Backstage at live shows, everyone is dressed beautifully, wearing headsets, and solving problems very quickly while pretending nothing is wrong. It is a strange combination of glamour and crisis management.
The audience sees the finished show. The applause, the lights, the clean transitions. What they never see is the last minute script change, the producer whispering in your ear, and someone sprinting across the studio with a prop that should have been there ten minutes earlier. Somehow it all comes together anyway. That was always the thrill. #behindthescenes
I never once thought about the BTS of live television while on the couch. But it was headsets, countdowns, a producer waving frantically for someone to move two inches left, and a camera operator silently saving the moment. #bestjobever
One of the things television teaches you quickly is that calm is contagious. When the clock is ticking, the talent is late, and the crew is looking at you for the answer, you take a breath and solve the problem. That’s how the show stays on the rails. #tv#hollywoodlife #workintelevision #tvproduction #producinglife
