People were collapsing on the ground while running to the porta-potties ?
The NBC television show “Ultimate Slip ‘N Slide” was forced to halt production this past week due to an outbreak of “awful explosive diarrhea” on the set.
The Wrap reported that a crew member on the set in Simi Valley, California tested positive for giardia, which is a parasite that causes diarrhea. Over forty crew members quickly fell ill on the set, with one source close to production saying that the outbreak of “awful explosive diarrhea” left people “collapsing” on set and “being forced to run into port-o-potties.”
An NBC rep said that while many on the crew fell ill, hosts Bobby Moynihan and Ron Funches were not sickened in the outbreak.
“The health and safety of everyone on our set is our number one priority, so out of an abundance of caution we have made the decision to stop production of ‘Ultimate Slip ‘N Slide’ at the current location,” Universal Television Alternative Studios said in a statement obtained by People Magazine. “We are in the process of determining next steps in order to complete production.”
Representatives for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and Ventura County Public Health declined to comment when contacted by the press.
