daily show, july 20

Went to see a taping of the daily show on Wednesday July 20. Got there around 4pm, the studio doors opened at about 5:30pm. However they had recently moved to a new studio, and the new studio only had a staging area for the first 50 or so people. So a bunch of us had to stand in line until the taping was about to begin for another 45 minutes or so.

Once we finally got in to the studio it was awesome. Everyone is packed very closely in. Jon Stewart took like 5-10 minutes to talk to the studio audience before the show taping. Once the taping began it went very quickly, no retakes were needed. Main topic for that show was the choice of John Roberts for the Supreme Court Vacancy. Guest for that show was Robert Kennedy Jr.

Was a fun experience. It might be easier to go around 4:45ish and wait in the stand-by line, about 6 or 7 of them got in. I'll probably do that sometime in the future.
