It is time for a very special part of our show today.
Now it is not a time to be very serious.
You might even find this part of our show a little bit funny.
Well, that's great! I love it when there are funny parts of shows.
Andrea, what are we doing?
Well, we are going to play a game called What's That Word?
What's That Word?
What's That Word?
Now friends, we are going to give you the letters in one of our key words.
But these letters are not in the right place.
It's your job to tell us what the key word is.
Now here are the letters: M-A-R-D-A.
M-A-R-D-A is MAR-DA, right? MAR-DA.
Uh... Well no, Gabe.
You're being funny, aren't you? You're being funny.
Yeah. Well, not being serious.
No, no, no. OK, now these letters are not in the right order.
OK.
You need to change them to find our key word.
Key word from today. M-A-R-D-A. Five letters.
Let's see. It's... it's not funny.
I know what it is. It's DRAMA, D-R-A-M-A.
Am I right?

M-A-R-D-A becomes DRAMA, D-R-A-M-A.
Well friends, let's continue with today's drama.
We make many different kinds of shows here at the TV station.
We do! Our TV station makes a lot of shows.
But we don't have a game show.
Do you like game shows, Rob?
Yes. I love game shows.
I want to be on a game show one day.
Do you want to win money or prizes?

when you make a TV show,
that means you put everything together, so you have a TV show that people can
watch.
Now how do you make a TV show?
Well, you need many people to work together.
You might need to write something.
You can find actors to act or someone to host.

watch and enjoy.
