The following day, recording for "Ace Weekend Show" was set to begin.
The program aired for two hours on television, interspersed with commercials, which meant the actual content was roughly 90 minutes.
While only 90 minutes were broadcast, actual recording took much longer. To play it safe and to account for any unforeseen issues with guests or segments, each episode of the variety show typically required at least four hours of filming.
Continuous long hours of recording were undeniably exhausting. The production team had disclosed today's segments in advance; they were all indoor recordings without any location shoots, though a few game segments still needed some rehearsal to avoid unfamiliarity.
The day was packed, starting with a morning wake-up followed by discussions between the director, host, and guests about the schedule, afternoon rehearsals post-lunch, and the official recording kicking off at six in the evening until ten at night.
