In Short – Tickets are often still available for tapings. You can register at the "Late Show"'s official website or report to the box office at 1697 Broadway Monday through Friday between 9:30am and 12:30pm or Saturday and Sunday between 10am and 6pm. Online ticket-holders have to answer a trivial question in order to receive tickets. Tickets from the box office are awarded on a lottery basis. Stand-by tickets are sometimes available; those interested can call (212) 247-6497 starting at 11am each day of taping.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Visit the show's official website to register online for tickets.
- Know Before You Go:
- If you can't get tickets, you can always check out Dave's favorite lunch spot, the Hello Deli, which is just around the corner.

Best TV taping
by nycbella at Citysearch
Dave's show is simply the best. Even if you're not a fan, the experience of seeing the show is really fun. Paul Schaffer's orchestra is phenomenal; it's worth it just to hear them play during commercials. Studio is a bit cold- bring a jacket.
- Pros: awesome guests, runs on time, great band
- Cons: cold, tix. sorta hard
A real theater, not a TV studio
by peterbehle_citysearch at Citysearch
I've seen a bunch of TV tapings and the Late Show is the best by far -- in terms of being in the audience. The cameras are almost unobtrusive, unless you're sitting right down in front. And the taping rolls at virtual real time -- it's not as if you're sitting there for hours to tape a one-hour show. Getting tickets is tough, but it's worth the hassle.
- Pros: Historic theater
- Cons: Hard to get tickets
