Taping schedule

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Fri Apr 11, 2008 12:06 pm

In today's Today blog, Meredith said:
We begin taping the new season of Millionaire on July 21st. We tape the last two weeks in July, then take August off, mostly because I’ll be in China with the Olympics. Then we continue taping in September, October, and finish up in the first week of November. All together we shoot some 200 shows of which I do about 175. I’ve often said when I look ahead at the schedule, I start to whimper—it seems so overwhelming. But in the doing it is an absolute blast. As for when you can watch the new season on TV, I believe it is some time in September, so check your local listings. And if any of you are in the New York City area, come see the show.

They're planning five weeks of guest hosting?

Well, I can rest easier. My nightmare of getting that August 11th taping is gone.

Unless August is when they'll use the guest hosts while Meredith is in China. Okay, cue the nightmares again ...
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Maybe Katie Couric will be available
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I'm pretty sure her contract goes through the 2010-11 season.

Don't know about next season, but you heard it here first: there is another guest host coming the week of April 21. All I know so far is it's a male.

The last two seasons (3 and 4), only 175 shows have aired. If they're increasing it to 200 in season 7, it would be good news for potential contestants regardless of who hosts.

Meredith may have been remembering that 195 shows aired in seasons 1-3 when she gave the numbers in her blog.

She is now that Court TV morphed into truTV.
