OMG!!! Today was sooooo much fun. We went to NBC and watched the Today Show in the fourth hour. It was so cool because we got to see like every thing that happens on that show. You have to be very quiet on the set and the commercials go by very quickly. There are about 20 or so people on the set during the commercials, they change the set and bring in guest and the hosts review their notes and chat or like move to another floor with like the kitchen in it which, by the way, we actually got to hang out in while watching the taping. And we got to meet Rev. Run and Justine. That was definitely one of the highlights of this experience. We took pictures with them but they were in a rush; you know these celebrities.
After we did the Today Show, we got taken on a tour of NBC and we saw like where Nightly News is taped and all the secrets of that show. We saw the set of Late Night w/Conan O'Brien and realized just how sneaky television production can be. We saw the broadcasting office where all the feeds for all of NBC Universal channels go to; there were so many screens and we learned some interesting facts. Then Justin took us on a tour of inner workings of NBC like the video production headquarters and where all the servers are and where the website is worked on. It was all very very cool and we were all like really grateful to have come.
We then had lunch with the VP of NBC and a producer of Dateline named Cameo and an intern. That was very cool and we all talked and asked many questions and even gave them tips. I think they were impressed. And we learned a lot ourselves. Definitely something I will both remember and use later on in life. We left afterwards in good spirits because that was definitely a wonderful experience. We got back to HL and had a meeting with everyone there some feelings were hurt but it's over now. Then later, Shelise stopped by and we went out on POS's. I got rejected a lot and that was a bit discouraging but we pulled forward and made some contacts as well. We got crazy in the nighttime and Brad drove us home.
