Ignatiy Vishnevetsky is 16 inches taller than his co-host, Christy Lemire. Lemire's seat is raised slightly higher than Vishnevetsky's to allow the two to be at eye level during the show.
The series went on hiatus at the end of 2011 to allow Chaz Ebert and Roger Ebert to find a new way to finance the show.
The seats used by co-hosts Christy Lemire and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky are the original seats occupied by Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel when they hosted their first show, "Sneak Previews." They were found in storage at the studio where the program is produced.
Roger Ebert originally planned a series with Richard Roeper, Michael Phillips and Christy Lemire. The show was to air in syndication but the deal never materialized.
