Steve Harvey Show, Interesting Facts 1

Betty says,

The segment of Franchesca, Ida and I on the Steve Harvey Show was aired on Tuesday, April 22.  This is one of the three "official" photos provided by the production company.   There is a partial clip on youtube

if you have missed the Steve Harvey Show and wish to watch it.  It's not a complete segment but you'll get an idea how much fun it was.

An update:

Thanks to Lil, there is a complete version posted on youtube, she used her camcorder to record it when aired, it carries captions:

This is a photo taken with my camera by one of the friendly people working on the show.   It's a rehearsal before the taping, giving me a feeling of what the studio looks like and where I would be standing.   It also gives the camera person some idea about the lighting.   As you can see, I am wearing a white sweater during the rehearsal, it's determined that a different color would work better.

The lighting and prop people are working at the table where Franchesca and Ida are sitting on.   It's determined during the rehearsal that the table was too narrow, a wider table was brought in for the taping.  All the rehearsals are done with the producers, Steve Harvey only meets the guests when the taping starts.  There is an outline for each segment but the actual interchanges between Steve Harvey and the guests are not scripted.   The taping is done in one take.  

 

The audience would be sitting in these chairs as soon as they are let in.
 

There are about 150 people working on the Steve Harvey Show.  It takes a village to raise a child, it takes hundreds of people to work on a talk show.
