The producer should tell the talent: 'the host will greet you, then straight to the first question. Don't waste time with greetings or thank you, this is not a social meeting, it is a stage performance.
The producer should also remind any newbie that the questions are for the audience, so you might think we know the answers, but the audience won't. Keep that in mind. You are playing to the audience, not the interviewer.
