With Besa Gordon out this week, creative multi-hyphenate Lex Scope is stepping in to guest host Back2Besa—and he made his Good Day Seattle debut to talk all about what he’s bringing to the show.

Lex just got appointed to the Seattle Film Commission, and let’s just say, he’s not easing into the role. “Call me Commissioner Scope now,” he joked. “My first meeting at City Hall was chaotic, but I’m here to be the liaison between the people who don’t know what’s going on and all the amazing resources we do have here.”

One of those resources? His own creation—Scope Screenings, a monthly underground film festival that’s been going strong for four years. “We highlight 10 creators every month in front of a 300-person audience,” he said. “That’s a whole different kind of love.”

As for filling in on Back2Besa, Lex kept it 100: “Besa makes it look easy, but this job is no joke. She’s out here minding her business and living her best life, and I’m just grateful I get to hold it down for her.”

Tap in this Saturday at 10:30 p.m. on FOX 13 Seattle or catch the replay Sunday at 10 a.m. on FOX 13+ to see Lex bring his signature Scope Life energy to the Back2Besa stage!
