One Tree Hill star Hilarie Burton says 'all moms' at kids' school have 'crush' on husband

He told People, "[NBC] called... and I said, 'I think you have the wrong person, I live on a farm, and I kill zombies, and I'm a dad, and I'm kind of a pain in the a--.'" He joked, "I'm still not actually completely sure how the hell this happened.

"I am not like a typical host. I'm not Ryan Seacrest - who I love, and I think he's excellent at his job - but that's not me. I'm a bit on the crass side and I've got a very sarcastic sense of humor, and I didn't picture it."

But she said his wife encouraged him to accept the gig, saying, "She said - in a very nice way, but much more diplomatic than I'm going to make it seem now - 'You're not getting any younger.'" Destination X, which is based on a Belgian competition series, follows contestants as they embark on a blacked-out bus across Europe and try to guess their destination by solving various challenges.

Meanwhile, last month, in a touching Father's Day episode of the horror series spinoff Dead City, Lucille, a pivotal figure in Jeffrey's portrayal of Negan on The Walking Dead, made a surprise return. Jeffrey's real-life wife steps into the role of Negan's late wife Lucille, whose presence looms over The Walking Dead despite her character's death prior to the show's events.

Despite her infrequent appearances, Hilarie hasn't ruled out the possibility of returning to the zombie-infested world. In a chat with People, the One Tree Hill actress hinted at her potential return. "Anytime Jeff asks me to do anything, the answer is always yes," Hilarie shared with the publication.

"He pushes me in a good way. And I really like that group of people. We've been with them for so long that it's always a nice reunion," she added. Lucille's legacy extends beyond her on-screen time, as she also inspired the name for Negan's notorious weapon, his lethal bat.
