Jessie going over the show with hosts and contributors Ji Suk Li, Ryan Chiaverini, Val Warner, Roe Conn, and Mark DeCarlo.

What's the routine like for a producer right before and during a show?
"We start by greeting the guests and rehearsing any performances or demonstrations (cooking segments, performances, fashion shows, etc.). Next, we meet with Val and Ryan to run through the segment and inform them of any specifics they need to know. During the segment, the producer goes into the control room to monitor the segment with the executive producer, line producer, director, and technical director. Then it's just a matter of thanking the guests and saying good-bye!"
