Hollywood crew films TV special highlighting Mississippi Tuesday, August 17, 2010, 9:26 AM Michael Dumas, Press-Register MICHAEL DUMAS/Press-Register A crew films members of Ricky Skaggs' band during rehearsal for the taping of a television special highlighting Mississippi at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi on Aug. 16. BILOXI -- It had all the makings of a landmark concert. On Monday afternoon, the Mississippi Coast Coliseum was bustling with activity. An enormous crew swept chairs and cables out of the way, while cameras of every sophistication focused in on a massive stage exploding with light, while world-class musicians performed in the spotlight. "You just had Hollywood invade you." So said David McKenzie, an executive producer and "television packager," who was chosen -- in part by the efforts of Gov. Haley Barbour -- to produce a one-hour television special highlighting the best of Mississippi for the CW television network. The special, which is yet to be named, will first air on the CW at 7 p.m. Aug. 27 and be repeated on the Hallmark Channel Sept. 1. It will then be broadcast on Country Music Television before being syndicated for use throughout the year -- all to bring visitors and their economic impact to the state. "This is a big project," said McKenzie, who also produced this year's Daytime Emmy Awards. "Out of the four states that were affected by this, this is the only state that's going to have a one-hour prime time television special on the CW Network." The special will be hosted by perennial television personality David Hasselhoff and feature a variety of entertainers both performing and getting out into local communities to highlight the best of Mississippi living. Performing onstage will be several country and crossover stars, including Ricky Skaggs, Montgomery Gentry, Terri Clark, Taylor Hicks, Lone Star and Ace Young. Actors and other celebrities are also involved, including Dean Cain, Shannon Elizabeth and the Massey Brothers, Chris and Kyle. Interviews will also be featured with stars such as Morgan Freeman, B.B. King and Jimmy Buffett. In addition to the taping of the musical performances Monday and today, other crews have been filming eight spots with celebrities everywhere from local seafood restaurants to commercial fishing boats and other small businesses. "These are really important stories," McKenzie said. "We talk to these people, and they tell us what they have to offer, and they show (the celebrities) how fun it is to be down here and how they're just waiting for the business to come on down." But the production didn't just highlight business, it brought its own, as Gov. Barbour insisted McKenzie hire as many locals as possible to assist in the various shoots. McKenzie said he took that direction seriously. "We've been able, in the last week, to throw several hundred jobs your way, at least," he said. And there's still work to do. Beginning at 8 p.m., producers will be shooting the main portion of the musical component and are inviting anyone who wants to show up to the coliseum to stand in as extras during the shoot, filling in seats and cheering like a real crowd would. McKenzie said he expects as many as 2,000. Long Beach resident Robin Perrett didn't have to be asked twice. In fact, she was one of a handful of people who came to sit in a day early, just in case. "We just wanted to come and be a part of the audience here," said Perrett, who pulled her daughter out of high school to attend the taping. "It's awesome. I love Ricky Scaggs!" Even with all the commotion, production and logistical challenges swirling about, McKenzie keeps his eye on the proverbial ball while watching it all from the shadows. "The big thing is, I don't want to talk about the oil spill anymore," he said. "I want to talk about how good it is to come down here. The oil spill is over; just come over here and give us your money." http://blog.gulflive.com/mississippi-press-living/2010/08/hollywood_crew_films_tv_special_highlighting_mississippi.html |

Network TV special highlights Mississippi Gulf Coast Aug 17, 2010 9:30 AM EDT BILOXI, MS (WLOX) - The stage is set for stars like David Hasselhoff and American Idol's Taylor Hicks to perform Tuesday night at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi. It's all part of a one-hour television special airing on the CW network August 27th. The hope is to send the message that the coast is open for business in the months following the oil spill. Monday afternoon, it was lights, camera and star power as pop artists like Drake Bell took the stage. Joining Bell were Disney channel stars Chris and Kyle Massey, country artist Ricky Skaggs and American Idol's Ace Young. "I heard about it on the radio, and I just rushed here to see what it was all about," says Monet Jackson of Biloxi. Before the show, a couple of pint-size dancing divas were outside practicing their best dance moves. Cousins Faith Adams and Olivia Lopez of St. Martin got up close and personal with some of the stars in Ocean Springs. Olivia's mom, Bridget, said it was a treat for everyone. "Sunday, they got a chance to eat with Drake Bell and the Massy brothers, talk to them and spend a little bit of time with them. They also got to be part of the taping that's going to be aired," Lopez said. Lopez's daughter, Olivia, and niece, Faith, got some keep sakes from their meeting with the stars. They took pictures and got autographs. "It was really cool. I was surprised that it was them. I was really excited," Faith said. During the special, people will experience the Mississippi Gulf Coast as the stars take excursions to the beach, Ship Island and catfishing. But, most importantly, through their experiences, they'll tell the stories of people on the coast. "We're telling great stories. Not only are the stars singing and doing musical numbers, but they're telling great stories about tourism," said Executive Producer David McKenzie. "What people need to understand is despite going through a natural disaster and man-made disaster, we're not giving up," Norman said. Tuesday's concert is free. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. People are encouraged to get free tickets starting Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. through showtime at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi. The concert was an initiative from Governor Haley Barbour's office. The special will air on the CW network August 27th. http://www.wdam.com/Global/story.asp?S=12989757 |

