Drew Lachey

Almost 30 years after 98 Degrees' debut album, he's proof that some 90s heartthrobs never really clock out.

But somewhere underneath the white tank top and hair gel, maybe even right next to that tribal armband tattoo, is just a boy in Ohio going through all the same weird teenage milestones you did.

And today, we're going to find that kid.

Welcome to Teen Beat, my guest this week, pop star, champion ballroom dancer, host, and home renovation guru, Drew Lachey.

Hello.

I'm like over here laughing.

Bringing myself to tears.

That was quite the introduction.

I forgot I did some of that stuff.

Right?

Isn't it so nice to get to hear all the accomplishments you've had, or at least some of them read back to you?

Yeah, it makes it sound like my life's been somewhat successful.

It really has.

You've lived a very successful life, both professionally and personally.

But I want to know about maybe the less stellar stuff, some of the awkward, embarrassing, worst moments of teenagehood.

Thank you for doing the show.

I think this is now at least the second time you've been forced to hang out with me.

The first time being in Cancun when I went to visit Lance.

And then the minute I got there, Lance and the rest of the NSYNC boys left.

to do a random new opportunity to perform a show somewhere.
