As the man stated, "Hee Haw" was taped at WTVF, the CBS affiliate in Nashville (whose calls were WLAC when the show started) in a studio not much bigger than a broom closet, so they had to come up with a way of taping a national show in close quarters. To give an idea of how free-wheeling things were, one day when stagehand Cathy Baker showed up for work wearing coveralls, they decided to put her on camera and she delivered the show's "That's all!" signoff for the entire run.
By 1981 the show had moved to the much bigger facility at Opryland Productions next to the Opry House (which was about to be renamed the Nashville Network), but they continued to tape the show in two-to-three week spurts in the same manner until they went off the air.
