At Oprah's Studio

This is a photo outside Oprah's studio. I'm on the left, along with an associate brand manager, our marketing director, and public relations manager. The women with bags came out of the studio carrying the Komen bags that we handed out to everyone in the audience. I don't think the bags themselves will make it on air, when the episode shows next Monday.















A segment of the program was filmed in our kitchen, where we come up with new ideas for Lean Cuisine. I did not get to meet Oprah, but I did get to spend the day with Bob Greene, who is endorsing Lean Cuisine, along with a producer for the Oprah show. The segment is about how companies come up with new products and make them healthy. I got to help put the story together for what they talked about. Oprah narrated the segment, but is not in it.

We got to go back stage at the show and met with the executive producer. The show was really fun, and we got great seats. General Mills is also featured on the show, and we ended up sitting next to them and had very good seats. We got to hang around in the studio watching everyone get their makeup and rehearse their lines before the audience came in and they started taping.

Oprah seemed really nice-- even after the cameras stopped, she spent a lot of time talking to people in the audience. She found an older lady in the audience and greeted her, then had a photographer get a picture of them together.

No idea if I'll be in the studio segment, but I'm in the kitchen segment twice-- once is the back of my head, so I'm not sure if that counts. The other one is a shot of our team that lasts for about half a second-- I think that counts. Look for the blue and brown shirt if you are taping it-- that's me!! It may work better in slow motion! :)
