About

A show for the grandparents who taught us.

The GoGo Show is a live lifestyle broadcast made by and for grandparents. Every episode is a warm hour of stories, finds, and family traditions worth passing down.

Our mission

We believe grandparents are the storytellers of a family — the ones who remember the recipes, the songs, and the way things used to be done. The GoGo Show is our way of celebrating that role, and giving grandparents a place to gather, laugh, and share what they love.

Above all, we want to help grandparents leave a lasting imprint on their grandchildren's lives — the kind of imprint that gets carried, quietly, for decades.

Every other Tuesday, GoGo and Hilary sit down with a warm mug of coffee, a handful of hand-picked gifts, and a story worth telling. We keep it slow. We keep it kind. And we always end at the lumber yard.

The heritage

Big Carl's lumber yard

Long before there was a show, there was a small lumber yard in Wisconsin. Big Carl ran it — GoGo's grandfather, a quiet man with strong hands and a pocketful of pencils. Every Saturday, GoGo would walk the aisles with him, learning to read grain and to save the good wood for the good projects.

Big Carl didn't talk much. He mostly pointed — at a knot to work around, at a board that would warp, at the sun coming through the tall windows in the late afternoon. He taught GoGo that if you slow down enough, the work tells you what it wants to be.

Those Saturdays became the backbone of the show. When GoGo talks about slowing down, doing something with your hands, and building with the grandkids — this is the place he's remembering.

At the end of every episode he says the same thing his grandfather used to say to him at closing time: Now it's time to go to the lumber yard. Go build something with your grandchildren.

Host

Carl — “GoGo”

Carl Weinkauf is a 66-year-old Dallas attorney and the founder of The GoGo Show, a live social shopping show made for grandparents. The idea grew out of a simple frustration: going online to find a good gift and getting lost in pop-ups, fine print, and a world that felt built for someone half his age. Carl wanted something warmer — a place where a trusted face shows you a few genuinely good things, tells you the story behind them, and lets you take your time. Launching September 8, 2026, during Grandparents Day week, The GoGo Show goes live each week on Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok with the feel of a favorite morning show: unhurried, honest, and a little like visiting a friend's front porch. Carl brings an attorney's care for the details and a grandfather's belief that shopping should feel personal again.

Co-host

Hilary Kennedy

Hilary Kennedy is an Emmy Award-winning television host known for her work on the nationally syndicated morning shows Eye Opener and The Glenn Beck Program. Her career has taken her from the couches of Access Hollywood and Extra to a guest spot on The Rachael Ray Show. Her rise in broadcasting has been chronicled by Working Mother Magazine, Glamour, and Marie Claire. She has been a style and entertainment expert for publications like Woman's Day, Fox News Magazine, and CNN.com.

Off camera, Hilary's heart for single mothers led her to help lay the groundwork for Helping Hands for Single Moms, a Dallas-based organization dedicated to lifting up women raising kids on their own while pursuing higher education. When she's not in the studio, Hilary is a wife, and mom to two young sons and two rescue chihuahuas. She has an unmatched ability to finish an entire pizza in one sitting, and she never misses a good UFC fight.
