My options were New York, Atlanta or Los Angeles. Why did you choose to move to Los Angeles after receiving your degree? You’ve been in the entertainment field since 1998, having been born in Philadelphia, PA, then finishing your BFA degree in New York City and London. Our longest stretch was probably about two and a half weeks. We stayed on the road knocking out 3-5 cities at a time.
While shooting the show, there were a couple breaks in the schedule that allowed time off by which I could go home or visit friends and family close to any of our locations. I would travel all year round if I could. In many, if not all cases, your own personal schedule and availability dictates the ability to participate. Fortunately for our heroes, the time off needed was no more than a week in total which was split over time 2-3 days here, 3-4 days there. Not sure of the specifics for Roots Less Traveled but when I participated in a reality show as a contestant, it was up to us to take the time off. I have no say in choosing the families that appear on the show. When it comes to choosing the families for our show, that is outside my jurisdiction. Are you made aware of any backend production things such as: a) How do these people get enough time off of work to be on the show, which includes traveling? b) Do you get to help choose which families get on the show? Roots Less Traveled follow families who take the trip of a lifetime to discover their roots. All the responses, reactions and conversations are not scripted. Roots Less Traveled is scripted only for structure and organization. Rumor has it, between the casting director, my agent and the production company they had been looking for a show for me and Roots Less Traveled happened to be the perfect show at the perfect time. I never auditioned for Roots Less Traveled in the traditional sense.
Normally, when you get an audition for any project it comes with a breakdown containing all the details on role(s) being cast and what the project is about. I found out about Roots Less Traveled when I booked it. What attracted you to this series? How were you chosen for the role of host? Your show Roots Less Traveled just started airing on April 4, 2020. You still keep crazy hours, travel to parts of the world you never would have gone to, sit in hair and makeup memorize the script and probably a lot more than can think of as I write this run-on sentence.įaruq Tauheed takes us through the steps he went through to become one of television’s top hosts. Sure, you may not have to build and portray a character, but you still need to entertain the audience.
We spun the Wheel of Fortune and it landed on Faruq Tauheed! Yes, THE Faruq, the host of Battlebots! And now he’s the host of a new show on NBC called Roots Less Traveled. Jimmy Kimmel, Oprah Winfrey, Faruq Tauheed, Ellen DeGeneres, David Letterman, James Corden.ĭo you recognize all of the above names as television show hosts? You betcha’!
