Anxious production assistants line the corridor leading to the green rooms of the Wendy Williams Show. Every five minutes, one is told by a producer to ensure that the scheduled guests are prepared for their ten-minute interview with the nationally syndicated, self-proclaimed “Queen of All Media”. Mike Epps has transformed his green room into a Tuesday morning stand-up routine equipped with the heightened laughter from his entourage. Tanedra Howard runs her cue-carded introduction for Wendy and rehearses the blood-curdling scream that made her one of the mutilated victims in the demented thriller SAW VI. Amidst this juxtaposition of comedy and carnage, a producer quietly interrogates one of the assistants in front of the door of the last green room.
