I'm not sure where you get the idea about the laugh track. They may run one for the Rush/Ann skit. However, the main segment of the show is taped before a live audience, as can be seen by watching it. That being true, I suspect the laughs on the Rush/Ann skit may come from the actual audience, which may be watching a tape of the skit. If there are any Fox News people reading this thread who know haw the pilots were produced, it would be nice for them to post a reply and settle the issue.

I didn’t realize they have an audience. In these cases, the audience is told when to laugh. Notice that they all laugh on cue and unnaturally loud.

They can also add the laugh track later…What ever.

But anyway, I found the whole thing annoying. Ann and Rush were okay. The few minutes I saw after Ann and Rush disappeared were boring. But, I’m glad other folks enjoyed it. I am the one who didn’t…I say off with everyone’s heads!!! : )

Use your ears. Whether or not there is a live audience, there is most definitely a laugh track.
