Are you a fan of Late Show with David Letterman? Guess what, you can watch the show live for free! The entire audience of the show consists of fans who get free tickets to the show. So, your chances of getting a ticket could be high. But there is one strict requirement – you have to be a fan of the show. In order to verify that you are indeed a regular viewer and a fan, you will be asked a trivia question related to Late Show which you must answer correctly.
You can visit the show’s website and obtain tickets by:
- Filling out the Online Ticket Form
- Going to the Ed Sullivan Theater and submitting an In-Person Request
- Calling them at 11am on the day of the taping you wish to attend and getting Stand-By Tickets.
Sometimes members of the show’s crew can be seen walking around in Times Square wearing the Late Show t-shirts and going up to random tourists in Times Square and inviting them to watch that day’s show. If you happen to spot one of them, you can always try stalking them and requesting tickets and you might just get them, provided you answer the trivia question correctly.
The questions are not really something to be worried about as they are supposed to be simple and something that any frequent viewer of the show can answer. Like, what is the show’s stage manager’s name? Answer: Biff Henderson.
If you are lucky enough to score tickets to the show, you will have to be there at 3.30pm as the show is taped at 5.00pm. Note that there are no cameras, phones or large bags allowed in the theater. And, if you fail to provide an ID or are under 18 years of age you will be turned away. There are two shows taped on Monday and one show on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Besides Late Show with David Letterman there are several other popular talk shows hosted in NYC like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Tyra Banks Show, The View, Live with Regis and Kelly, The Rachel Show, The Nate Berkus Show, The Today Show, Good Morning America, and so on. Most, if not all, of these shows offer free tickets and they all have individual processes of giving tickets, but a little bit of online research will help you a great deal.
