While speaking withUs Weeklyin 2024, Swisher admitted that when she met Wahlberg, things were a little awkward.
“I embarrassed myself brutally during two starstruck moments,” Swisher said.
“One is when I met Donnie Wahlberg for the first time.
Swisher’s second so-called embarrassing meeting with a star was with actor Rob Lowe.
I didn’t stop talking.
It was rough, but he was also very sweet to me.”
It’s not surprising that JoAnna Garcia Swisher was excited to meet a childhood crush of hers.
Their meeting has also been immortalized on herInstagrampage.

“He was so nice I literally lost it,” Swisher said.
“I was like, ‘Oh my God, I love you!
I kissed your poster every night before I went to bed!'”
After showing off her NKOTB knowledge, Swisher was surprised with a pre-recorded video from Wahlberg.
He introduced himself (though he needed no introduction) and said, “Congratulations on nailing that.
I knew you were a true Blockhead.
Wahlberg explained how that meant any and all shows at any location.
He added, “And you’re officially the sixth member.
Swisher beamed and wiped tears away, before saying, “I’m the sixth member!
He said I was the sixth member!”
Any Blockhead would agree that was a dream come true.
