​

Question: How many episodes are in your first season?

Answer: There are eight episodes in season one of Why Not U

​

Question: How will the performance be presented as it is being filmed on Zoom?

Answer: To ensure the highest quality performance to the audience, performers that we choose for the show will pre-tape their performance and send it in to our producer ahead of the live show taping.

 

Question: Does the embassy/performer get spots in the audience during the show?

Answer: Yes, during the live show, we will reserve zoom audience spots for 

1. One Embassy representative

2. The performer(s)

This way, the host maybe able to refer to and interact with the artist once their (pre-taped) performance has been played for the Zoom audience.