I wonder how much of what is taped will actually make the TV airing .......... I wonder if Taylor will be playing with a generic band I wonder if there will be talking with the people who are participating or just music I wonder if they will show Taylor's ad and the ad of others who might be present I wonder if this will air on the 27 as indicated by all the publicity as recent as this morning or if it is on the 25th as mentioned by Taylor at Knucleheads. Taylor is not known for getting some of his information ( dates ) correct so I am betting on the 27th................LOL |

CHECK YOUR LOCAL LISTINGS FOR CHANNEL IN YOUR AREA: http://www.cwtv.com/thecw/stations/ IT'S CHANNEL 384 FOR DIRECT TV; Channel 44 cable Tuesday, Aug. 17, 2010 ‘Gulf Is Back’ tribute plays to full house By LEIGH COLEMAN - Special to the Sun Herald BILOXI — Emmy-winning producer David McKenzie said it’s time to tell the country the Coast is just as glamorous and exciting as Hollywood. “The Coast and the rest of Mississippi have kindness, hospitality and incredible scenes here that you do not find very much,” McKenzie said. “You have so much to offer people. It is time to market this place and get into the real game.” McKenzie, president of the Associated Television International, along with director Jeff Margolis and other top names in the movie industry, have been filming a special designed to counteract the effects of the oil spill on the Gulf of Mexico, and on Coast tourism. Gallery:‘Gulf Is Back’ tribute plays to full house “The Gulf Is Back” will air on the CW Network at 8 p.m EST . Aug. 27.http://www.sunherald.com/2010/08/18/2412492/gulf-is-back-tribute-plays-to.html#http://media.sunherald.com/smedia/2010/08/18/00/20100818-005400-pic-517900238.standalone.prod_affiliate.77.jpg Taylor pictures Music fans packed the Coast Coliseum on Tuesday night to watch headliners perform. David Hasselhoff, known as “The Hoff,” kicked off the taping before a packed house. His first song, “Feeling Good,” thrilled the crowd. “The sultry stage lighting featured a starlit backdrop and The Hoff’s big voice resembled one of those big shows in the movies,” Kim Sullivan said at the taping. Hasselhoff told the Sun Herald when the opportunity came up to help the Coast, he jumped at it. “We just finished the roast and it was such a hit,” he said. “It was perfect timing that the light could shine here on the Coast. This is a great place and people need to know it.” Other musical performances filmed during the Coliseum concert featured Lonestar, Terri Clark, Bo Bice and Taylor Hicks. The show will also highlight fishing trips, boat rides and other hot spots along the Coast with stars Ricky Skaggs, Ace Young, Kyle and Chris Massey, Drake Bell, Brian McKnight, Dean Cain, Shannon Elizabeth and B.B. King.The television special is one in a series of initiatives being coordinated through the governor’s office to promote the Gulf Coast as a tourism and convention destination. “I owe it to Gov. Haley Barbour for standing behind the people of Mississippi,” McKenzie said. “I do not think our California governor would be doing all of this for us. This show will air during a prime-time network and not just cable. That is a big deal.” http://www.sunherald.com/2010/08/17/2412491/gulf-is-back-tribute-plays-to.html?storylink=addthis#ixzz0wxMX6k6P |

Jazzy, Tink and I were busy doing "shoebox" inventory and watching this on my 42 incher-believe me when Taylor came on it became really HARD to count bars of soap!!!!!!!!!  This was a dynamite performance and as usual Taylor rocked the house-and I LOVE the fact that he was introduced as "Alabama's spokesperson for the Gulf"-so true so true!! Selfishly I would have loved to have seen WRIR-but hey-how can you top "Come On Mississippi" while on stage in Biloxi??? Way to go Taylor! Edited by Oldiebutgoodie, Aug 27 2010, 10:30 PM.
