NYC Insider Tip - How Long is a TV Taping?
While watching a live taping is a fun experience, even if you have tickets in hand for a live TV Show taping, it is a very long and slow process. Sometimes, tickets and reservations do not even guarantee you admission. You must arrive at the theater and wait in line for at least an hour, go through an audience warm up (30-60 min), and they often shoot additional footage at the end of the show...so if this is a must-see for you, go for it. Just remember how many other amazing New York City things to do there are! Read more on TV Show Tickets.
