Although many television shows are taped in L.A. now, there are still plenty of opportunities to be part of a studio audience in New York City. Some shows are live and others are taped for later airing. All of the TV audience opportunities are free. It’s a fun way to see your favorite stars and get a behind-the-scenes look at the entertainment industry.
You usually have to make arrangements for tickets in advance, so you’ll need to do a little planning before you take your trip to the city.
Shows that use studio audiences include The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Saturday Night Live, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The View, Rachel Ray, The Dr. Oz Show, Inside the Actors Stuio, Good Morning American, and Today.
