Talk-show host, "reality" TV host, radio DJ, producer, high-fashion model, popular pin-up girl, actress and spokesmodel, Samantha ("Sam") Phillips has had many dreams. The thing that makes her different is that she has the strength of self to make whatever dream she has come true.

Sam wanted to ride the reality wave of television with a show that was different, fun and for the everyday guy, but never mean or spiteful. She found her vehicle, Xtreme Fakeovers, (XFO) on PAX-TV. XFO takes everyday men or women to a professional Hollywood make-up artist, Kevin Yagher. They are outfitted with prosthetics, body padding and elaborate special effects make-up (a la Mrs. Doubtfire). Transformed into a totally new person, they then pull an elaborate hidden-camera prank on their unsuspecting family and friends. It is the everyday people practical joke with the super bonus of Hollywood effects.

When the weekly XFO reality show isn't keeping her busy enough, you can find her on the airwaves on 97.1 the FM Talk Station/KLSX, co-hosting the popular program "The Single Life" every Saturday from 9:00 p.m. to midnight. The very frank, no-nonsense look that Sam and co-host Gary Garver take on dating, mating and maintaining a relationship in Los Angeles provides information with great humor. You never know what Sam will ask, or who she'll ask, so you just have to listen.

Sam began her mainstream hosting career in 2001 with the breakout hit show Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, the relationship television series from Columbia Tri-Star. The show was billed as "The talk show that gets men and women to really talk!" and Sam was the co-host who would do the embarrassing demonstration, try the unknown or ask the question everyone was thinking but not saying.

Sam got her experience for hosting from previous reporting, guest hosting and celebrity guest appearances on numerous shows, including CBS' The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, FX Network, The Howard Stern Show, The Joan Rivers Show, Jenny Jones, Maury, Hard Copy, Inside Edition, Extra: The Entertainment Magazine, Entertainment Tonight and HBO. She has also been cast in a slew of music videos, including ones for 'Weird Al' Yankovic, Van Halen, Amy Grant, Mötley Crüe, Simply Red, The Scorpions, The Doobie Brothers, Dave Koz, Iron Maiden, Jeff Foxworthy and Alice Cooper, to name a few.

Sam has also emceed several events including The Singles Festival, Your Night of Stars at Edwards Air Force Base, Wilmington's Most Wanted Charity Event and several years of The Best of L.A. Festival. She co-created and hosted the popular Improv's Red Light Comedy District and she is working behind the cameras on her own documentary, Beauty is the Beast and she produces campy, fun low-budget independent spoof films that have a large following.

Her first gig as a leading lady in a motion picture came in London in 1987. Love Potion was the brainchild of Monty Python alumni Graham Chapman (writer, producer) and Julián Doyle (director). Sam enjoyed acting so she moved to Los Angeles, where she became a film veteran, having acted in over 40 movies. She has starred in Deceit, Phantasm II, Angel 4: Undercover, Sexual Malice and Fallen Angel, and has appeared in Weekend at Bernie's II, Spy Hard and Street Hunter, among many others. Most recently she co-starred in the N.Y. Independent Film Festival award winner Just for the Time Being.
