While speaking to TV Fanatic to promote both Halloween Wars and Battle of the Decades, Jonathan shared that he met Jaymes while promoting one of the early seasons of Halloween Wars and one of their first conversations revolved around a pumpkin carver.

“We have the pumpkin carvers, and we’re going back to a little bit more of the original format of the show in many ways with the host and the judges and then also keeping it fresh with new stuff on the show, where we have different ways of eliminating the teams this season,” he teased about what fans could expect.

It was then when Jonathan reminded how horrible he is at pumpkin carving, but still is grateful for the tool.

“I am the worst. I am horrible. I’m horrible at carving pumpkins. However, the pumpkin carvers will always have a special place in my heart not only because of the magic work that they do on these pumpkins but because I met my husband promoting Halloween Wars.”

He continued, “I met him promoting Halloween Wars with a pumpkin carver. One of our pumpkin carvers and I went on Jaymes‘ show, Celebrity Page, to promote the season finale of Halloween Wars.”

“I will always associate and have a love for pumpkin carving. Because without taking a pumpkin carver on TV to promote the show, I wouldn’t have met my husband.”

Halloween Wars will premiere Sunday, September 17 at 9 p.m. on Food Network.
