Every once in a while, someone goes from watching the show at home to sitting right there on the panel. That's exactly what happened with Drewvy, one of the newest contributors to The Roggin Report.
Drewvy shared that creativity has always been his passion. He originally earned a degree in advertising, hoping to build a career in the creative world. Like so many people, though, life had other plans. He spent years working as a corporate trainer before deciding it was finally time to get back to his artistic roots. Today, he runs his own local art business under the Drewvy name and says he's proud to be part of the Coachella Valley's thriving arts community.
His path to television was surprisingly simple. After watching The Roggin Report as a fan, he responded to an open call for new contributors and was selected to join the team. Since then, he's discovered that the conversations are exactly what viewers hope they are—honest, unscripted, and unpredictable.
One of the biggest myths he helped clear up is that contributors are told what to say or paired together to create arguments. Not true. Drewvy confirmed there's no script, no coaching, and no advance notice about where anyone stands on an issue. Everyone simply shares their own opinions, wherever those opinions happen to land.
That honesty is part of what surprised him most. Having moved to the Coachella Valley after living near Washington, D.C., Drewvy admits he expected to leave politics behind. Instead, he's learned almost any topic—from local development to everyday community issues—can quickly become political. Even so, he believes respectful conversations matter more than always agreeing.
As for becoming a local TV personality? It's been amusing. A neighbor recently mentioned seeing someone on television who looked just like him—without realizing it actually was him.
Asked what he'd change about the show, Drewvy didn't hesitate: nothing. As someone who started as a viewer, he believes the program succeeds because it's authentic. It's simply local people talking about local issues—and sometimes, that's exactly what a community needs.
