What type of preparation goes into producing a single show?
"A lot! Once a guest is booked for the show, the producer pre-interviews them. Then we create a note packet for our hosts Val Warner and Ryan Chiaverini for each segment. These packets include all the information they would ever need to know about the guest."

"The producer then puts all elements into the rundown for the segment (photos, video, B-roll, intro and outro scripts, giveaways, etc.) and works with our editor Jared Hoffa to create any video and with the graphics department for photos. Our line producer Matt Knutson works off of this rundown during the live show. Lastly, our staff meets to talk through the show from top to bottom."
