Sorry, I've got nothing this week. It's been busy, we just taped episode 3 to air Tuesday. The live audience was insane, one of the best we've ever had. I asked if we could just get them to come to every show, but to no avail. They were laughing harder on the second take, it was bizarre.
Live audiences for comedy shows are weird. It's almost irrelevant how good/bad the show is, they're either there to laugh or they aren't. We've had shows that I thought were really good and the audience was dead. And shows that I didn't think were our finest that they went crazy for. There's some weird chemistry involved in getting a bunch of strangers in a room to watch videos of people getting hit in the balls.
We're in the middle of doing 11 and that's when things are the craziest. I can't fathom Oprah doing 25 years of an hour long show, 5 days a week. That's ridiculous. I would've gotten out as soon as I made the first billion.
I've worked on a show that's daily just once, and very briefly. It was not fun. Weekly is more my style, and even then it's a grind. I pat myself on the back every time we tape an episode, and then can't fathom the prospect of having to do it again next week. One is enough!
But now Oprah is off to Montecito and living the good life with Stedmon. Wink, wink.
Anyway, enough whining. The point is, the show has taking up all of my "good" ideas. So if anyone has any questions or topics, I'd love to answer them cause I'm all out.
