“It’s obviously a risk, a risk that backfired. Because, unbeknownst to anyone, they have an internal lock in the bedroom. Who has an internal lock on their bedroom door?!” he shared with Roman and Clara.
He elaborated: “So, I got all the way to the door and it’s locked. The door is locked, I can’t get in. Then, I can hear them freaking out because they start to get a sense that there’s people outside the bedroom. And they are totally freaking out. They eventually opened the door.”
Michael revealed the moment won’t be included in the main show, adding: “It’s not in the show, and I probably shouldn’t be saying it, but he had a weapon. Yes, I could’ve died that night on the Midnight Game Show, at the hands of Sam Thompson!”
