You can watch a stream of just the phone banks as well.

Also, they weren't really getting many calls. Then, you could hear someone cue them "Everyone on your phones" and then the broadcast went live on them. I died laughing. I have no idea how much is staged. I just noticed it because I have my tv on watching it while I do paperwork and my computer streaming the other.
