I went for a live taping of MTV Canada’s daily teen show.
We entered through metal detectors.
When the show was over each member of the audience was given a small bag of chips, packs of gum and a gift certificate for HMV.
The last time I went to The Hour, the floor director passed around one stick of gum for each person.
Considering the budget constraints I was surprised that we weren’t asked to tear each stick in half.
