Jessie briefing Val before her segment with Kate Pankoke.

Was there ever an on-air or off-air predicament that required major damage control on your part?
"Thankfully, no major predicaments have occurred. When working on a live show like ours, you are constantly adapting to what is happening both in front of and behind the camera when certain situations arise. One time, I had a celebrity (not naming names!) booked to do two segments on the same day — but decided last minute they only wanted to do one. We ended up just doing one segment (which worked out great) but had to scramble to extend a different guest into two segments."
