- Hi, this is Tamar again and I am back with Alex,

our amazingly talented makeup department head

and today we're gonna be talking about

Jacob and Kimia's episode, AKA-

- Beets. - Beets.

At first we were going to have them be safari tourists

with some sort of animal in a BabyBjorn

that Jacob was going to carry around with him.

Then we kind of realized after just talking a lot

that it seemed like it wasn't gonna be

that big of a transformation

and we wanted to have this kind of wow

when they saw themselves in the mirror.

We decided on what we named it, Elizabethan,

and then they ended up turning them into these French dolls,

probably without knowing French is what I'm gonna guess.

I know Vic ended up knowing French,

which was even funnier.

(Zonton and Marionette conversing in "French")

- Je parle un peu français.

- Huh?

- This one was a fun one.

We had an artist help us build the cage, the cage wig,

and she did an incredible job and you and I

had discussed, Tamar, that we wanted it

to be a little more silly so we hollowed out this wig

and then we ended up placing lights in it and a bird in it

and just silly decorative items inside the wig for her

to kind of play with or utilize

if she notices them in her reveal.

I think originally the bird,

we were going to have Jacob have a entire bird face as well

and I think in all the iterations we changed it

to simplifying him

and doing a different type of makeup on him.

But we still wanted that bird,

the Easter egg of it being in there.

And the wig was really light,

but we had a braider come in

and prep the hair appropriately

so that we could really rig it in there

so she could have a lot of movement.

We had no idea how she was going to perform

and we weren't sure how extreme her movements

were going to be,

depending on how she decided on her character

so we kind of had to be prepared for anything.

(Kimia imitating trumpet)

- We kind of very last minute decided since this format

for a show is so different than anything

any of us have really worked on before,

we thought that it would be important to do

kind of like a little dress rehearsal

to figure out the run of show.

We had Jacob come in for our dress rehearsal

since Jacob and Vic are on a improv team together,

they knew that they would have a really great rapport.

The characters that we were going to put Jacob and Kimia in

in the beginning with tourists,

I think, we had a shirt from when we were

thinking about doing the tourist character

so we threw the shirt on him

and then I brought the BabyBjorn that I used on my daughter

and so he wore that.

I remember the entire time, I'm pretty sure that he thought

that we were doing some sort of game

or prank for game changer.

- There was a bit of a panic, I remember,

because they we're prepping and we have everything laid out

and we don't have the code names on it yet

and they're like, "Jacob's in the house!"

And we're scurrying everywhere

to hide all the different characters.

Luckily we built boxes for each character

and then put the code name on the outside,

but everything was out 'cause we were still

finalizing pre-pass or any of those things

and the rule was Jacob couldn't know about

any of the characters because we didn't want him

to give it away or have a reaction by accident

and so it was just, I think, a mad dash

to hide everything when he had entered the studio.
