'Days Of Our Lives' Star Alison Sweeney Talks About 'Biggest Loser'

Days of Our Lives actress Alison Sweeney stopped by the studio to talk about the new season of The Biggest Loser.
Hit reality show The Biggest Loser returns for an eighth season with the theme of second chances. NBC says, "Their individual stories are compelling, from a firefighter (Allen Smith) whose health and job are at risk because of his weight to a military wife and mother of four (Tracey Yukich) who has always put others first. Viewers will also meet a remarkable woman (Abby Rike) who endured the worst tragedy imaginable – losing her husband and two children in a deadly car crash – and who now gets a second chance to restart her life." Trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels return to the show to help 16 contestants transform themselves and get a new lease on life.
A Los Angeles native, Sweeney made her TV debut at age 4 in a Kodak commercial. She has played Days Of Our Lives character Samantha "Sami" Gene Brady since 1993. Before that, she played Christy McCray on the late 1980s show A Brand New Life. She is a mom of two young children -- Benjamin Edward and Megan Hope Sanov.
The Biggest Loser makes its season premiere tonight, September 15 at 8pm on NBC. For more information, visit nbc.com/The_Biggest_Loser. You can catch Sweeney weekdays on Days of Our Lives at 1pm on NBC. For more on Sweeney, visit www.alisonsweeney.com.
