We left the taping at about 4:15, which was a bit lengthy. My husband even found them of interest, and was relieved that there were several men in the audience. We found the segments to be interesting - some lighthearted, some heavy. The segments are filmed before different parts of the audience, so it really doesn't matter (again), where you are sitting. They tell you watch the web site to see when they will be on air. Several different segments are taped while you are there, and they are spliced into different shows. He kept things moving between breaks, telling us when to clap, stand, sit, etc. Not bad, for being in the last group to be admitted into the studio! You are told to put all of your belongings beneath your seat, so nothing is showing on camera.Ī "warm up" comedian talks with the audience, and he was hilarious. We were seated in the middle section, far side, in the fourth row. We were finally admitted into the studio, and there were three sections of seats that were quite spread out. It was fun and the staff was entertaining. I answered a question and won a calendar. Again, it does not make a difference!!! During this wait time, trivia questions were asked, and small prizes were given out. There was seating for everyone, and again, some people refused to sit down and stood up in front, I guess thinkiing that they would get better seats when seated in the studio. We were than taken to a waiting room and were there for about 45 minutes. Take advantage of the bathrooms before entering the elevators, as that is your last opportunity. From there, you will be taken by groups in elevators to the next floor.
You will be given a ticket upon entry and then will go through security. If the weather is bad, do yourself a favor, and don't bother with arriving early. We were told to be in line at 12:45, and you are promptly taken in at this time. Trust me, this does not make any difference, as seating for the show is very random.
This was very rude, and amazingly, they were taken in sooner. However, several people had to crowd around the door, hoping for a quicker entry. Most people were polite and followed this direction. Outside, there is a sign indicating where to form a line. There is no contact number to call to verify your information, so it seemed rather indefinite, but all went smoothly when we entered. I will explain the process.Īll confirmation is done on-line, and you do not have a ticket until entering the building.
My husband and I attended a taping of this show last week and enjoyed our experience.
