Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich appeared on NBC's "Today" Show Thursday in his first interview since a federal judge denied him permission to travel to Costa Rica to participate in the reality show "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here."

Blagojevich said that he was disappointed with the decision, but "the judge did save me from eating bugs." However, he didn't rule out appearing on the show in some other way and said he was traveling to Los Angeles to discuss those options.
Asked by host Meredith Viera why a former governor "would want to be on a show like this ... running around in the jungles of Costa Rica," Blagojevich said it was all about money.
"We have two little girls, I have a mortage to pay. I'm obivously looking for a new line of work."
And the show, Blagojevich said, reminded him a bit of his former occupation.
"The idea of being in a jungle, toughening it out, sort of creating a little civil society with other people and seeing how you could govern that society is not that unlike what it was like when I was governor of the fifth largest state in America."
