Ok, with show numero uno well and truly done and dusted, welcome to the prep for show 2 of “Last Night Tonight”.
But first, a recap.
I hope you all enjoyed the first ep of complete nonsense and fly by the seat of your pants TV. On Tuesday morning I got the email from Judith Lucy’s people that she would not be making it to the LNT studios on account of a growing sickness that they wouldn’t confirm or deny to be swine flu. Keep in mind, we shoot on Wednesday night. Eleventh hour in all it’s glory, it sure was. So after a mad rush to find a suitable replacement at the 12th hour, we decided to have an old guest of ‘Daniel Smith 180’ (my previous QCTV show) Lachlan Howe to do his thing as Judith Lucy and I’m sure you’ll agree he made up for it.
The opening ‘kiss’ intro had to be shot twice. It. was. AWESOME! I pushed for a third take but apparently “we got it”. Whatevs.
The show was shot in this order, if you could tell. Rossi - Judith - Opener. It was a madhouse at the LNT studios for the first ever LIVE shoot, but the good news is that we have absolutely no cobwebs left and are back in black THIS THURSDAY @ 8 WITH SPECIAL GUEST REGGIE WATTS!
See you then audience!
-Dan.
