Dancing with the Stars original Mirrorball Trophy was made up of lamp pieces and tape
https://deadline.com/2025/11/dancing...in-1236625058/
“Literally, it was a piece of a lamp,” says longtime production designer James Yarnell, who shopped at Lamps Plus. “It was a big tall thing with all these pieces in it, and we unscrewed it … there were the two pieces that seemed to fit.” ABC worried, though, that Yarnell’s creation wasn’t tall enough, so Yarnell quickly added a roll of packing tape to the bottom to the cylinder to give it some much-needed height. “I covered it in gold foil,” says Yarnell. “We went on camera with this thing held together with a piece of a lamp and tape and that was it. It looked like shiny gold but you didn’t know what it was. I mean, nobody knew what it was.” |
