I'd Like to Know How They Did It
On tonight's episode of Bull on CBS, a character mentions that he is a fan of the New Orleans Saints because he admires QB Drew Brees and adds that Brees is now retired. Considering that the episode was filmed some time ago and had been scheduled for over a week, either they were remarkably lucky or they did some really fancy editing to work in Brees' retirement (which was just announced Saturday). The character was a prospective jury member and was wearing a mask so my guess is that they dubbed in the new lines to replace whatever the actor said in the original version of the script.

I heard an interview with one of the actors from Superstore, which was one of the few shows to film and air in a real-life setting of 2020 pandemic. They asked about wearing masks all the time, and if that made it difficult. The actor (can't remember his name) responded that it was really easier, because they didn't have to worry about remembering lines, because they would just dub it in later. Must be similar to what they did with Alex Trebek on J!silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 10:19 pmOn tonight's episode of Bull on CBS, a character mentions that he is a fan of the New Orleans Saints because he admires QB Drew Brees and adds that Brees is now retired.

Anyway, he also said he later learned that medical shows took advantage of this all the time, to the extent that when a surgery scene was being filmed, all the actors would just say "medicalmedicalmedicalmedical..." over and over again.

Now, if only Milli Vanilli could make a comeback in the time of COVID. No one could accuse them of lipsyncing!

Re: I'd Like to Know How They Did It
I think it has to do with timing.
Tgirl is right. Brees announced his intentions right after the season ended.
He could not formally announce it before this week. March 13, 14 or 15 was the first "official day" of the NFL season. I cannot remember the exact day.
So, previously announced player transactions didn't become formal until the first official day.
For example, the Eagles traded Carson Wentz to Indianapolis a while back. But, for official purposes, the trade didn't happen/won't happen until after March 15.
So, the show had a head start on the Brees retirement.
