After a long, hot walk: nope, just more fucking orange pumpkin-shaped Peeps and lots of pink, blue and yellow bird-shaped ones. So, Jeremy takes his sad boxes of wrong-colored Peeps down to the art department.

Now it's like 20 minutes before rehearsal. Jeremy's got other shit to do, so the art department decided to use some ORANGE KRYLON SPRAY PAINT and paint these Marshmallow Peeps orange, with hopes that they'll dry before the show.

The costume changes were super-insane and that's not something we bothered rehearsing before the show. The costumes, so fragile and thrown-together, would likely only survive one change anyway.

Throughout rehearsal, no one realizes that the painted Peeps are still wet to the touch. Four o'clock rolls around and it's showtime. The show's going as planned and we make it to D Block (that's three commercial breaks into the show) and Kevin and Olivia bolt back onto the set.

Kevin's wearing some kind of soft gray fabric vaguely reminiscent of a whale - honestly more shark than whale. Olivia looks like an old sea captain. There are stiff wires poking out of Kevin's back and at the end of each wire, a spray-painted orange Marshmallow Peep.pic.twitter.com/KmDmdLPYWn

The whole point of the Peeps is that it's funny when Olivia eats stuff, so in all of two hours of rehearsal SOMEONE must have told Olivia, "now, don't eat the Peeps, because they're covered in orange spray paint." But it's Kevin's costume, not Olivia's so no one warns her.

We're back from break now and Kevin and Olivia both explain their costumes. Kevin's the Fail Whale and Olivia's the salty whale hunter, so she's got a pair of wire cutters and she hacks off one of Kevin's Fail Whale Peeps. Then, they toss to a packaged segment.

As the package wraps up, Olivia and Kevin head back to their marks to toss to the commercial break. They read the toss and then, just before we roll the "coming up after the break" teaser, Olivia gets a mischievous look in her eyes.

Olivia reflexively grabs one of Kevin's orange Krylon spray-painted Peeps and stuffs it in her mouth. As we cut to commercial, Olivia's going "om nom nom nom" with orange/blue Peep all over her lips. She ate the whole thing in one bite.

All the producers were on set for every show to hoot and holler and laugh (and fake laugh) and clap - to make it sound like an audience - because real audiences cost money.

this question specifically has haunted me for years and i can finally rest easy knowing that audience was, as i suspected, just like a half dozen crew people
