The confusion arose when an unfamiliar man walked onto the set mid-intro and began plugging his phone into an extension cable already in use for production equipment.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I\u2019m doing my intro, the team is set, camera one, two, three, DOP, sound guy, and suddenly, behind Gaucho, I see someone I\u2019ve never seen before plugging in his phone,&#8221; Obinna recounted, noting that the production manager was unexpectedly missing from the set at that critical moment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He added that his bodyguard, Munez, was also away from his post, contributing to the disorder.<\/p>\n<h4>A &#8216;By-the-Way Comment&#8217;<\/h4>\n<p>The host admitted that the visible disruption caused him to lose composure and question the whereabouts and competence of his production leadership.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It\u2019s the work of the production manager to make sure everything runs smoothly.
