And by the way, on some of [the Internet’s guesses], they’re wrong.
He could come back.
I wouldn’t go to Vegas and bet on it, but you never know.
What was behind the decision to do it that way?It came down to a couple things.
We wanted to try something different.
So we definitely wanted to try out doing multiple eliminations at that stage in the game.
What went through your mind in that moment?Oh my god.
If we had cameras in the booth at that time, you would have seen panic stricken producers.
At a certain point, you just say, “Go with it.
Just roll with it Nick [Cannon, the host].
Let’s play this all the way through to the very end.”
So, we were scared and excited at the same time that it was happening.
I like that it actually happenedonce.
I don’t want this ever to be repeated again, personally.
We really want to keep the idea that it’s not your regular competition show.
This is something completely different, and we embrace the wacky, the crazy, and also the unexpected.
What can you tell me about season 5?
[In season 4], we had some incredible singers.
It’s been given a 2021 release date.
Do you have anything more specific than that yet?No.
I don’t have the exact dates yet from Fox.
There’s also the premiere ofThe Masked Danceron Dec. 27.
It was very scary trying to do that because we thought are we giving away too much?
But it really did spark a lot of conversation.
It made me really nervous, because they were like getting too close too early on.
I can’t control it because it’s a guessing game.
But that just shows you the format works with dancing.
The great thing aboutDanceris, you never know what’s going to come out next.
It could be a solo routine.
It could be a duet dancing.
It could be all of a sudden a gigantic dance number with dozens of people on the floor.
You never know what’s gonna hit the floor until they actually start dancing.
And the show starts off with a bang.
The first two minutes are this one production number that is close to worthy of a Super Bowl performance.
So I would highly recommend to everyone not to miss that first couple minutes of it.
