And now ladies and gentlemen, straight from Hollywood, California or
somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It is a game show host extraordinaire, Mark Wahlberg.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
He has been the host of so many different things
it's not even funny whether you love Antiques road Show
or you love Temptation Island, or you love game shows.
And now he's coming to town tomorrow night. He's going
to be at the Paramount with Wheel of Fortunate Live.
Mark Wahlberg, Welcome to my show.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Thank you. That intro was longer than some series I hosted,
So that's awesome.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I've got to start asking you. I have to ask you.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
We'll talk about Wheel Fortune in just a second, because
people can actually go we can talk.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
About whatever you want, whatever you want to talk about.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Tomorrow night, people are gonna have the opportunity to go
to the Paramount Theater and actually play Wheel Fortune.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
We're going to talk about that in a second.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
But I've always been fascinated with the genre of job
that is talk show host. And you're really in kind
of a very small club of successful talk show hosts
or game show hosts that your jobs have primarily been
moving things along, right, I mean that's the job of
(01:10):
a great host, to move things along in an entertaining fashion.
Did you ever when you were young, were you like,
I want to be a game show host when.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I grow up. How did you land in this?
Speaker 4 (01:22):
You know, that's a great question, first of all, speaking
to what you're saying about being game show hosts. The
job is to be an expert at the game, to
keep the train on the tracks, to make sure we're
playing the game the right way so that the contestants
get the best opportunity. How I got into it, I
you know, when I first got married, I was sort
of wondering what my career would be. I didn't have
a degree. My wife was an actress. I thought I
(01:44):
wanted to do that, and I'm like, one of us
needs to get a job. And I got a job
at did It Clark Productions? Wow, So I kind of
just menteed under one of the greatest hosts and producers
that's ever been in our business.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
And I learned a lot from him.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I became his warm up comedian a lot of his shows,
and then I started hosting my own shows.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
So I learned from what I think is the best.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I think that that's I think Dick Clark is arguably
the greatest host of all time.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Yes, generalist because one of the things that he does,
besides being a great game show host and being comedic
when he needs to be, and besides being a great
music host knowing everything about music.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I've watched time and time again.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
You know when he was with us, when he would
stretch her or be in a segment that needed to
be longer.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Or something, he would add content. It wasn't just talking.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
He would He was bright and smart and aware and listening.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And there are so many tools I learned.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
To become the host that I try to be now
based on watching hours of him.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I think that's a great point, is that a lot
of times being a great host is listening and really
following along to what people are saying and engaging that way.
So let's talk about what it's like to host Wheel
of Fortune live.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It's a live program with the big Wheel.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Mark.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
We were talking about Wheel of Fortune earlier, my producer
and I and I I am if I'm honest, I
miss the showcase at the end where people had to
buy their prizes and they always ended up with like
eighty dollars and they bought the ceramic dog and then
they took the rest on the Georgio gift certificate. I
would love for them to bring that back. You know,
(03:20):
maybe we make that part of the touring company. I
just want to people, you know, people's.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Shop for their trip to hold.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I'm a man of a certain age, so I kind
of agree with you. That was one of the things
I loved when I was a kid.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
At some point in the evolution of Wheel of Fortune,
the producers realized that the most of the audience once
more puzzles and less shopping, and so that went by
the wayside.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
But I I'm up that age.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It was so good.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, we don't do that on the live show. Obviously,
we play it lasts it is on TV now, but yeah,
those were the days.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
So tell me about the what people can expect when
they go to the Paramount tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
What is that going to be like?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
So it's going to be a party, It's going to
be a celebration of America's game. Here, what's up?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
We had the whole set, We've got the wheel with
the letter board, We've got everything you need. And we
realize that not everybody's going to get a chance to
ever go to Hollywood and watch it taping with Ryan
Seacrest or back when Pat Say Jack was doing it.
