A handful of syndicated daytime TV shows, including Dr. Phil, Jeopardy, and Wheel of Fortune, will film episodes without a live audience over coronavirus fears, Deadline reports.
One surefire way to retard the spread of a deadly pathogen is to limit situations in which multiple people will be placed near each other in an enclosed space. Unfortunately for the TV industry, that means that productions that include a live audience may have to rethink the practice as coronavirus spreads.
Peteski Productions, which, along with CBS Television Distribution, produces and distributes the Dr. Phil show, is one of the productions that is rethinking the tradition of having a live audience during filming of the show.
Carla Pennington, Dr. Phil‘s executive producer, says that the show will be recorded without a live audience until further notice.
“The health of our audience members, staff and crew are the priority,” she said.
