I Became A Network TV Show Host

For these 18 teenagers marooned in the alpine wilderness, this competition isn't when it all comes down to it, but rather it's about doing good or going home. Karma means that what happens happens on your mark. Get ready. My first reaction to Michelle was that she is just another social media influencer that people think of. Oh, and we could stand up and say that when you lose those who do it well, you don't even know they're doing it. I want this to be my job and I don't want anyone, what's up guys, welcome back. to my YouTube channel and in this challenge acceptance episode, I will become the

host

of an adventure

show

for HBO Mac for the next 12 months.

I am going to document my entire journey from my first audition to watching the The

show

is broadcast live with internet personalities on the rise and more and more YouTubers getting big name shows. I can't help but feel a great responsibility to deliver it. Can I appear on an HBO set and earn my spot in this medium challenge? The show I dreamed of being on as a kid was Resistance, an adventure competition show created and

host

ed by reality TV legend JD Rock. My name is JD Roth. I have hosted and created over 2,000 television episodes. MasterChef The Biggest Loser's bar rescue. and then created a program called resistance truly one of the best programs.

I think format-wise I've created kids who are now adults and who were contestants on the show still come up to me and tell me how important that show was and me. I thought you knew there had to be another way to get something like that back. Karma is a show where 16 children appear and are given laws of karma, things like growth, responsibility, and patience. I think whenever you can explore ideas like that it's great. content I looked at a lot of hosts when we get down to the last five people, everyone can read the copy and it all comes down to gut instinct over the next few weeks these 16 kids will make their home in this remote location, it shows well, this is the moment when that the camera pulls back and you're in the helicopters hanging off the ends.

Yes, that's how intros for these shows work. My first reaction to Michelle and seeing her casting was that she is another social media influencer and I don't know what will translate to hosting this type of show, but Michelle was immediately one of our favorites and it came down to two people that he knew before the conversation ended and that he was hiring her. She is real and authentic. She's actually putting She punished herself by doing whatever it took to get an amazing story and that to me was very genuine and I hoped it would translate into being a hostess and we headed to grow up being a big resistance fan.

Seeing a set like this up close in person is really cool. Oh my god, guys. I have an advance. I didn't know this was going to happen. There is a bed. And because? So I've been memorizing my lines and going over my bigger cards. The fear right now is that I will forget all the children's names when I see them in front of me. I hope you are kind and respectful. I hope they aren't bad kids or interrupting me. What if they laugh at me? it will be great then you will have the apple program welcome to the middle of nowhere my name is Michelle and for the next three weeks I will be your mentor and guide for the next few weeks these children will compete in a variety of mental disciplines and physical challenges in each of these challenges the winner has the power to send two teams to the karma cave where one team will be eliminated and immediately sent home the final winners will win $50,000 the karma you put into the world how you treat people how If you behave well, it will all come back to you .

What I expect is that kids make mistakes, emotional mistakes, tactical mistakes, and then they have to go back to where they live with the other kids that they can't hide behind their social media. behind their parents and at that moment they will realize that mistakes do not define them, it is what they do after the mistake that defines them behind me is the caravan that you will stay in for the next three weeks, go see the party we throw. it should be like a name game or something these kids come from different places, backgrounds, sexual orientations and religions.

I've been told I can't do specific things because I wear a scarf. I want to show Muslim girls around the world that this will not limit them. and whatever, we have Olympic swimmers here, we have dancers in the smallest type of the group. I'm a lad, you know, I hang out in hotels during chess tournaments, why do you guys need the kid? They are so cool and so amazing, right? The guys know what the format of the program is like. JD has a very specific vision for the show and Michelle had very big shoes to fill that sense of control in being on the show and knowing exactly what I want to say, how I want to say it in the moment.

Because I'm putting the show together and I created the show, it's just a warm place for me, so handing it over to someone is very, very difficult for me. Resistance has pitted tough competitors against the elements, forcing them to dig deep and excel. in ways they never thought possible. I rewatched JD's High Sierras premiere so many times that you'll be much better at filming the show's intro. This will be the first voice and person people see when they watch the first episode. This is intimidating to me. because I have to set the entire tone of the show on my first day or at the normal car auction. 18 teenagers from all over the country have traveled to these remote alpine forests to compete in a game like no other, to win they will have to conquer the elements in which they compete.

