Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: Hi everyone, Tammy Govey, I hear the Daytime Emmys fifty
- 0:12Speaker 1: two with me are the executive producers of The Fixer,
- 0:16Speaker 1: and I will let them introduce themselves.
- 0:19Speaker 2: I'm Mark Marriott.
- 0:21Speaker 3: I'm Brian Gibson. Right.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Can we see Brian? Is he in frame? Get in here,
- 0:26Speaker 1: Brian may get on in here. Congratulations on everything. The
- 0:33Speaker 1: show is so popular. Why do you think that is?
- 0:37Speaker 3: Well, there's not many shows out like ours, which is
- 0:40Speaker 3: kind of centered on helping communities and need you know,
- 0:43Speaker 3: and I think that people are more today than ever
- 0:46Speaker 3: looking for an opportunity to feel good, to feel hopeful.
- 0:50Speaker 2: That is uplifting show. It's a feel good program and
- 0:54Speaker 2: inspires people to engage in their local community because it's
- 0:58Speaker 2: really about local community and empowering them to fix some
- 1:02Speaker 2: of their own problems. And we can all do that.
- 1:05Speaker 1: I think part of the challenge for that is keeping
- 1:08Speaker 1: the momentum going. Once you make connections and relationships and
- 1:12Speaker 1: you're inspired to do something, is keeping the momentum going.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I think that's true. We try and emphasize
- 1:18Speaker 3: projects that have some sustainability so that you know, years
- 1:23Speaker 3: from now, decades from now, the project will still be
- 1:26Speaker 3: giving to the community, things that will be used over
- 1:28Speaker 3: and over again.
- 1:29Speaker 2: And we've got a great cast, really amazing people that
- 1:33Speaker 2: are very not only skillful in construction and building projects
- 1:37Speaker 2: and inspiring people, but fun to watch.
- 1:42Speaker 1: People, as you said, need that now more than ever. Yes, escapism,
- 1:47Speaker 1: a little bit of escapism for a while that they
- 1:50Speaker 1: can feel good about watching a little bit of both.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Yeah, bit of inspiration and escapism.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the show works well as like kind
- 1:57Speaker 3: of a travelogue because they'll go to interesting parts to
- 2:00Speaker 3: the world, but also in terms of feel good, inspiring entertainment.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Gentlemen, thank you. I'm really excited for the both of
- 2:09Speaker 1: you and for the show continued success.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Thank you.
