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

I don't know what these yahoos that saw letterman are talking about...
I went his final year and got tickets with no issue a few weeks in advance. Was pretty close to the beginning of his final season, so no real interest yet.
Ed Sullivan theater is extremely big for a set. Fallon is an intimate experience. Very little seating from when I went on a tour of his set at the Rock. Letterman is massive when you account for the seating in the balcony as well.
The entire show felt extremely forced. The interns coach you before you enter the theater. They tell you to laugh when you see the the light or hear what you think is a joke. If other people are laughing they tell you to laugh too. Basically if it could be funny to someone they tell you to laugh the best you can. They pick specific people to sit in the visible areas, so if you want a good seat, dress nice and look good. They coach you the entire time. They will move people and put in seat fillers if they don't like you. Don't try to go to the bathroom lol. One lady never came back to her family, permanently replaced by a seat filler.
We saw Johnny Depp, it was amazing how much they cut from that fricked up interview. That dude isn't right in the head, drugs fricked that man up bad.
Paul and the band was great though l, better than the musical guest who I don't remember.
My experience wasn't a good one with Letterman. Just felt totally fake. Dave barely talked to the crowd at all. I would be interested in seeing someone else though.
