 Go to a FREE TV-screening!
A fun thing is to try to get free tickets to any TV recording when you are in New York. It is not so easy for all the talk shows get countless requests each day... but still worth a try. 2005, we tried to get tickets to the David Letterman show on the spot, but it was a bit complicated and we did not have enough time. But next time maybe... |

 The Late Show with David Letterman
One of the most well-known talk shows recorded in New York is probably the one with David Letterman (The Late Show). For 14 years (2007) David Letterman has been the host for The Late Show but it goes further back than that. Already in 1982 he started with "Late Night with David Letterman" that lasted for about 11 years. So David Letterman is considered the best-known host since Johnny Carson that in 30 years hosted "The Tonight Show".
It happens quite a lot in each programme, both inside the "The Ed Sullivan Theater" where the show is recorded and also outside on the streets. A place that has become very well known through the TV show is Rupert Jees "Hello Deli" just behind the corner of the theatre (213 W 53rd St)...... it is also where David Letterman often run out of a door and say hi to all the people who is gathered outside during the recordings.
The show is broadcast by CBS from The Ed Sullivan Theater
1697-1699 Broadway, between West 53rd and West 54th Streets
