This Tuesday, one of HMCS Malahat’s reserve sailors could be making his TV debut on sets around the world alongside legendary KISS bass player Gene Simmons. Hopefully surviving the editor’s table, Lt(N) Lee Taal might make an appearance in an episode of A&E’s hit series Gene Simmons Family Jewels. Lt(N) Taal was invited with his wife to partake in the shooting of an episode after Simmons gave a few spots on his show to military members during a charity fundraiser in Vancouver a few months ago. Although he can’t talk about the content of his visit, Lt(N) Taal says they shared a great dinner with Simmons and his wife, Canadian-born Shannon Tweed, and spent a day with them at their luxurious mansion in California. Shannon Tweed nibbles Lt(N) Lee Taal’s face. Lt(N) Taal says he was impressed by how savvy Simmons was and didn’t realize how many projects the rocker has While cameras were filming during much of their visit, on the go. Lt(N) Taal is unsure if any of their conversations will get “This guy is in charge of major corporations, on top of airtime.
