well today we continue our
behind-the-scenes look at some of our
favorite CBS shows yesterday we went
one-on-one with Orlando's Wayne Brady
the star of let's make a deal today we
hear more from Wayne we also talked to
the show's executive producer as well as
another familiar face from the show who
has a big Central Florida connection it
was a soap box car you see this every
day right here on new 6 but here's what
you don't see how that's why we're here
we always say we're the biggest party in
paid time that party starts with about
150 creatively costumed audience members
just check out the monitors above the
doors
they'll be on for most of the show
reeded by executive producer Chris a
please do not watch ourselves in the
monitors okay you're already dressed as
a giant taco there's nothing you can do
you will see Wayne walk out to stage
when you see him please don't stand up
because we're not on camera yet it's not
until you hear our announcer Jonathan
Mangum say Wayne Brady that's when you
leap to your feet
[Applause]
from there it's rapid so we've tape 175
episodes a season so you're a cowgirl
with handcuffs yes
that's three episodes a day four days a
week for 15 weeks behind the scenes this
group moves fast seamlessly running
props and games onto the main stage
what's been interesting to watch over
the 10 years is that our entire staff
has become an improv genius our prop
Department when Wayne is improving
something and he's talking about singing
a song on the beach in Mexico our prop
Department will get a sombrero and a
guitar and they will run it out here as
fast as possible everyone can improv on
this show now and that's because of
Wayne and Donna did you put your speedo
on this morning I do have jela this
shows different I'm an actor and a
singer and an improviser and I brought
Jonathan my buddy who used to work at
Saks B in Orlando with me we do all
these different things to create this
variety show atmosphere that you can't
get anywhere else and I think that that
is something that no one else has been
able to tap into and I'm so proud I'm so
proud to be a part of this machinery
Wayne Brady may be the star of this show
but some big players have been around
since day one and then he got the game
show I've never announced anything in my
life
but they he said I want my buddy
Jonathan over there so the home
announcer show me the technique up here
you may not know Jonathan Mangum is a
UCF grad there is a tiny part that's
scripted and that is the description of
the prizes you know when I say it's a
car and I say the miles per gallon
that's all written but that's the only
thing that's written so everything else
we just wait and I have been you know
known each other for 20-something years
now so we've been bad just know how to
talk to each other and that is Afro yoga
how to set each other up for funny stuff
Tiffany plays the piano as well Tiffany
Coyne and Kat gray
round out this ensemble and it's easy to
see the crowd loves it's important you
know people don't you they don't holler
on Jeopardy you know I mean no one's
screaming yeah whoo
so we like the the energy it helps helps
feed us let me hit you with my it's the
best job to come to because we honestly
come here have fun with you get to get
freaky stuff in 360 and we get to go
home that's I mean it's a perfect day
just like nu6 yes and you know what my
mind was blown when I found out that the
only thing scripted is the prize
description that they ad-lib everything
else and they improv everything else and
they make it look so flawless like I was
saying like Bob from accounting can't
come fill in their eyes and you'll
notice me oh never feels in real
chemistry yeah yeah and it's one thing
to like improv and you're with yourself
yeah you have to rely on your group to
actually pick that up and he makes up
songs on the fly they go so it's really
and then you never know what's gonna
happen with the contestants what they're
gonna say and what they do so talented
the way they just when your dress is a
giant taco I mean why not maybe wearing
your bacon rows I never understood that
show until it was on right before our
newscast and so we watched it every day
and now we're all in love with yeah now
we're all experts on the show
