TV prompters ( and the people that read them) can be quite a pain in the ass on a live TV shoot.
I was just able to grab a seat at a taping of the Comedy Central "Just Talk" series at Just For Laughs in Montreal - hosted by the Roast Master General Himself - Jeff Ross.. He wasn't the only nutball - Brody Stevens also performed or broke down or whatever it is he does.. Mr Jesse Joyce closed the show and did an incredible set that was amazing to see.
Prompter problems happened all night - we, the audience, got held back at the end of the show to re-shoot some intros that got rooned by the bad prompter. Fake applause. Fake intro's. That's live TV...
Check one pic though - this duet act of two older ladies - kibitzing, I guess you'd call it, put up their entire act , word for word, EVEN the "HELLO MONTREAL" in the prompter!!
Below are the pictures. One is Jeffy. ya ya. Whatevs.
One is Jesse' intro - hope you don't mind Jesse? Good joke in there...
and one pic is the 2 ladies prompter...