So we're trying to give you that vibe of what
it's like to be there watching a taping of the episode,
an episode of Will a Fortune. But anyone who comes
(04:19):
to the show simply click something in the lobby and
you're registered to be a contestant. So everyone on stage
that will happen tomorrow night at the show will be
plucked right out of the audience at random.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
It doesn't matter if you wear a funny shirt or
you're a really great contestant or not.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
You're getting picked out of the audience to come up
on stage, do your best, and ultimately will audition lots
of people to find three people who will play a
full episode, just like on TV, and then the winner
will go to the bonus ramp for a chance to
win up to five thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Here's what's awesome.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
If they solve that bonus puzzle and they win whatever's
in the envelope, we match that prize with somebody in.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
The audience you and we do that throughout the night.
So if you come, you have no actually playing the game.
You're that's fine. We love that you still may end
up winning.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Well, so I love and tickets are super affordable. I
was looking this morning. There's not that many tickets left.
I looked this morning to see if there were any
tickets left there. There are tickets together, but they're they're
kind of spread around the Paramount. Have you ever been
to the Paramount before? By the way, it's a I think.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
The last time I was in Denver I played the
Mission Ballroom, which is a great venue.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I think I have been to the Paramount before. I've
been in many paramount theaters.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
It's sort of a chain around the country, and so yeah,
I think if I remember correctly, it's sort of an iconic.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Theater from that era. I don't really remember. To be
honest with you, I've been to Denver a lot. So
I'm excited to come back. O.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Good. Well, We're glad to have you.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
So what is I'm guessing that, you know, the audiences
for game shows when you're recording in California are fairly small.
I mean, there's not that many people the studio audience.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah, I'm guessing this is like so that my teeth actually,
so most of the shows that tape in even talk shows,
game shows, variety shows, sitcoms.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
You know, maybe one hundred people in the audience, sometimes more,
sometimes a little less.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
And I by happenstance, that's how my career started.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
We were taking a show that Dick Clark was hosting.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Audience was loaded in, we were ready to rotape, and
Dick said, where's the audience guy, where's the comedian?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And my boss was like, we didn't book one. We
thought this would go pretty quick.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
And he looked around and said, you know what, Mark'll
do just fine, and he set me out there.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
And that's how my career took a left turn. And
and now I'm here today.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That's fantastic. That is a great, great story. So people
have plenty of time the shows tomorrow and you don't
have plenty of time. You've got one day. Buy the ticket,
go and have a blast.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
This could be a.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Little fun way to make a little walking around money.
Now you've done these before. How often do people win
the showcase?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
You know, I was trying to answer that question last night.
I'm gonna guess probably sixty five.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Percent of the time.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Oh, people are good, Yeah, we have a lot of winners.
We had somebody win a trip to Hawaii two nights ago.
We had somebody last night and went two thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I think it was last night.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
I get confused what night it was, but recently, and
what's made about it is when the person when I
opened up the envelope, they've solved the puzzle. Places going crazy.
I opened the oblous as it's Hawaii. Well not only
they're going, but some random audience member who's done nothing
to deserve it just wins a triple A. Y. I
love that it was spreading the wealth as one of
my favorite things.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
What city that you've been to had the best audience
in terms of just fun and engagement? And don't give
me the All cities have good qualities.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I want to know the truth, Mark Wahlberg.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I'll give you the truth. You know it's funny.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I really I've toured a lot in just doing Wheel
of Fortune.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I did Anti tro Troop for years. I did Prices
Right Live per years.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
So I have toured with game shows and regionally, audiences
are different.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
What's funny in one room is not funny in the
next room.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
So I can't really I'm going to skate a little
bit because I can't really tell you what city had
best audience, but I find it really fascinating that, you know,
some big, big city audiences like we were in San Francisco,
they were great, but sometimes you'll play like Davenport, Iowa,
and be shocked at how awesome the audience is. So
but what's interesting is not that one better than the other.
