They do that on television shows often, augmenting the applause. I even remember that there was a track that was always used for the series GOOD TIMES. Whenever one of the actors said something inspirational, you could hear this woman loudly saying "Right on!" When I was a kid, I used to wonder how she made it to every show. Of course, now I know she didn't.
In some cases, the same fake applause was also used on albums. You can hear the same applause used on ON BROADWAY, the Pips' ALL IN A KNIGHT'S WORK, and STEVIE WONDER LIVE.
