Did I Hear A Toilet Flushing On Andrea Mitchell's.....

program just now? Just as she was introducing the people that she was having comment - it sounded like a toilet was being flushed in the background. Did anyone else hear this?

apparently the Capitol. I think it was just some kind of an echo. But metaphorically, the sound of a thousand toilets flushing is coming from the White House.

Don't know. But they have a reporter live in Ankara. Maybe it was the sound of Erdogan flushing Pence down the toilet?

I’d love to hear from someone who works in TV news... does that mean she has a green screen set up in her house? A/V equipment? Or does a crew go to her house each time she appears?

Or was it Take Your Dog to Work Day?

Green screen or home office backdrops. No crews.

I don't work in TV though. This is just standard stuff for remote workers (any industry) who video conference a lot.

James Cavanaugh (terrorism analyst) has a nice office set up with a "Maltese Falcon" on his bookshelf.

I always wondered whether the local NBC affiliate sent a crew for each appearance, or whether they had to get to a studio, etc. I really appreciate finally knowing for sure! Thanks!

shows, and mostly he goes to the local affiliate, sits in front of a big TV screen where they switch backdrops.