Physical and mental challenges and, above all, Master the laws of karma. The reality show debuted in 1948 with Alan Funt's Hidden Camera Show. Here comes a very normal looking car and it has since evolved towards fast pace. high-stakes whirlwind of an experience that is today's talent shows this is America on American Idol we are seeing a phenomenon to find true love oh my goodness ladies sorry for the interruption but there has been a little change this is now The finals are up tonight so races around the world to win a million dollars reality TV has been sweeping the nation since the rise of reality TV in 2000 with Survivor survivors ready come on baby do it the hostess is Isis' window into the show's stories and characters, and the show's hosts have often become bigger than the shows themselves due to the legacy of personalities like RuPaul Gordon Ramsay and Tyra Banks.

I can't help but feel intimidated by the big shoes I need to fill, you know me, I feel very comfortable hosting this channel with my team, but this is HBO, I mean, this is the

network

that has Game of Thrones and tonight of the last week and Barry, oh my gosh, I'm realizing all the properties HBO owns. Good morning, welcome to the second day behind me. Water is your first challenge. One of the most important components of hosting a competition show is being able to provide clear, concise, and easy-to-understand commentary during challenges. When you're new to this kind of thing, everything happens very quickly.

The children move. fast, same thing, very fast, the cameras are moving and there is a lot to take in on your mark, get ready, go, a very good host is really a producer, at the moment when they are producing the action, you have to really understand everything around you to be able to get the audience at home to lean on the presenter to convey what is happening in the chaotic action on screen without good commentary it can be difficult to understand the pressure of time left or what is at stake Andreea is the first woman to get out the water followed immediately, you have to identify the children as they swim on top of each other who is in first place who is in last place what is the drama that happens in the last place how much time is left and are you doing all this while screaming at the top of your lungs dehydrated and with an earpiece in your ear with everyone shouting at you from NCR, tackleberry is coming next, he's falling in the water, can you say that again?

I can not hear you. I'm sorry. Harrison is first. I just got home after D 2 filming and I'm not feeling very well. I definitely need to improve and I received feedback that will help me improve. The most difficult thing will be for the game to happen in slow motion. For her, I compared it to point guard in basketball. You have to know who each player is. You also have to know when to look here and pass the ball there. Having the ability to throw that pass without looking means that your awareness has to be greater than that of others. everyone good morning guys congratulations gray team again it must feel very good that there are only two of you sorry, it must feel very good that you are only two minutes away from having half of the medallions in this game.

I've been a host for a long time and I know the opinion. of the hosts, the meat puppet guy who reads the cards, but I know in my heart it's more than that, hosting is a muscle and it develops over sometimes years and the ones who do it well don't even know that They are doing it. I really honor people who do it well because I think they're undervalued on television and people don't really understand what it takes. I do not know what happened. I feel like I need to do it right when he gives certain things like not even. look at them because I feel like sometimes I still worry about the per inch I should just say it I would say it sometimes the bird should be double cooked that's how I feel too good I don't know if I eat for the net I need to run exactly because you don't, you always have the option to design.

I know you need, you know, that's really true, especially in the middle of the season, to be able to handle the chaos of a challenge and everyone yelling in my ear.

became

a little more routine, the only unpredictable factor is the contestants themselves, there are three things that everyone in show business will tell you: you never want to work with animals, children and be outside, so this show has two of the three and it has a unique challenge because you We're dealing with 18 teenagers and what can you say? They are teenagers. I feel like I walked into something that I really didn't intend to and I feel a very strong lack of community and communication here.

It is shocking. I wonder why, like every other teenager. they get hot and cold obviously it's a good story but there are also challenges in making sure they are well taken care of let's go to the cave they didn't even decide guys seriously stop it guys please let Presley finish talking . Michelle's job is like herding cats, part therapist, part disciplinarian and part producer, presenter, it is very easy for me to sit on MCR, maybe she asked this or maybe Michelle should ask that it is very difficult to be the one He's in front of sixteen kids, we're all like, yeah, what?

