re: Have any of you ever been in the audience of a late night talk show?

what i mean by real time is it takes an hour to film an hour show.

they film at 5:30pm, but they have a timer off stage and they take schedule breaks just like they do on TV, even though its taped ahead of time. they would take a 3-4 minute break and makeup people would come out and fix fallon and/or the guests hair and makeup and shite.

they had a stage manager that came out 20 minutes before they went live and did some stand up to the crowd and gave us a "what to expect" and "what to do/not do".


very cool experience. i thought it was funny that they stopped filming twice to reshoot because of random shite. one time Fallon was in the middle of interviewing Rock and he just said "cut, cut, im getting weird feedback in my earpiece". they gave him a new one and they started over with him asking Rock the same question and edited it later.


if you can do it, i highly recommend. very neat
