Tales of a Live Audience Member at the Wendy Williams Show
Today I decided to take advantage of one of the many great deals we pitch here on Pulsd, and attend a free live audience taping of the Wendy Williams Show. The outing required me to roll out of bed an hour earlier than usual, which was a bit of a stretch for me, but it turned out to be well worth the loss of some good shut-eye!
Tickets were handed out on a first come first served basis, but because they do some coordination beforehand by signing audience members up a few days in advance, everyone who turned up got in easily. After hanging out in the waiting area with coffee and donuts, we were ushered into the studio to some early morning hip-hop and disco jams. Before Wendy even graced the stage, an MC danced with audience members, the DJ got some great sing-a-longs going, and an 82-year-old man and his wife dominated in a dance competition held amongst energetic fans – bear in mind this all happened before 10am.
Probably the most interesting aspect of taking part in a live audience is how big of a role you actually play. Prior to taping, associate producers led practice rounds of “oohs”, “aahs”, and applause, encouraging us to go completely over the top. When Wendy finally stepped out, the studio echoed with a multitude of “How you doin’s?” – Wendy’s signature line. And little did I know, but Wendy’s guest that day happened to be Larry King, live and in studio, the highlight of an already fantastic morning.
There’s a lot more that goes into these shows than you ever see on television, so consider snagging some free tickets today!
