[quote name=\'splinkynip\' date=\'Jan 13 2004, 01:35 PM\']Hi all, just got back from a Disney vacation and got to see a taping of the syndicated Who Wants To Be a Millionaire which was taping at Disney-MGM studios for three days. Shows are scheduled to air in late March. Pretty fun. Anyone who has been to a taping know why they don't have any background music in the studio during the first five questions?[/quote]
This is because the music is added in post-production -- the host (in this case, Meredith) always asks "Final Answer?" when the contestant decides on their answer, but for the first five questions they (usually) edit it out, and that way when they edit it, we don't hear the music skip.
