Got selected to receive tickets for SNL dress rehearsal on 3/30 to see Ramy Youssef as host and…read moreTravis Scott as musical guest. I can't explain to you the excitement I felt to be selected for such a prestigious event.. I sent the email asking for tickets back in August never thinking I would get an opportunity! I'm not sure if it was an NBC page that sends the email but let me tell you they were amazing to communicate with and very personable, they totally didn't have to be given that the tickets are 100% free so I appreciated the kindness! The experience was a dream from entry into 30 rock until the end of the show.. you arrive to the Rockefeller and wait in line to enter the Peacock lounge by the time listed on your ticket. Peacock lounge was very cool! They had a photobooth you could snap pictures at (sent to you electronically) and had free drinks (alcoholic or various sodas) and they even gave us cookies as we exited (sweet treat) to head to the show. Moving on to the main event.. what can I say about the show? As a Muslim attendee seeing the show during the month of Ramadan, having a Muslim host was unreal to see! They catered skits so smoothly to be appropriate for the host and his audience, I was honestly pleasantly surprised to see such inclusivity at SNL, made me love it even more which I didn't think was possible! It was a joy to see the behind the scenes switches from stage to stage and the cast messing around with each other in between skits. I really felt that every skit was a hit and we saw some extras that didn't make the show which was a plus. I was in awe of the weekend update as I grew up watching Seth Meyers execute it so perfectly, but Colin and Michael really made it their own, I couldn't stop laughing! Overall a life changing experience, I would recommend every SNL fan try to get lottery tickets, heck I would even wait in a long line for a chance to experience it again Tip: They sell unique t shirts in the store with the host and musical guest on it that you can buy after the show, would totally recommend getting one to have a cool souvenir to commemorate the show with!

Saturday Night Live (or "SNL" for short) used to be funny and was the "must watch" show of the week…read moregrowing up. Not so much anymore. 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!

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.

This event was held a photo studio so they had endless props we could work with. Before we could begin we took a group photo with a mix of people from group 1 and 2. While other were taking their photos we had wine, culture pop, chicken tenders and these delicious biscuits. The owner provided the food from Wings n Things (I think that's the name). 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.

The CBS network executives had decided to end the run citing unspecified financial reasons. Late Night Talk show host, Stephen Colbert was preceded by David Letterman, whom I had the opportunity to see in-person, whilst he hosted the Late Night Show with his dry sarcastic style Midwestern sense of humor. Mr Letterman hosted the talk show for 22 years. If you can, try to get tickets to visit the iconic Ed Sullivan Theatre before it closes.

It was an unusually warm day for this time of year, and The Daily Show's exterior wait line had fans installed to cool people off. Additionally, we were let into the air conditioned interior waiting area a little earlier to allow us to cool off even further. Directions were clearly articulated and repeated so we knew what to do prior to the start of the taping. Waiting outside, waiting inside, and getting seated all went smoothly. Ronnie Chieng was the host and the guest was Zoe Lister-Jones. There was a prerecorded sketch and a live green screen sketch. Ronnie Chieng even spent a few minutes answering questions after the show. He is a lot nicer than his rough comic persona represents. An excellent free experience. Always fun to get a peak behind the curtain.

It was my first time being on a tv show & I gotta say I had a blast ! They both were wonderful, I am a fan of Kelly . So I was so happy. I had a good seat but they always went to talk the other side & never came to my side . Mark doesn't talk to the audience much ! I was very sad about it . Hopefully if I ever get another chance I will get to meet her . Btw, she does engage with the audience. I loved that about her . Waiting outside on the cold was kinda worth it . But will I travel hours & stand outside for hours in the cold again ? Not so sure ! Btw, on her show they actually let you use your phone

Live With Kelly and Mark recently moved to Hudson Square and it is a nice are and not as crazy and crowded as upper west side. In order to check in, your entire party needs to be there. There is a wait before you go in... after you check in you will get a wristband with a number on it. Once you start going in, you go through security, then take the elevator down to the holding area. There is restrooms downstairs and water fountain. While you wait, you there are pictures of Kelly and Mark and some guests they have had on the show. Hint: Dress your best if you want a chance to sit close to where the guests come out. Once they call your numbers, you will go in to be seated. Inside there are two levels, lower and upper, they will tell you where to sit. So much fun to be part of the taping. While waiting, videos of Kelly and Mark show on the screen which is cool. Kelly and Mark interact and take pictures and selfies with audience members during the breaks. Gelman and staff cue the audience when to clap. Stump Mark was fun! For those who want to dance, you have to audition and the winner will get picked based on the audience... congrats and great job Emily for our taping (we voted for you!)! :) Besides Kelly & Mark, The View and Tamron Hall also films downstairs so make sure you are on the right line. We got to see the 10/2 taping with Glen Powell and Paige DeSorbo and it was Kelly's Birthday celebration! Happy Birthday Kelly!!! Big Fudgie the Whale cake to celebrate! Too bad it was too frozen for knife to cut through ... the audience couldn't get to share in after... but all good! Still had fun! Don't forget to purchase merch on the way out!! Picked up I Love Stump Mark t-shirt and a pair of the black Live With Kelly & Mark mugs!! We'll be back again! Love the show!
