John Williams went to the Oprah taping at the United Center. He was less than excited. His producer, Beth, was more than jealous. She was able to live vicariously through him as he texted her throughout the event.

JW - 6:22 - Kind of a cluster. Still hasn't started.
Beth - 6:24 - Embrace the O Gasam!

JW - 6:32 - Practicing clapping now. Really.
JW - 6:33 - We just practiced being quiet.

JW - 6:35 - Seriously? Screaming. Ouch.
JW - 6:37 - Song. I've got a feelingÂ…Screaming and the producer on stage being loud.
JW - 6:38 - Producer talking on stage about great audience
JW - 6:40 - Toews Daley here
JW - 6:41 - Take wrist bands off. Don't want to see them on tv. If it ever starts.
JW - 6:45 - They lie. 6pm? NoÂ…Producer just said yeah, we got more timeÂ…Someone is proposing on stage.
JW - 6:48 - Producer greeting people - celebs - in voice so shrill and loud I cannot understand
Beth - 6:49 - I know which producer you're talking about. She's ADORABLE.
JW - 6:49 - OK my bad.
JW - 6:49 - But this is her show?
Beth - 6:50 - Her job is to warm up the audience.
