โOne thing youโll immediately notice as you enter the stage is that it is much smaller than it appears on camera. You are filed into the seats, section by section. On the day of our recording, they decided to film two episodes in one day, so they had us move seats between filming. There was a bit of waiting before and in-between filming. Itโs important to keep energetic and engaged as an audience member, so we had a โhype manโ entertain us until the show began.โ
โThe role of the producers is to make the show run smoothly, but a big part of that is actually revolved around the audience. When watching a talk show, youโll see the audience is always cheering, claps at the right times (or โbooโ like on The Maury Show). Let me tell you, itโs not all instinct. In fact, itโs a lot of work, so if you plan on getting tickets to a talk show, be ready to move.โ
โThe producers were there to guide the audience, telling us when to stand, clap, boo, and an assortment of other emotional displays. The bigger the displays, the better. Thatโs how they pick who gets camera time in the audience. Think about it, the people you see on TV when they pan to the audience are always those with the biggest reactions. Thatโs your ticket to the big screen!โ
