Charlie Moore is the host of NBC Sports Network hit show Charlie Moore: No Offense, which is entering its second season. Being a big Boston sports fan and the outdoors lifestyle his entire life, Charlie is a perfect example of how hard work pays off, as his dream has come true. Charlie spoke with TheCelebrityCafe.com’s Brian Canell about his love for Boston sports, the thinking behind such a unique show, and the charitable work he has done in the Boston community.

TheCelebrityCafe.com: Charlie Moore: No Offense is entering its second season. It’s a very unique sports show, which includes the outdoors lifestyle as well as your comedy mixed in. How did you come up with the idea to create such a unique and interesting show?

Charlie Moore: It really is a progression. Doing a show like this, you have to find a rhythm. It’s all about finding exactly what works. Sometimes we were more on the comedy side and other times we were more on the lifestyle side until we finally transformed it into what it is today. It is all about developing a certain brand and then sticking to that brand. For example, comedian Richard Pryor had a certain style and you knew what you were getting from him every time you saw him.

TheCelebrityCafe.com: Before you started Charlie Moore: No Offense, you began a show called Charlie Moore Outdoors on NESN. You have since won four Emmy awards for that show. What was it like to win such a prestigious award?

Charlie Moore: It felt really good to be recognized for my talent. We are currently in our 17th season of Charlie Moore Outdoors and I could not be more proud of what we have accomplished. With the first Emmy that I won, I was up against really stiff competition. The Red Sox, Bruins and Patriots all had great seasons that year and to win the award against those teams was really a dream come true. I really felt like the little engine that could.

TheCelebrityCafe.com: You are referred to as the Mad Fisherman, which was also the name of your book. Where did you get that nickname from?

Charlie Moore: I was with NESN at the time. I was with a couple of people fishing. It was a very tough day to fish because it was raining and it was about 40 degrees. After a few hours in, I finally caught a fish and went crazy in excitement. I went on a mad rant. We went back to the studio to watch the tape and someone called the Mad Fisherman. We immediately called a copyright lawyer and copyrighted that name and it stuck from there.

TheCelebrityCafe: Your show also involves a celebrity guest in many of your episodes. Guests have been professional athletes, celebrities and even politicians. Can you reveal some of the guests you will be bringing on in season two?

Charlie Moore: We have brought on a lot of celebrities who have come from adversity to achieve their goals. A lot of our guests have very inspirational stories which helps put things in perspective. We brought on former boxer Micky Ward, who was recently depicted in a movie “The Fighter.” We brought on Jack Capuano, who is the head coach of the New York Islanders. It was fun to bring him on because of the New York/Boston rivalry. We also brought on quarterbacks Tom Brady and Doug Flutie, who both came from adversity. People said Doug Flutie was too small. Tom Brady was a fifth round draft pick and was a backup in college at Michigan.

TheCelebrityCafe.com: You have been extremely charitable as well. In 2007, you created a “Mad Fish Mud” ice cream flavor for Brigham’s Ice Cream in Boston. All of the proceeds went to benefit the AIDS/HIV programs at the Children’s Hospital Boston. You must be proud of the work you have done there as well.

Charlie Moore: It is always important to give back when you can. We started a new foundation, which is called the Mad Fish Family Foundation. I also try to help with Doug Flutie’s autism foundation as well. Also, for every one of my DVDs that are sold, five dollars went to the Children’s Hospital in Boston.

TheCelebrityCafe.com: You are also a member of the New England Sports Hall of Fame, which includes Red Sox legends Ted Williams and Curt Gowdy. As a guy who grew up in Boston, how much did it mean to you to be mentioned in the same place as these guys?

Charlie Moore: At the ceremony, I could barely talk. I was such a wreck and was completely overwhelmed with emotion. My television career wasn’t supposed to happen. I was up against so much adversity. To be able to win an Emmy, create my own ice cream flavor, DVD and book and then to be in front of over 18,000 people at the Boston Garden was an incredible feeling. I saw Bobby Orr, Cam Neely, among other legends in the crowd. It was very ironic because when I was younger, I used to sneak into the Garden to watch the Celtics and the Bruins and then I was up there winning awards.

TheCelebrityCafe.com: As a Red Sox fan, what do you think of the Bobby Valentine hire as the new manager and how do you think the Sox will do next season?

Charlie Moore: Bobby’s personality is almost the complete opposite of Tito’s, but that might be what the team needs. Only time will tell and it is really hard to predict what will happen. Bobby will probably not lose control of his players like Tito did. However, some players simply do not get along with some managers and that is just how the game is. It might be a good thing that there are no expectations going into next season.

TheCelebrityCafe.com: All of the talk this NFL season has been about Tim Tebow. What do you think of the Patriots chances this weekend against the Broncos and quarterback Tim Tebow?

Charlie Moore: The Broncos are going to get shelled. I don’t care if Jesus is the center, they won’t be able to do anything. I like how Tim Tebow has proven people wrong and I have a lot of respect for him, but the Broncos will not be able to put up enough points to match the Patriots. Tebow has been like Rocky Balboa, but this is where his run stops.

TheCelebrityCafe.com: Your Bruins are coming off of a season in which they won the Stanley Cup championship and are now among the elite teams in the NHL. Do you think they will repeat as Stanley Cup champions?

Charlie Moore: There is no question about it. They were the bottom of the barrel at the beginning of this season, but turned it around within 13 days. They are a much better team than they were last year. They made some great trades so far, which should help them get back to the Stanley Cup.
