be an audience member for a TV show taping

Did this many years ago out in LA CA. It takes a lot of time, and was not all that fun. But, we had the time and now I know. I would like to be in Oprah’s audiance someday, or the Tonight Show with Leno. Worth it if you pick a good show to be at!

the ideal ones to go to would be deal or no deal, ellen degeneres, dancing with the stars, or the moment of truth. i think those three would be amazing.

I don’t know, I just don’t care to anymore.

I took my mother last week to watch the recording of Have I Got News For You and we had an excellent time. Clive Anderson was the host, he was really funny. Although the show is only 30 minutes long they film over two hours of footage so it was a great evening’s entertainment.

We have been promised tickets for a taping of Have I Got News for you in November, after trying unsuccessfully for ages to get them, which is good news. I am going with my mother who is really excited. They are not guaranteed seats so we will need to be there ages beforehand to make sure of getting a place, but that’s okay. We are hoping that the host and the guests will be really funny. Hopefully I can finally tick this one off as done in a month or so.

I happened to go to two tapings all within a week or so of each other! The first was for So You Think You Can Dance, season 3. The second was for The Pussycat Dolls Search for the Next Doll or whatever it’s called.

SYTYCD was an amazing taping and I would totally do it again! Pussycat Dolls.. not so much. Poor organization and we were basically kept waiting hours and hours for a few minutes of taping. But apparently that’s how taping goes – it can be awesome or lame!

We were visiting California and near the Chinese Theater when someone came up and asked if we would like to attend a taping of a new show. We said sure.

It turns out, it was the first episode being taped for Martin Lawrence’s self-titled show, Martin.

This ended up being one of my all time favorite shows!

I think I may have mentioned in a previous post that I have a particular show in mind for this, Have I got news for you. Tickets are like gold dust so I am not hopeful of getting any when the next batch are released, but I will do my best to try. It would be a really great gift for my mother if I succeed, she loves that show.

I really wanted to book tickets for the new series of Have I Got News for You – my mother loves the show so I wanted to take her to watch it being taped as a surprise. The tickets were released one day last week at 3pm. I had been told that they’re always snapped up quickly so I logged on and applied right at 3pm, but still I received an email a day or so later saying that tickets had run out. Arghh! I suppose it’ll be six months or so before they release tickets for the next series, so I’m a bit disappointed that I missed out.
