Tonight was the taping of Trust Us With Your Life. It was GREAT.
They gave us free beer/wine when we got there. Probably to try to make us laugh a lot. Didn't need it.
We got there early and somehow managed to be in the VERY FRONT row. It was ridiculous. I swear there was a guy kneeling with his camera in my face for over half the show. If I don't get airtime, I will be legitimately shocked.
The gist of the show is that it is an improv comedy show with four guys acting out different scenes from the "special guest's" life. They acted out each scene in a different way--one was rapped, one was putting words into someone else's mouth, another was a song, and so on. Very "Whose Line is it Anyway?"-esque. This show was created by the same guy who created Whose Line. He's a genius.
The special guest for tonight's show was Florence Henderson, or more commonly known as Mrs. Brady from the Brady Bunch. I'm kinda sad we didn't get a different guest--David Hasselhoff was the guest this past Sunday and I believe Ricky Gervais is tomorrow's guest. Oh well.
The brilliant comedians we had in tonight's show were Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, Jonathan Mangrum, and some other guy. The host was Fred Willard, who is a good actor but a not very good at all host.
I had lots of accidental eye contact with Wayne Brady. It was awesome.
There were lots of laughs and LOTS of clapping. After the show they had to shoot a ton more footage of introductions and "links" and the ending and us clapping over and over and from every angle and my hands were quite tingly by the end. It was fun, though.
So the show will hopefully premiere next January in America on ABC. Watch out for the episode with Florence Henderson. You'll probably see me laughing. The other episodes will probably be worth watching as well. It's no Whose Line, but it does have hilarious moments.
