Dear Friends of Hot Tamales Live!

Congratulations America, today is the beginning of a new season of HOPE for our country…  

Our show which brings a message of "Uniting Races Through Laughter"  is coming to the airwaves in what seems to be God’s perfect timing!! 

We are so grateful for your interest in our show. Everyone has been emailing us asking how the show went so I wanted to send a quick overview!! 

Our Sho– wtime Taping on Sunday January 18th at the El Rey Theater was SOLD OUT!!!

We had beautiful audience which included many celebrities like Jimmy Smits, Wanda De Jesus, Dorian Gregory, Shondrella (Napoleon Dynamite, The Secret Lives of Bees etc), Amaury Nolasco, (Prison Break, Transformers and more), Jennifer Morrison (House) Dr Brian and Susan Evans (DR 90210) and many many more..

Maria Conchita Alonzo,  who did not think she wouldbe able to attend, she had a prior commitment ….but she made a great effort to be there for the opening of the show…. that meant the world to us!!!

We are so grateful to you because we admire your work and having you there inspired the cast!!!

The cast did a stellar performance: Amy Anderson, Nadine Rajabi, Jill Michele Melean, Kira Soltanovich, The Ambassador of Looooove VALENTINO, Thea Vidal and ince we have a free trade agreement with Canada…Nikki Payne!!!! LOL

The show was PURE MAGIC!!!

The hard work of all involved: Executive Producers Scott Montoya, Neil Marshall supplied great sets and amazing lighting as well as a totally professional production.

Executive Producer David Albert Pierce was at hand making sure all was good to go!!

Thanks to amazing friends like: Birgit Muller, Karen Allman, Genea Sobel PR, Charlie Lapson,   Danny Oliva, Dave Cobert, Mark/Carmen Steffens, Bonnie Rodezno, and Maria Bravo for going the extra mile to fully support our show!!!!!!

 Also to EVERY SINGLE one of you who attended our live taping…We are forever GRATEFUL!

The Future….We are shooting until beginning of APRIL (behind the scenes on each performer and some hilarious sketches)

Once we deliver a final cut to SHOWTIME we will be given an AIRDATE!!!!!      

As soon as we have a confirmed air date we will have a PREMIERE party (hoping for mid April for the party)  for all our fans, supporters, celebrities, press, family and friends so that you can view the finished 90 minute Hot Tamales Live Special and spread the word!!!

We had an amazing response from the  live audience I have included a few please read below:

Saw John (was there with Claudia) and told him to tell you hello and how great it was – hope he did? Anyway, it was so much fun, sooo entertaining. Hard to pick a favorite! Thanks, and hope to see you and the girls soon.
Best, Nancy

This is great! I was going to e-mail you too — Nancy and I had a great time. You were a wonderful host and I was laughing all the way home AGAIN. And I loved the "Canadian Tamale" — (what DO they put in the water up there???) Hilarious — I think you’ve got a hit on your hands.
All best, xx, Claudia
