Before appearing on the program, Gao Yang almost had no communication with the TV station. He left everything to Murphy, who found someone unknown, and in short, all Gao Yang needed to do was make a TV appearance to satisfy the burgeoning curiosity of the public.
Therefore, Gao Yang was not familiar enough with the program he was going on. He knew the program was special and highly regarded, but he was still startled when he saw the hosts because the lineup was too grand.
Fox News arranged for three hosts: one was O'Reilly, the ace host of Fox's flagship news program, an old man known for his sharp tongue. He always liked to pose tricky questions to interviewees, making him a very acerbic and challenging host to deal with.
Perhaps thinking that one ace host wasn't enough, or maybe fearing that O'Reilly's acerbity might tense up the atmosphere, Fox News also sent Ryan Seacrest, the host of American Idol.
