For the CitizenM TV show, the Livestream doesn't need to be Live! We had 3 days of production, with plenty of time for me to meet the C-level execs and get to know them. We pre-recorded the transitions, and I spoke in the voiceovers. The priority on-set was to keep the vibe of a normal offsite event, as much as possible. And yes, the top management were way too dry in the first take. But with a couple of retakes - and me more actively engaging them - the managers managed to loosen up and feel like they were talking to their team, in person. I really appreciated hearing it back in the comments, like "You made us feel comfortable Greg, it was a joy. Many thanks!"
