I snagged free tickets for myself and my friend for the Bill Maher taping. I was so excited! It was really all word of mouth. I filled out a form online and a week later someone called me saying they still had room and tickets. So we showed up, went through security just using my name as the magic word, and got in! Low and behold they take your phones before you go in. Cue devastation. But I just ended up chatting with my friend and taking it all in, trying to ignore my empty pocket and hand. You have to think so much more and harder without your phone! Anyway, we were picked to get the best seats in the house and be the most excited fans to scream and clap and laugh for Bill. So middle center was ours!! After a brief wait and some pumping up from the head senior writer, who was a pure riot btw, we watched a quick montage of what the show was about and past clips and testimonials of how real he is. Then finally the show started! Special guest was Martin Short who is an amazing 69-year-old comedic gem. Loved him! Bill was hilarious as usual and the guests were thought provoking and provocative. Episode 299 I believe? Go watch it and look for me screaming! read more

I saw a taping of Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday and ended up getting in an altercation with security when they wouldn't let me use the bathroom. What a nice 180 it was when I came to the Late Late Show with James Corden and was greeted with smiles and good attitudes from all the CBS security and employees. I was joking with the staff on the way in and they were joking right back. The show was fun, and nobody tried to block me from using the bathroom upon exiting the show. What a concept! read more

We were given tickets to the James Cordon show and were so excited to attend. Unfortunately, they had overbooked and filled the audience. We were unable to attend the show. But, the workers were sincere and kind. read more

Came here for the season finale of Dancing with the Stars. We arrived around 4PM, the line was pretty line. After check-in & going through security, we were seated by 5:30PM. The show started at 6PM, it was live taping so it went by SUPER quick. I have to say, the staff at DWTS were super sweet & helpful, once you're inside the studio they pretty much let you dance on dance floor & walk around. There's a DJ playing jams. The show ended around 8PM, since this was the season finale they were quick in letting everyone out. Here are some of my recommendations if you're planning on attending a taping... Eat before arriving & bring a water bottle. You will be waiting & standing for at least an hour. Bathrooms are available. They have a snack cart that passes by while you wait outside but you MUST bring CASH. Ladies, make sure you wear comfy yet fashionable shoes. That walk from the parking lot to the studio is not that close, plus you'll be standing A LOT. Parking is located at the Grove's parking structure and you walk over to the studio (about a 5-10 minute walk) Definitely a memorable experience. xo Naomi read more

Not a bad place to see a show - and there is a plethora of shows that tape here. Parking is really not easy - try going behind Fairfax towards LaCienega into the residential neighborhoods but READ the signs regarding permit parking. It's a bit of a challenge. Security is generally ok but sometimes they get super strict - one show I went to see no one was allowed to take in paper or writing utensils. What? Who doesn't have a little notebook or a few pens in their bag? But still not a bad place to work or see a show - and if you're interested in watching Bill Maher or Let's Make a Deal, you can sometimes get tickets just by showing up at the gates where ticket-holders line up. read more

If you are planning a trip down to the Price Is Right here is a few heads up. The ticket voucher say to be there by 8:30 but be there by 7:30 or stay home. We one time got there at 8:00 and told they already were full and had to go home!!! Plan a whole day!! Yes ALL day. The processing of 300 people of paperwork, pictures and interviews takes up to two to three hours before you go into the studio. But before going into the studio you can buy lunch from the CBS cafe vendors who actually sell a pretty decent lunch menu. Pizza, hamburger, quesadilla and an assortment of snacks and drinks but FYI drinks are $4 that's pretty steep. The pizza, burgers and quesadilla are $10-12 and come with chips. At the point of waiting right before going in the studio and where you get fed, you have to check your cell phones. Once in this area you can eat and wait for another 1-2 hours and then into the studio for seating. The seating is not row by row it is staged. You go in and you are seated in all different areas. This is because they place the contestants where they want them. Once everyone is seated George Gray comes out gives a little run down on how we need to stay seated when he's announcing the "Come on down" so the camera can find them. Drew Carey is very engaging during the commercial breaks by talking to the audience and joking around. Probably we are in the studio 1 1/2 hours. All in all it is about a 8 hour stint from getting in line to leaving the studio. So come on down!!! read more

