Hi everybody,
I'm Matthew Allen,
and I am the Senior Social Media Producer
here at the show,
and I am gonna give you a tour of our green rooms.
First up is the largest green room that we have.
This is The Hamptons.
(upbeat music)
Our green rooms were done by Taniya Nayak
when we moved into this studio,
but they're all based on places I love,
one room's like The Hamptons,
kinda beachy.
Some of the celebrities that have stayed in this room
include Gwyneth Paltrow,
Alan Alda,
Jake Gyllenhaal,
and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Fun fact about this room,
if you've ever seen an episode of the show
that features puppies,
we usually keep them in here.
Just imagine a bunch of tiny little puppies running around,
having the best time of their life.
Next up is The Lodge.
Right through here is a room
that's themed like the Adirondack area where Rachael's from.
It even comes complete with a working fireplace.
Some of the really fun celebrities
that we've had in this room
include Kate Hudson,
Milo Ventimiglia,
Lindsay Lohan,
Regis Philbin,
and of course,
one of our favorite guests, Michelle Obama.
She actually signed this chalkboard
and because we were so excited about it,
we put a plexiglass screen over it so nobody can change it.
And our final two green rooms are around the corner.
Let's go.
This is Marilyn Monroe.
As you can see, this room has a very distinct look about it.
This one and the next one you'll see
actually used to look identical.
They were just plain in gray.
Thankfully, Taniya did an awesome job
and now they're beautiful.
And last but not least,
nice and bright and fun.
You might've noticed in our green rooms
that we have coffee tables.
We make sure to feed every guest that we have on the show.
It's very important to Rachael,
and it's very important to us.
Thank you so much for all that incredible food backstage.
The green rooms are like kind of amazing.
They make a gourmet meal
and they bring it to your dressing room.
They said "Hey, go to Rachael's show hungry
because you're gonna be fed
very good food." (laughter and applause)
Don't mean to brag,
but we have been told that
we are the best greenroom food in all daytime.
The best place to come and be a guest is right here.
I mean get 'em! (applause)
We hook 'em with the food! (cheering and clapping)
So kudos to the culinary team
because it's their responsibility
to create a fun menu each week for all of our guests.
Who's got you? Oh my.
I do. You do boo,
thank you! (laughter and cheering)
This little room in here
is our hair and makeup room.
This is where all of our guests,
celebrity and civilian
come to get their hair and makeup done
by our team of stylists.
And we don't want anybody going out there
with a stray hair or lipstick on their teeth.
Everybody's gotta look their best for our show.
So you've seen all of the guests' green rooms.
Let's go check out Rachael's.
We are here In Rachael's closet
with Rachael's wardrobe stylist, Cara.
Hi, Kara.
Hi!
Tell us what it's like,
on show dates.
When Rachael comes in in the morning,
we usually look at the schedule for the day.
We see how many shows we're gonna be shooting.
So how many outfits she'll need,
who's gonna be in each of those shows,
and then, I usually have like a few suggestions up
and Rachael will kinda look at that
and we'll go from there.
So she'll see like what she likes,
how she's feeling that day.
Sometimes she comes in and she's like,
"I wanna wear a leopard today."
And then I gotta find something leopard.
(laughter)
How many clothes do you think you have?
(laughter)
So everything in this room
Rachael's already worn on the show.
I like to hold onto it
in case she need something specific.
So, if we're doing a themed show
and she has to be wearing something green,
for whatever reason,
then I know that I have something green
that works for Rachael.
And then once I know that
we're kind of like done with the clothes forever
and we move them to our Yum-O! sale.
So Yum-O! is new and Rachael's charity,
and we sell the clothes back to the staff
at a fraction of the price that we bought them for,
and all of that money goes to charity.
So it's like a win-win for everybody.
And through this door is Rachael's greenroom.
Come on in.
This is where Rachael spends most of her time
when we are between shows.
Back here is where Rachael gets her hair and makeup done
each morning before the show starts.
And how could we forget?
Rachael's biggest celebrity crush,
Tom Jones.
Now that we've seen the backstage area
and all the green rooms,
go check out the rest of our set tour.

thank you again.
And as Rachael always says,
We'll see you when we see you.
(cheering and applause)
