On the one hand, the show is being run by people who are fondly aware of the original and intend to do it justice.  On the other hand, this is not the era of Bob Stewart-style quick-and-cheap production.  This is a network prime-time series, and they will no doubt take their time to do it right.  I would strongly caution you not to expect real-time shows, but I doubt you'll be enduring anything horrific.

Guesstimate one hour shooting time per half-hour show?

If you're going to the first taping, I'd guesstimate longer. That's the one where they figure things out.

Either way, plan on being there awhile. I don't know how many episodes they plan on shooting in a session but I would say listen to Gene and expect an hour to be spent on one episode. Not just for filming but for stopdowns and other things, plus some post-production reshooting of certain bits if necessary.

Is the Endemol method a thing anymore? Seems like that really only happened for the NBC shows and Show Me the Money. I haven't read anything about a single taping going five-plus hours in quite some time.

Still a thing--each show only has however many episodes to gain a foothold so they're not going to leave in anything that doesn't contribute to a 100% finished product as they see it. That means we can look forward to ten hours of The Pyramid that look and sound the same but for the players and game material.

First taping of The Chase in 2013 took about 6 hours, I think. But by the next day, they had it down to 2 to 3 hours.

Oh, that's right. I forgot producers don't believe in office run-throughs anymore.

Was about to say...those exist in spades. It's the pilot stage largely disappearing that could have helped with a lot of this, as well as (more) genuine full rehearsals.

There was a full studio rehearsal of "The Chase" -- I was one of the rehearsal contestants. Guess I didn't do a good enough job if the first actual taping took 6 hours.

Hey guys.  (Long-time lurker.  First post in YEARS.)

I'll be at the 2 PM taping tomorrow in NYC with a priority ticket.  I look forward to it.  Yeah, the ticket says the taping is from 2 to 5 PM, but we'll see how long it'll last!

The host has tons of experience doing live tv, so I would not expect any delays in taping.

I'm gonna be one of them, just for shiggles.  Strahan is listed as an EP for this.  Is he going to have any actual power on set, or is this just a vanity credit?  One of the other EP's is his production company co-founder, but the third brought us such fine gems as Million Dollar Password.
