NBC studios at Rockefeller Studios welcomed eager audience members to the first taping of the new Meredith Vieira show!!! Meredith has been in the television industry for over forty years–including The View, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, the Today Show and now her very own show!
Ekk! I scored a front row seat and the perfect spot to view everything (super strict no cameras/phones policy prevented me from getting any studio photos)! The Meredith Show studio was uniquely decorated as Meredith’s home living room, as she wanted the studio to be a warm and welcoming environment. Family photos and artwork hung on the walls and there was even a worn chair from her home! Before the show officially started, Meredith came out and greeted everyone!! She is beautiful, professional and most importantly she exudes genuine kindness. The entire staff seemed to love Meredith and there were numerous remarks that she is one of the nicest people in the business.
Meredith opened the show talking with her “Obsessed With” segment which was Coconut Oil! Meredith says she keeps it in her shower and uses it daily for moisturizer. Everyone in the audience was gifted Spectrum Virgin Coconut Oil! The first guest of the show was singer, Marc McGrath talking about his Under the Sun summer tour, his many tattoos (he even showed us his Rolex tattoo on his stomach) and how much he loves his family. Later, Marc played a game with Meredith guessing different band names while being blind-folded. If he guessed correctly, he would win the audience Bluetooth Speakers from Brookstone! Lucky for us he got every question right!! Good job Marc!
During commercial breaks, the audience played games and had several dance offs to win prizes! There was also ‘Meredith Q&A’ time where she told us her impressively tall heels were Louboutin, from Saks Fifth Avenue because “I’m 5’3 and need the extra height” and how Steve Harvey is one of her biggest supporters!!
The last segment taped was featuring Camp Pals, an amazing summer camp for young adults & teens with Down Syndrome to build relationships and have fun! Co-founder, Jenni Newbury and her brother Jason came to talk about the camp, along with Meredith’s son who was previously a camp counselor at Camp Pals. Read more about Jenni, Jason and Camp Pals here.
