YES, even talk shows are scripted! A script is essentially the written version of a play, movie, or any other media production that requires a script. Naturally, scripts differ from production to production. For talk shows in specific, the script can be described as a synthesis of the introduction, the following questions and topics, conversations,...
Writing scripts happens in different steps. Firstly, you start by doing your research. It is important to properly understand the subject, the context, relevance and possible controversies around it, and of course the guests and their environment. Consequently, you’ll have to write the teaser for the announcement of the show and the introduction. I...
As for the structure, the script exists of different ‘items’, or ‘sequences’, addressing a topic (with specific guests) or a guest. With every item, the PA makes a timing estimation of how long it will take to cover the topic and in that way, makes sure the length of the show stays within the agreed time slot. Often, extra ‘backup items’ are create...
Version management
As the Showrunner, it is necessary to keep a clear overview of the script and rundown. Collaborating with the production team in a well-structured way not only makes for a better show but also less stress. Nevertheless, version management, time pressure and last-minute changes in talk show productions often go hand-in-hand with chaos, frustration and mistakes. The host receives the script, usually via email, and works with the Day Producer to finalise it.This step can sometimes take a lot of...
Media handling
Firstly, linking the right media to the right sections of the scriptcan be challenging. Usually, the Day Producer puts references in the text of the script of where clips, images (stills), and other audiovisual media need to be played. In TinkerList, this audiovisual content can be put in the text itself (cf image further down below), but with traditional tools, all the files are put on a separate drive with specific names. Often, the names in the script (and rundown) are not similar to the f...
Printing
As mentioned before, A LOT changes in the script during the production process. As a result, the constant back and forth flow of adapting, rewriting, printing the script (if the printer doesn’t break down), sticking and glueing the cue cards, etc., is first and foremost very detrimental to the environment, but also extremely frustrating for the team to stay updated and provided of the latest versions of the script.

• 8 yr. ago. tonxmas. How are American Late Night Talks written? Hi, I work on an austrian Late Night Show and we generally don't script the talk part of the show. Normally the guest appears a few hours before the show starts and then just talks to the host in a hopefully entertaining fashion.