(08:19):
But I found that certain audience is flying certain things funny,
and certain audience is playing other things funny, and so
every night. It was one of the reasons why I
love doing it every night, not just comedy, of course,
but gameplay and explanation how we do it. You sort
of have to adjust what you're doing to talk to
the audience that's there, and you know, I guess I'm
getting a little heady. But as a host, I think
(08:40):
the lesson is you meet your audience where they are.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
You don't expect them to be where you were yesterday.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
You meet them emotionally where they are, talk to them
and listen to what they want to hear from you,
and be the facilitator of their good time, not yours.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I think that's a really interesting insight into the world
of what you do because for most of us like
I like to host in terms of I love to
be an MC and I.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Do a lot of political stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
It is.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
There's an art to it and an art to doing
it well. So you've obviously mastered the art. And I've
got one question before we go, and don't forget. You
can find all the information on how to get those
few tickets that are left on the blog today at
mandy'sblog dot com. You just go to the paramount or
ticket master if you want to search it that way.
The show is tomorrow night. Last question, are you do
you ever go down internet rabbit holes? Because we were
(09:26):
talking about this before you came on mine. Right now,
I've got three I've got pressure washing videos, I've got
host cleaning videos, and I have carpet cleaning videos. Those
are my things that I just watch mindlessly. And now
I've got this guy in Germany who does the Hulu
hoop wearing extremely high heels and showgirl outfits.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Can't stop watching that guy? Is it? What does Mark
Wahlberg do on the Internet? What do you watch?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Well, if you look at my algorithm, I get a
lot of crazy constructive videos of construction mishaps and workarounds.
For construction stuff, which blows my mind because I don't
do construction, but I apparently love.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
To watch it. I've been inundated with the TikTok trend
of where the two people stand there across from.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
One another and I said hey, hey, hey, yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
They turn around and does the wrap. So I've been
practicing that. I can't stop singing that and getting the
words wrong. So that's cool. And then uh yeah, and
then I get.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
A bunch of dance videos, like lots of dance stuff
because my daughter, I'll be as quick with this as
I can. My daughter was a professional ballerina. I woke
up one morning and I called her and I'm like,
what the hell, gold, what are you doing? She put
together a TikTok which was cutting all of these clips
of me pretending to be a dancer over the years,
(10:46):
and she put us things in petition for my dad.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
To be on Dance with the Stars. And I yelled
at her.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I'm like, you made me look like an idiot, you know,
and why would you do that? She said, Before you
yell at me, why don't you look and see how
many views on TikTok. You have five point one million
of course, so now she can put anything she wants
with me on it.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
By the way, Dancing with the Stars hasn't called so well.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I mean, maybe she should put one show in your
overall improvement, maybe as a follow up.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
You know, I think maybe there's a whole.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Series that could be, you know, taking somebody from absolute,
you know, ridiculous behavior to almost the semblance of a
dance staff.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
But I don't know if I'm capable.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Mark L Wahlberg, what does the L stand for?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
You know, I at this point actually come up with
something funny. I don't have any money. If that's for Lewis.
I just added my middle initial to my professional name.
When Mark Wahlberg.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Started to become famous, Yeah, because I didn't want people
to be confused. I didn't want to look like I
try to, you know, steal his clout, and so I
wanted to different change his best. I think in person
it's easy to tell the difference. I have ads, but
you can't find them.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
His are more than a parent.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
There you go, Mark el Wahlberg, thank you so much
for your time. Have a great time tomorrow night. I
hope somebody wins big.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I hope so too. And I hope your listeners show
up and have a great time.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Me too, Me too. Thanks Mark, nice to meet you, man.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Nice to meet you too.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
All right, that is Mark Elle Wahlberg.

We were talking about Wheel of Fortune earlier, my producer

would love for them to bring that back. You know,
(03:20):
maybe we make that part of the touring company. I

Speaker 3 (07:04):
I think it was last night.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
I get confused what night it was, but recently, and
what's made about it is when the person when I
opened up the envelope, they've solved the puzzle. Places going crazy.
I opened the oblous as it's Hawaii. Well not only
they're going, but some random audience member who's done nothing
to deserve it just wins a triple A. Y. I
love that it was spreading the wealth as one of
my favorite things.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
What city that you've been to had the best audience
in terms of just fun and engagement? And don't give
me the All cities have good qualities.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I want to know the truth, Mark Wahlberg.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I'll give you the truth. You know it's funny.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I really I've toured a lot in just doing Wheel
of Fortune.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I did Anti tro Troop for years. I did Prices
Right Live per years.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
So I have toured with game shows and regionally, audiences
are different.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
What's funny in one room is not funny in the
next room.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
So I can't really I'm going to skate a little
bit because I can't really tell you what city had
best audience, but I find it really fascinating that, you know,
some big, big city audiences like we were in San Francisco,
they were great, but sometimes you'll play like Davenport, Iowa,
and be shocked at how awesome the audience is. So
but what's interesting is not that one better than the other.
