This was a fine experience. I'm not really a Fallon fan but the experience of watching a 'live to…read moretape' recording was pretty interested. We didn't have tickets, so we went to the gift shop at 30 rock through the 6th ave entrance to score some stand-by tickets. We arrived what I would call late, at about 11am. If you want to get these stand-by tickets I'd recommend arriving as close to 8am as you can, because every ticket is numbered and they can only fit so many people into the studio (they will always try to fill it). If I recall correctly the tickets said to come back to 30 rock at 3:15 but note - if you arrive a bit later, say 3:30, it won't effect your chances of getting in - the most you can do to increase your chances to see a show that day by walking in is to get there at 8am when they first start giving out the numbered stand-by tickets. Also, while they say you cant bring in bags, I had a smaller sized north face backpack and my friend had a large plastic bag and a small purse. If your number gets you in to see the show that day, you will pass through security like at an airport. Everything is extremely orderly and organized, the only stressful part is 'am I going to get in to see the show or did I just spend an hour and a half of my day for nothing.' My friend and I just got in under the wire, with the guy behind us being the very last person to stand-by for this day's show (there were about 56 stand-by visitors accepted that day). You will have an opportunity to use a bathroom before you sit for the filming, so don't be concerned about that. If you're a fan of TV or of Fallon you might prepare a question or two to ask him, he took a number of questions from the audience. The funniest one was 'are you going to use that entire bit you just did' because Jimmy and Drew Brees spitting pumpkin seeds went on far, far, FAR too long, about 3? minutes, which was about 2:45 longer than it needed to be. Jimmy was quick with the 'no, that's going to be edited down.'

We take a yearly trip to NYC, so he always signs up. This year, we scored and got tickets. We actually signed up for two days and got into both. Mon had the better guest lists (at least in our opinion) so we gave up the other tix. It's a process to get in, so nothing too surprising. The earlier you get there, the more of a chance you will sit closer. All in all, we were out by around 6:30pm. Tho they did add a game that was going to air on a another day with I believe the One Piece cast? A good experience if you are into talk shows. It's free, and we got a jar of carbone sauce due to mario carbone being a guest. What's there to complain about? REVIEW #4000

Having experienced the hilarity of the Maury Show more than a decade ago, I feel this update is…read morenecessary given that the place looks so much nicer and the people running it are killing it. It simply wasn't the same animal from a venue standpoint but things are definitely looking up as they've revamped the experience for all potential visitors and regulars. Back when it was simply the Rich Forum, it was like a lot of tv studios I've seen in my time: dated, worn down, and somewhat of a facade from the outside world. Fast forward a quick 10+ years, they've updated the whole joint and made it comfortable with padded chairs, partitioned guest areas, a true lobby, and even updated the bathrooms. Then of course, there is the Maury Show itself. They have done an outstanding job catering to the studio audience by keeping things light hearted and entertaining. For private groups greater than 20, they'll even send a bus to pick everyone up. In our case, we were able to enjoy some pizza from Fairfield Pizza (https://www.yelp.com/biz/GsK0e9ynHbf1TnASKUPhsA), soda / water, and our own sectioned off space. If they have extra time, they'll even throw in a tour of the sets, which is definitely amazing. And the other kicker? The shows are complimentary and for many folks, this is a bucket list item that lends itself to one hell of an experience. I've never really looked forward to a trip to Stamford, but coming here is always a real treat.

"You're everything I hoped for You're everything I need"…read more(Billy Preston) Let's be honest, if you are going to see a taping of the Maury Povich show, what do you hope to see? Well, I definitely saw everything I hoped for! Think cheating spouses, lie detector test results, paternity disputes, STD bombshells, audiences whooping and hollering and whipped into a frenzy -- it was like a gift that kept on giving. When you enter the building, be prepared to go through a security gate and a metal detector -take every single thing out of your pockets. You'll sit in a big waiting room that reminded me of an airport gate, except instead of CNN playing on screens, we saw wild highlights of antics from prior shows, and we had a host who had a lot in common with a nightclub DJ inciting the screaming crowd to near riot conditions. You also need to know to use the bathroom because once you enter the studio - you can't leave -its like Hotel California. The pre-game festivities included audience members coming up onstage to dance before the cheering crowd, and a T shirt toss. A producer helped us practice the obligatory crowd noises -lusty booing, sympathetic "awwwwwws" and supportive cheering. It was so much fun. Finally, Maury came walking onto the stage, to wrap up his 21st year of the weirdest show on earth. Think about that- 21 years of these shenanigans! We saw three tapings of sad tales of marital infidelity, extra-curricular impregnations, outrageous lies, lie detector failures, STD revelations, and a whole slew of outrageous confessions and reveals. Ralph, the lie detector technician, was dressed in a suit and tie and sat in the third row center, and at the appropriate time delivered the lie detector results as though he was a Supreme Court judge. It was tremendous theater ! So I will look you straight in the eye and tell you I had a totally entertaining time watching this human train-wreck take place. #maury21