I have to say you are being challenged in life there are a lot of emotions but it really comes down to two things guys I'm not going to keep talking unless you hear me it's 90 degrees and there are seven cameras around and power. Maintaining that focus is very difficult. I really care a lot about all of you and I really want to help with the situation. Well, there are two emotions in life. Love and fear. It seems like everyone here runs on fear. Afraid to return home. Fear. of getting embarrassed during a challenge, this game is about karma guys, it's not just the name of the game, it's everywhere in life, how do you treat these people who are currently your peers and equals in this game, we will talk to you again Later in the game I understand, the stakes are high, the prize is big, how do you want to be remembered?

See you in the morning before this experience. I hadn't really spent much time with kids, so a lot of this for me was figuring out how to have a conversation with them and have them respect me but not be upset about the new year, see me as a father figure, okay, great afternoon and Another great decision, there was a time at one of the campfire talks when the yellow team was being attacked and I had to do the really hard job of asking these kids tough questions. We both think there's a chance we'll get back in, but you think about the other things here with the sealant, why I've been coughing for us, but a lot of people.

Say that makes our life too, they can talk, but I'm not sure I fully understand the threat individually or as he can tell you, otherwise you just said I'm a different person. I couldn't help it, but the children see the nonsense and trust them. you or them not, you have to spend a lot of time off camera with them if you want to get things out, what are they writing? You can only have one page, four sentences, only partially. Jens, yes, we are writing like with seven senses. is one Oh no is this a plan jack sounds good I have a question for everyone on our scale of one to ten How is Michelle?

Is the house? Oh my gosh, I think you're a very, very good host, are you just saying that? No, no, I'm going to give you a 9 out of 10. I seem interesting. What do you mean bysessions? They are very difficult to answer. You're pretty good. I mean, it's nice to have an opinionated host like you. I want to just be a robot, sometimes I think you might be a robot, I don't like the way you talk, just let me do it one more time and then you say we all thought you were a robot at first, even though you were.

I'm not going to lie, trying to have more excitement for more should be fine, go big or go home, it's fine and you walk. I was like I was spinning around in his hair. I mean, that's the host, she hoses her down, and then she says, "Yo." I am your host. I'm great, you were expecting Devi mm-hmm, but I'm glad you're the house because you brought things that JD couldn't bring. Different energy. Different questions. The questions are difficult. Yeah, for you two, yeah and well, like I know I need to ask that, uh, and like you guys always try to find the ones that will catch someone off guard because and that's the best, yeah, the best reaction and everything.

I give them eight out of ten on Yelp thank you, thank you, I appreciate it, but make noise, a lot of noise, the more you like great people, it's more fun, good TV, Jeff Probst does it like all hosts do, you should be known for the one who just chases your contestants, okay, listen to my four words from Monday's bonfire with Jack. I think what Michelle will have to deal with with kids is whether there is drama if you don't act quickly and cover it quickly and ask the right question 20 minutes later. They're best friends again Ilya, do you think you still have a target on your back?

I don't see why people would say we're such a big threat. What do you think is really good for me? It's based on what emotions you said or did something - yes, you hurt other people's feelings. Maybe I haven't thought about it. I know for sure. I know. I know what the yellow team said. I'm just curious. Do you feel like it could be just because? Nobody likes you, nobody wants to ask that question, but they also beat around the bush in a lot of ways and it was important for them to be honest with each other, so on reality TV you need those feelings to be expressed out loud.

For the story to get across, there is always a little voice in the back of your mind. What does that voice tell you? You need to tell everyone here because this might be the last time you tell them that the host part of me can't even. Sit in a chair, I'm constantly on my feet and I'm like, oh, I hope she says, she said yes, it's like a sporting event for me, okay, I'll fake that right now, why not? I guess I don't understand why. No because if this is a community and we all work together and try to understand each other better then Ilias should be able to say what he thinks, sometimes there are just specific things that I didn't ask him to say so it could be cut.