(08:19):
But I found that certain audience is flying certain things funny,
and certain audience is playing other things funny, and so
every night. It was one of the reasons why I
love doing it every night, not just comedy, of course,
but gameplay and explanation how we do it. You sort
of have to adjust what you're doing to talk to
the audience that's there, and you know, I guess I'm
getting a little heady. But as a host, I think
(08:40):
the lesson is you meet your audience where they are.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
You don't expect them to be where you were yesterday.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
You meet them emotionally where they are, talk to them
and listen to what they want to hear from you,
and be the facilitator of their good time, not yours.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I think that's a really interesting insight into the world
of what you do because for most of us like
I like to host in terms of I love to
be an MC and I.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Do a lot of political stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
It is.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
There's an art to it and an art to doing
it well. So you've obviously mastered the art. And I've
got one question before we go, and don't forget. You
can find all the information on how to get those
few tickets that are left on the blog today at
mandy'sblog dot com. You just go to the paramount or
ticket master if you want to search it that way.
The show is tomorrow night. Last question, are you do
you ever go down internet rabbit holes? Because we were
(09:26):
talking about this before you came on mine. Right now,
I've got three I've got pressure washing videos, I've got
host cleaning videos, and I have carpet cleaning videos. Those
are my things that I just watch mindlessly. And now
I've got this guy in Germany who does the Hulu
hoop wearing extremely high heels and showgirl outfits.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Can't stop watching that guy? Is it? What does Mark
Wahlberg do on the Internet? What do you watch?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Well, if you look at my algorithm, I get a
lot of crazy constructive videos of construction mishaps and workarounds.
For construction stuff, which blows my mind because I don't
do construction, but I apparently love.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
To watch it. I've been inundated with the TikTok trend
of where the two people stand there across from.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
One another and I said hey, hey, hey, yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
They turn around and does the wrap. So I've been
practicing that. I can't stop singing that and getting the
words wrong. So that's cool. And then uh yeah, and
then I get.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
A bunch of dance videos, like lots of dance stuff
because my daughter, I'll be as quick with this as
I can. My daughter was a professional ballerina. I woke
up one morning and I called her and I'm like,
what the hell, gold, what are you doing? She put
together a TikTok which was cutting all of these clips
of me pretending to be a dancer over the years,
(10:46):
and she put us things in petition for my dad.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
To be on Dance with the Stars. And I yelled
at her.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I'm like, you made me look like an idiot, you know,
and why would you do that? She said, Before you
yell at me, why don't you look and see how
many views on TikTok. You have five point one million
of course, so now she can put anything she wants
with me on it.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
By the way, Dancing with the Stars hasn't called so well.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I mean, maybe she should put one show in your
overall improvement, maybe as a follow up.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
You know, I think maybe there's a whole.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Series that could be, you know, taking somebody from absolute,
you know, ridiculous behavior to almost the semblance of a
dance staff.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
But I don't know if I'm capable.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Mark L Wahlberg, what does the L stand for?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
You know, I at this point actually come up with
something funny. I don't have any money. If that's for Lewis.
I just added my middle initial to my professional name.
When Mark Wahlberg.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Started to become famous, Yeah, because I didn't want people
to be confused. I didn't want to look like I
try to, you know, steal his clout, and so I
wanted to different change his best. I think in person
it's easy to tell the difference. I have ads, but
you can't find them.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
His are more than a parent.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
There you go, Mark el Wahlberg, thank you so much
for your time. Have a great time tomorrow night. I
hope somebody wins big.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I hope so too. And I hope your listeners show
up and have a great time.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Me too, Me too. Thanks Mark, nice to meet you, man.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Nice to meet you too.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
All right, that is Mark Elle Wahlberg.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
