Hey everybody.

Today.

The The The Today we've got a question about the award shows, specifically about the

unfamous people sitting in the audience.

Hey every little thing crew, my name is Mac Cooper and from Los Angeles and my

question today is about seat fillers to Ward season and I was thinking about all those people who aren't famous and who are at these shows.

Thank you very much. Hello? Hey, so I want to start by getting on the same page. You called about seat fillers, and when we talk about seat fillers, we're talking about volunteer audience members at the Oscars and other award shows who take the seat of other

people when they get up to present an award or go to the bathroom or whatever.

Right and then I see seat fillers kind of every once in a while on TV by accident.

Yes and we actually have a clip of that exact thing from the 2015 Oscars with Neil Patrick

Harris. Oh yeah. You can tell me if this is what you're talking about.

Who are you? You're not Octavia Spencer? That's exactly what I'm talking about. Yeah, that exact moment.

You a seat filler? Are you? Oh that's cool. When someone wins or presents

then the seat filler comes in and takes their seat. What's your name?

Heidi. Hi Heidi. It's funny I had never thought about how that completely full audience is unrealistic

until we started the story because of course people have to get up.

Right.

And it had never occurred to me to wonder why you never see an empty seat.

It just seems so vain of the Oscars. To be like every seat is full. Yeah, every seat is full and

you're not here but these people are here. Yeah, so someone who was there at

the Oscars that's who we went to to answer your question.

Oh cool. He's a seat filler who has done award shows repeatedly.
