I'm more curious to know if a) the tribute will be staged at Television City on the 'Bob Barker Stage' or on TPIR's new stage in Glendale, and b) who's writing this thing, what with the strike and all? Plus, wouldn't Drew & others have to cross the picket line to make the special (assuming it w

Interesting - so that stage is going to host both LMAD and TPIR...what about "Real Time" (when it comes back from strike hiatus)? On Friday, September 1, 2023 at 2:05:03 PM UTC-4 Mark Jeffries wrote: > The big change seems to be that there's no more stage--Contestants' Row is > now level with

>From pictures I've seen from a very knowledgeable person on FB (I know), "Real Time" has been from another studio at TV City during the pandemic and the set is still up in that studio. Since it's going to be another year now before the remodeling actually starts, they could come back after the str
