-It is filmed in LA
-You get brought into the CBS building at around 4pm and are greeted by a production assistant which hypes you up and tells you to think of questions while watching the show.
-Start watching the episode in a green room at about 4:30 on a 60 inch TV with the rest of the audience members (Show has no commercials and was on Blu Ray DVD)
-After the episode the Production Assistant walks back in the room and opens up the audience for questions. No one initially raised there hand so I volunteered. My original question was about the evolution of Carl and how is runs parallel to Rick. She liked and said your in and proceeded to chose 5 more people.
- We were all brought into a room to "fine-tune" our questions and practice exactly how we would say it. We eventually realized that my question would probably be talked about prior to me getting on stage. That is when they dug into a list of questions they had already gathered from all the social media outlets. This is where my question came from.
-We went around the room practicing delivery and I had was able to memorize and ask the question the most fluently without errors or interruptions.
-She told me I would be asking a question first but I wondered why there were 5 people when they only show 2. (This is because if the guests and the host answered it already that person would be skipped)
- After making us sign some waivers they brought in the audience and our group last
-We had front row seats about maybe 10 feet from the couch and set in numerical order with me being in the number 1 seat
-The set was a lot smaller than I imagined but was still great to see it.
-We were approached and introduced to the production manager which informed us of the flow which the show would take.
-A makeup artist came out and powered our faces a bit so that it wouldn't be all shiny on TV
- Maybe about 20 minutes before the show aired all of the guests and host came to sit down and record some of the cut scenes you see prior to the actual show (Chris Hardwick did about 3 takes recording some promos because he kept screwing up his mouth)
-He is hilarious when the cameras are off and they cuss up a storm.
- The commercial before I make an appearance Chris (The host) turns to me and joke fully says "Don't **** this up, millions are watching" We both bursted out laughing and he said "Just kidding man have a great time and relax"
- Once they called for me I came up to the mic said what I said and just stood there awkwardly because I didn't know where to look.
- Once I was done Chris said thanks and I wasnt able to return to my seat until the commercial break (because of all the cameras)
-The set was awesome the guests were awesome. All in all it was an amazing experience.
I wrote this up to give everyone who is a fan of the show some insight and maybe answer some questions.
Hope you enjoyed!