I've done so many episodes of so many different shows. I know that in the end there are certain things that I have to have. It's purely a game decision and if you want to believe that reading that's a fact. Almost the entire conversation was that good. true and she was about to say it I don't know if you noticed but Eli had his hands on her shoulders five days ago that would never have happened that they know each other's eyes that's a beautiful thing and she So she must have felt that support, already You know, with him there, so we're going to try to cover that interview too.

Yeah, a lot of great things came out of that. Good afternoon guys, welcome to her next challenge. Ring my bell. The worst thing that can happen to them. you fall into the water and go up the stairs, okay, everything backwards, hit my head there and I drown, today we are going to play try the ring my bell challenge, which is one of my favorite challenges, a play test is important because it allows us to make sure the contraption is safe for the participants, as well as being a fun and exciting activity to observe safety Bob on set, you are the person who signs and says this is safe, so thank you very much, no there is pressure.

I have been doing this for over 30 years. I have had a staff coordinator for about 30 years. Also, in the industry we put people in danger all the time, but unlike a thrill seeker, we make sure you can do things over and over again, one, two, three, get someone to miss. The most dangerous elements in this are the people landing on each other you and I, if we jump and grab that bar, look how close we are, the purple team is in the lead, nervous, I'll do it tonight, it's a night of elimination, which means yes. It takes place in the Karma Cave before each of you are in 10 stone chambers. 3,000 years ago, the ancient Babylonians attempted to get rid of the people through a ceremony that culminated in the destruction of these chambers.

I think the worst part of today for me was having to send two people home to the plate. I narrowed it down, let's try that oh my goodness yellow teams, you've found a coin and your karma has earned you a spot in this game. The guys on the green team give their all and what matters most is your karma. staying within the game it was very difficult for me to see the tint of flame hit inside them. I don't feel like eliminating colleagues and I want to do a really good job the way I want. I want this to be my job for a long time. and I don't want anyone to go home guys, welcome to the karma cave, for which team, here the karma game will come to an end, but for the other, there is a way to get those coins back and a value of how much each team.

Back at the camps, sorry, those coins are a measure of how bad the other teams in the camp are when the choices were between someone who has hosted over 2000 episodes of television versus me, like I put a lot of pressure on myself because I wanted to be perfect because I know they could have chosen someone who has more experience than me. I have to remember that JD chose me for me and my personality and I need to bring that more to the table. I would never want Michelle to be me because she is not me as a host, you have to make it uniquely yours.

What I have learned from my challenges on my channel is that I spend the first good training emulating the profession or what I am learning and trying to do it like them, but in the end, I have to do it my way, I am tired of feeling this pressure to say everything perfectly and I'll just add my own words, it's not an act of defiance but I have to make it my own, those coins are a measure of how much every team in the camp wants you to come back, every one of your coins will be Hidden beneath the stone chambers in front of you, all you have to do is find them.

The best hosts are the ones who can take the input, mix it all up in their own personal language and then kick it back in remind us how many needles in the first two find three coins that are safe from elimination big line are you sure how you use some type of poker technique? I'm everyone knows when they line up sometimes they can blow it up that's our girl this they have a Sienna here you go guys, you found your first coin, you are two coins away from returning to the cabins and securing your spot in the final four.

I felt very good about that, yes. You couldn't everything you've done in karma has come down to this moment the final case she's got it man I can send my daughter to college at the end of these three weeks I feel truly fulfilled having grown so much as a host mentor and guide I entered In this experience I just wanted to give it my all and also be the best mentor and guide possible for the children, but I didn't anticipate how much I would learn and grow with them. Michelle had quite a steep learning curve. finding a different voice than what she was used to, but she is finding it and getting better every day.

Now I have that relationship with her to know that if she feels it in the moment, she says it great, if not, she doesn't. Rephrase it in her own words, even better. I can worry specifically about the format and the program and make sure it works in many ways. Michelle is making my life very easy. Thanks Michelle.
