watch it with their grandparents or with their parents as kids.”
Griggs said she was proud to be involved in the show where no week was the same and full of people who “genuinely love what we do”.
