Louie, Take a Look at This!: My Time with Huell Howser

An “insightful” portrait of Huell Howser, California’s favorite tour guide, by his longtime cameraman and partner in crime: “It’s amaaaazing” (Adam Carolla).
 
Huell Howser, the exuberant, hugely popular host of California’s Gold and other public-television shows, was always exclaiming to the camera in his Southern drawl, “Louie, take a look at this!” Now, three years after Howser’s death, Louie—aka Luis Fuerte, a five-time Emmy-winning cameraman—shares the stories of their adventures exploring California, making great television, and showcasing Howser’s infectious love for the Golden State.
 
During their twelve years together, Howser and Fuerte developed not just a great working relationship, but a true friendship. Genuinely interested in the people he interviewed and fascinated by the history of his adopted state, Howser led the way from the Mother Lode to the Inland Empire, and from Haight Street to Sunset Boulevard, as the duo uncovered everything that makes California special. In this charming and informative book, Fuerte recounts some of their greatest discoveries, reveals the secrets of their success, and pays tribute to the man who struck gold wherever he looked.
