| What you'll see in the 'Shark Tank' season that almost didn't happen |
| | Good morning,
Shark Tank almost came up empty for season 12.
After Covid-19 safety concerns significantly delayed production for the latest season, the hit ABC show was moved at the 11th hour from Sony Studios in Los Angeles to the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas. "We didn't know if it was going to be shot," Shark Tank investor Barbara Corcoran tells Inc. "We were waiting and waiting on the state to give approvals for filming and then finally when we decided to take it out of the state it got pulled together so quickly in Las Vegas."
While Corcoran says the location change didn't make it harder to field pitches from entrepreneurs, new safety protocols did change a few aspects of the show. On set, the sharks are 20 feet apart and have speakers so they can hear each other. The entrepreneurs are also much farther away when pitching.
That could change the fundamental nature of the pitches--and how the Sharks respond to them. Check out our story for a behind-the-scenes look at what you’ll see in the Shark Tank season that almost never happened, which premieres on Friday at 8 p.m. Eastern. |
