The Jimmy Barrett Show

Jimmy Barrett comes to KPRC via Detroit, Mich., and Richmond, Va. where he spent several decades doing mornings. Jimmy was also the longtime public address announcer for Michigan Men's Basketball and the Detroit Tigers. He loves sports and is excited to now be able to root for the Astros, Texans and Rockets. "There aren't a lot of places like Houston," he says, "and we are very excited to be here. You can't choose where you're born, but you can choose where you want to live. We choose to call Texas home." Jimmy and his wife, Elisabeth, have several cats and a South Korean rescue dog named Swiper.

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
