Why did they say the pageant was their first live show? - People in Concert

Multiple times throughout the movie Hairspray, they make numerous references to the Corny Collins show being broadcast live. So why, on the day of the Ms. Teenage Hairspray pageant, do they say it's their first live show?

Specifically the 2007 version of Hairspray.

Although the action at the start of the movie makes it clear that the show is live. Looking at script it seems to be that it is the first time that the show has had a live studio audience.
