Les Moms were beaucoup thrilled to appear on French TV! But while shopping for potiron and turkey trimmings may have looked like a walk in the Parc Monceau, Les Moms learned that there’s a lot of work behind the scenes. It took about 12 hours of filming to get our little 6-minute segment. Luckily, la belle journaliste Clémence and hilarious cameraman Franck made it a Thanksgiving we’ll never forget.
Merci l’equipe!
Here’s what went down:
Take One: Squash – Fascinating!
Clémence: Now you should select some gourdes for your table setting. Zey are very belle, non?
(Stephanie and Allison chat animatedly while choosing miniature squash.)
Franck: Très bien! Now let’s do eet again.
One hour later…
Franck: Très bien! One more take.
Stephanie: Stick your neck out! Your double chin is showing.
Allison: Merde. Thanks. You need to get a little more excited about the damn squash.
Stephanie (letting loose): Oh, mon dieu! C’est tellement chou ce petit pumpkin!!!
Allison : Now that’s good TV.
Take Two: No Naked Turkeys
Clémence: Now Stéphanie can take all of the plats to the table. Ze turkey ees zee star.
Allison: Wait, we can’t do this. The turkey is just on a serving platter. I can’t serve a naked turkey on French national TV!
Stephanie: Huh?
Allison: You know, it has to have some parsley or something on it. What do you have?
Stephanie: Some onions? I don’t know, lemon slices?
Allison: My belle-mère will die of shame! Hey, why don’t we throw some fresh cranberries on the side?
Clémence: Does your turkey have eets clothes on now? Allez, on filme!
Take Three: Fake Some Conversation
Clémence: Alors, now you can have a nice friendly chat entre copines. Zere will be no sound.
Allison: So we can say whatever we want?
Clémence: Oui.
Franck: Je filme!
Stephanie: Can you still see that zit on my chin?
Allison: No, but you need more blush. Do you think that gendarme who sent you love letters back in the day will see the show?
Stephanie: God, I hope not! So what do you think of Franck?
Allison: Definitely cute. He can cook my turkey anytime.
Stephanie: Totally agree. And Clémence is set for a career as a TV presenter for sure.
Clémence: Ca va les filles?
Stephanie & Allison (with big American smiles): Bien sûr!
Joyeux Sanksgiving!
