To tape one episode took around four hours. They have a comic in the audience to keep the crowd up in between scenes. As you might imagine, there are multiple retakes for proper camera angles and actor line flubs. As someone who has produced thirty minute, make that 22 minute shows, I think they shoot way more than half an hours worth of show. In edit, they must cut out material that did not work.
We had a high school physics teacher in the audience with us that got up and did a bizarre dance performance. The audience got so into it that the cast and crew stopped to watch. A rep from the show came to get his name. We heard Lopez wanted to know who this guy was. Possible future guest star?
The show will be back on the air Wednesday nights on ABC starting this January.The episode we watched will be on in a few months.
Sorry for the picture of a Lopez bottle of water, but no cameras allowed on the lot. If you go to a taping at Warner Brothers, beware, some of the pages bite. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
