Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, best known as the former MTV veejay Kennedy, is a reality-TV junkie.
That's a good thing, considering she's the host of the Fox Reality Channel's "Reality Remix," a daily update on all things in the world of reality series.
"I love the subject matter. I love reality shows, and I love talking about them," Montgomery told the New York Daily News.
Each day, Montgomery and the staff update the latest news, show highlights of recent shows and interview people booted from reality shows that week.
"I've done all sorts of TV shows," she said. "This allows me to do what I like to do as a host, what I do best, which is commenting and making observations and interviewing people."
Reality-show contestants are less guarded than the people who star on scripted series, Montgomery said.

"There are so many different types of personalities," she said. "The interviews are never boring."
Montgomery broke into the pop-culture arena in the early 1990s as a veejay at MTV. She once drew criticism there when, during one Video Music Awards show, she simulated oral sex with a microphone while standing next to then-New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who was being interviewed by a colleague.
In 2002, she hosted "Friend or Foe," a game show on the Game Show Network. And in 2004, she began appearing on VH1's "Best Week Ever."
Now she's spending her days — and nights — gabbing about reality shows and raising her 6-year-old daughter.
"I do watch reality TV every night," she said, noting "Survivor," "The Apprentice" and "Breaking Bonaduce" as favorites.
"I loved 'Breaking Bonaduce,' " she said of VH1's show about Danny Bonaduce, best known for his role on the "The Partridge Family" in the 1970s. "I was amazed it made it on TV. It was so raw, so disturbing. You can't make this (stuff) up. His marriage was dissolving."
Despite her experience in the entertainment business, don't expect Montgomery to turn up as a participant on a reality show anytime soon.
"I don't know if I would last," she said. "I don't have the stomach for 'Fear Factor.' And I'm not interesting enough to have a camera crew follow me around."