CBS Broadcasting - Come on down!! - Television Stations Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We were here with our group of 26 people to get on the Price is Right! They film twice a day 3-4 times a week, so they've got their process down! It is a bit of wait (4-5 hours) to register, take photos, interview and file in for the shooting - I mean, they are trying to herd 300+ people through this process so no wonder it takes awhile. They do serve lunch (average $10): burgers, pizza, drinks, snacks, etc. But once you get in, the studio is as colorful and lively as you see on TV! Drew Carey rocks and the film crew is so fun and make the process go quickly! We had such a BLAST! The Grove is right next door in easy walking distance so you can park and eat before/after as you like. read more

I saw the Dancing with the Stars Season 22 premier and it was definitely a great experience. I was on the waiting list for this season since October of last year. The people in front of me said they had been on the waiting list for a year. I got a notification 4 days before the taping that I could go, which seems to be the case for most people. I got lucky because my work gave me the day off but you might not be so lucky. It is an ALL DAY thing, you really have to clear your schedule for it. You have to dress formal, get their at LEAST 2.5 hours before the time on your ticket, wait in line for about 2 hours on top of that and sit & stand during the show which is from 5p-7p. I was told to be there by 3p and I got there at 2p. That being said, I was one of the last people to be let in. They had to turn away about 30 people that were behind me because they got in line too late. So be there as early as you can. Since I was last in line I was a filler, which meant I got sit in the floor seats (2nd row) where normally friends of celebrities and celebrities sit. Unfortunately, the person showed up half way through the show and I was asked to move to the balcony. I was disappointed but still excited that I was able to see the cast literally 5 feet away from me. It was a lot of standing so I do recommend that girls wear fancy flats or pack a pair in your purse, TRUST ME you will thank me later. They have chairs outside that you can rent while you wait and parking in the parking garage is $20 for the whole day. I figured since the tickets were free it was okay to pay. I hope I get called back for next season! read more

CBS Broadcasting - With friends I met in line - Television Stations Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Disappointing .... Trying to work on my Bucket List waited in line had priority tickets for the Late Late Show.. We were a party of 3. Our third person was stuck in Traffic because there was a big accident with Fire truck ambulance police 1/2 a block away.. traffic was horrible. The girl said for us to wait on the side up front. When our third person arrive instead of letting us in ... she said to get to the back of the line. What horrible customer service. She could have said get to the back of the line early on so I ended up waiting and almost 2 hours in line and they ran out of space about 10 people in front of us. What a joke read more

I came here for the Late Late Show with James Corden and it was one of my greatest experiences! The staff and security are super nice and helpful! Once inside, there is a shaded spot where you can sit while waiting to get inside the studio!!! There are also refreshments and gift shop for your convenience!!! Anyway, I would definitely come back if I have tickets next time!!! read more

Second time here for the taping of "dancing with the stars" So fun. The studio itself is very nice and clean, cool to see the behind the scenes areas hidden from tv cameras. The staff is on it man, they are like finely tuned robots that check you in, take your phone, hand you a claim ticket, show you to your seat, show you a great time, usher you out, help you get your phone and sweetly push you out . SO FUN! Can't wait to return read more

I was super-excited that the parking for CBS in the structure at The Grove was very inexpensive, it averaged about $2 an hour.

My adventure in life is better because of thus day. American Ifol was the full experience. JLo, Harry, Keith, and the other guy. Ok ok Tysn was there too. Just a heads up you spend a lot of time waiting and are reminded how young you are not. Basically if you are a teen you will have the most amazing time. After several hours in the hot sun and various attempts for CBS to sell you $5 bottles of water we entered the elusive cold air cooled studio. The stage was amazing and the seating was great, although it was temporary. We got in as seat fillers (yes LA is full of youth and hotness, I guess I'm falling short in this area). Unfortunately about 20 minutes into the taping our seat holders showed up. Who shows up 20 minutes late for a live taping! We were moved to the upper balcony. The view from here was spectacular! The show was amazing and the talent was awesome. My only complaint is being moved so far up when we were there so early. Maybe next time I can figure out how to score the VIP tickets read more

I had to mark off a "bucket list" destination. Sad enough, The Price is Right was one of them. Even though the time frame absorbed up most of the day, the CBS Studio did a fine job of getting us in the studio in a safe and timely manor. Inside the studio was clean and comfortable. I am very happy that I went and had this memorable experience. read more
