So many people have asked me “Miss Niecy, why are you leaving Clean House”? Here’s the thing, I LOVED HOSTING CLEAN HOUSE! I lead the charge for nine seasons and worked along side of some great people – Michael Moloney, Allen Lee Half, Linda Koopersmith, Matt Iseman, Trish Suhr, and Mark Brunetz. In any combination it was a good time! There were so many things that I didn’t get to do in my career while hosting the show. And after hosting the show for almost a decade, I decided it was time for change. Things can’t change AND stay the same. I miss my Clean House fans already:(

People are also asking me who the new host is and what I think about him/her? I think the network wants it to be a surprise but there are a few of you who are guessing correctly! There was a Twitter conversation about the new replacement being a former Cosby kid and you’re right! – I won’t tell you which one though….

My thoughts? I know I have jazzy stilettos to fill, but it can be done! Many have said they won’t watch the show with a new host. I would say give it a try first before you rush to judgment. It might be a little rough for a few episodes because as a host you have to find your own way with a show that has already been branded and stamped with my personal mayhem & foolishness. The key to finding magic as the host  of this show is to have a real desire to want to help the families and you have to comfortable in your skin….your own skin, not mine.

If I could have handpicked a replacement for you? Hmmmmm? Yep! It would have been my mama! From Miss Niecy to Miss Margaret, because ya’ll know she is too many things! I wish we all could have stayed for you but eventually there will be a whole new cast for you to get to know. If you give the new a try you might find out that you really like it, if not there will always be a place where you can can find me – I promise!

How do I do all that I do? I do it by walking in the truth. I can’t move forward in life AND stay in the same place. I got some more places to go and I hope you come with me:) I love you all and appreciate your support! I know it was the Clean House fans that helped me stay on Dancing With The Stars so long!

So, what’s next for me? Besides getting married there is a lot going on! Stay tuned to my site for updates….I’m still at the party…just dancing to another song.

Omg! I am the happiest girl in the world!  I’m engaged to the most wonderful man! I want to share our story….

I went to a Labor Day party last year with my best friend. She said there was a guy she wanted me meet- Jay Tucker. We were introduced, exchanged numbers and eventually planned a date for the next week. We went to dinner and have been inseparable ever since!

I was in awe of how good God really is! I was a divorced mother of three children and worried that a good man would be hard to find. I had a strong talk with myself and decided to believe that God’s best for me was going to show up….and it did!

My guy is amazing! Not a perfect man, but definitely perfect for me! We went to dinner on Saturday night- one year exactly from the day we met. The waitress, Ashley brought us a dessert with a candle in it. She said it was for us to make a wish…. Jay asked me what my wish was. I said “Honestly? My wish is for forever”. He then said, “Do you know what I wish”? I wish you would be my wife. Say yes”! Babyyyyy!!!!  I started crying and time stood still!!!! When I came back to myself I had the ring on! I needed him to tell me what happened??? It was such a special night:)))))

The next day we had a BBQ and surprised our guests my telling them what happened and letting them know it was really our engagement party! It was sooooo much fun! Falling in love was easy- planning a wedding? That’s the hard part! I have no idea where to begin???? I got married the first time 20 years ago and my ex-husband planned everything because I had never been to a wedding!!! I know. Crazy. Right?!

If you have any tips, thoughts or ideas, please let me know. We are getting married in May 2011 so I have 8 months to get it together! Man, I would have more time to have a baby!

At the end of the day, I am so grateful that God would be kind enough to love me through this man. If you are waiting on your gift- prepare! Whatever you believe, can manifest in your life! Get Ready!!!!

Here Comes The Crazy Bride!
Miss Niecy

The title of the post may be a little misleading- let me explain… It’s not the end of Clean House but it is the end of my time as host of Clean House. I want to thank those of you who have been so supportive over the years- nine years to be exact! Wow! It’s been a long time….

My journey began with a crew that included Michael Moloney, Allen Lee Half, and Linda Koopersmith. I love you guys more than you know! I’m grateful to Cherryl Morgan and Carrie Mc Kool who brought us together with a concept that has helped so many.

My Clean House Clients? Babyyyyy yall are too many things!!! Some of my favorites have been Keith & Marsha Jones, The Taylors, Matthew Modesitt & Devin House, The Silvermans, and my mama!

As it all comes to an end, I stand along side Mark Brunetz, Trish Suhr, and Matt Iseman – together we are the perfect cocktail- shaken not stirred, strong and exactly what you need in a pinch! You three are the “lightening in the bottle of it all”! I also have to thank the people behind the scenes, specifically our crew. Over worked with The Messiest Home and you still keep coming back! Over the years I’ve watched you grow and go… I wish you all the best!…

How do I do all that I do? You know it’s not by myself! Big thanks to every stylist, hair dresser and make up artist who made me look like something! Terrell Mullin, if I go before you, make sure you give me a “last look” in my coffin! Lol.

Thank you to the Style Network. You gambled on a little Black girl from Compton and she gave you a number 1 show! Reciprocity. I love it!!!

You know what else I love? My Clean House Fans! Thank you for allowing me to come into your homes to entertain and inspire. I love it when you see me out and yell ” Hey Niecy”! It feels like you know me. I will be forever grateful for each and every one of you!

Tell me something, what do you think I should do next??? I have no fear. I truly believe, The Best Is Yet To Come!!!

Love, Mayhem & Foolishness

Hey everyone,

This past weekend Hampton Hotels invited me to experience their Clean and Fresh Bedding^TM, and I gotta admit… I loved it! Hampton washes all bedding fresh for every guest, guaranteed – linens, duvet, everything! You know how I feel about clean, right? After a long day of practicing for Dancing with the Stars, it was great to relax in a comfy bed I knew was clean. Really clean!

The next morning I felt so good I didn’t want to leave… so I took the duvet with me downstairs. Watch this video to see the stares I got at breakfast and other fun times from my stay with Hampton.

Much love,
Miss Niecy

Talented Actress/Comedienne Scored 21 Points this Week.

Challenged to tell a story through dance this week, Niecy Nash and her partner Louis Van Amstel, chose a story about a fordidden interracial romance in the 1960′s.

Niecy became tearful while speaking to Louis in rehearsal about how she couldn’t imagine not being with the person she loves because it was illegal. A true actress channeling the bittersweet emotions of falling in love with an “unacceptable” mate, Niecy ended her waltz with tears while on the dance floor. In the interview afterward with co-host Brooke Burke, Louis said he wanted to celebrate the strides of the last four decades, adding “everyone should be able to get married.”

Niecy and Louis earned kudos for their performance this week, earning 21 out of 30 points for their dance. “Dancing with the Stars” judge Carrie Ann Inaba said, “I think it’s a very important story to tell… and I’m glad you chose that story.”