I grew up a few blocks from this event and had no idea this place existed. It was a little difficult to locate but once we did, it was excellent. We were welcomed inside the studio with a table food of libations and finger foods. A plethora of props and ample space to take some photos. I waited till the end to get some photos, which I regret, but nonetheless, I still had an awesome time. Some folks enjoyed the lights camera action more than others, but everyone was engaged and seemingly had a blast with the camera guys, who were extremely welcoming and helpful.

As far as photo backdrops there a rose wall, a wall full of tv's, blue wall. For props I opted for a crown, a 90s cell phone, red lips phone and this huge book featuring Rihanna. This was a great event to catch up and meet other Brooklyn elite. The photos came out great. Highly recommend using them.

Back when the show first aired, the cast were absolute comic geniuses and the writing was really really hilarious! From the opening monologue to the last bow, each show was beyond hilarious! Yelper Fried Barrett O., aptly describes the first episode. As always, great job, Barrett! Favorite and beloved characters of mine included John Belushi's Samurai, the Coneheads (Dan Aykroyd, jane Curtin and Lorraine Newman) - remember "We are from France!"- Gilda Radner's Roseanna Roseannadanna. I loved Chris Farley's character, Matt Foley, who 'lived in a van down by the river!" Talk about a physical comedic genius! Spin-off shows/movies like "The Blues Brothers," and "Wayne's World" were always entertaining and funny! Steve Martin hosted so many times (15, I think) that it felt like he was part of the regular cast! Martin's banjo playing and King Tut stand out as highlights of his excellent performances! Mr. Bill was another favorite SNL character! I can still hear his "OH NO!" The whole SNL production had the look and feel of rogues taking over the studio for a live performance and it always felt like we were part of the "cool kids" who were invited to the takeover! The early, first "Not Ready for Prime Time Players" felt like cool Aunts and Uncles and were so beloved! It was devastating when Gilda Radner, John Belushi, and Chris Farley died!!!! Five easy stars for the earliest years of SNL, and two stars for today. I quit watching it years ago and yes, the ratings have tanked compared to the earliest years. I think SNL is currently on season 51. I wish them well! For me, I'll always cherish the memories, characters, and general FUN from the early days! Thanks, SNL!

Book him. You will not regret it…read more Where to start? I can't say enough good things about Gabriel's professionalism, talent, reasonability, personality, etc. My daughter & I were visiting family in NJ from the Gulf Coast. She's been obsessed with NYC for years and wanted to take her senior photos there. I scoured Yelp & Google reviews, sites, interacted with maybe 10 or so photographers. I'm so thankful we chose Gabriel. His prices are beyond reasonable, he has a unique talent of getting people to relax so that he can capture the perfect image for whatever purpose, he is prompt, communicative and makes the subject feel like they are all that matters. We had the joy of taking photos at the Met and in Times Square. Gabriel was patient with us and the end results are amazing. He returns first-looks and the final photos within 2-3 days -- unheard of with other professional photographers. He polishes the final photos, but doesn't go too far. He leaves the natural beauty to shine through. 5-stars all around!

Although I wanted outdoor photos, because it was windy, Gabriel got in as many outdoor shots as he could and then suggested we move indoors so I could really get the results I was looking for. After moving indoors, he made sure I had a full session with enough options to really make the session worth it for me. He's someone who truly cares about your experience. He was personable, accommodating, and genuinely a great person to hang out with for a couple hours. Because of his background in acting and his experience helping actors with their tapes, he knows how to help you relax and feel comfortable in your own skin in front of the camera. I need some new photos for another project I'm working on, and you bet I'm going back to Gabe for those!
