Join “Evel Dick” Donato live from the Big Brother Backyard Tuesday night, September 15, immediately after the Big Brother 11finale airs live on CBS.  Evel Dick will be interviewing this season’s winner and runners up, and, in his own words, “asking the questions nobody else in their right mind would ask.”   Live stream begins at 8 PM PT (11 PM ET).

Evel Dick (aka Richard Donato) became the oldest winner in ‘Big Brother’ history with his Season 8 victory. In 2009, he was named to TV Guide’s evil reality TV villains list alongside Simon Cowell and Gordon Ramsay.

The post-finale show will stream exclusively on Stickam.com starting at 8:00pm PT / 11:00pm ET. Fans can connect with Donato directly to share comments and send questions for ‘Big Brother’ housemates. Popular ‘Big Brother’ fansites Jokersupdates and Mortystv will also play host to the live Stickam broadcast with embedded players.
