They then took those words back and later handed out a 7 & 8 to another celeb. Jordan's performance was definitely more deserving than a mere 5. This is why I stopped watching this show a long time ago. The judge's inconsistency is ridiculous and makes the show a joke. As if Jordan's dance skills are parallel to that of a basketball player. Like I said - show's a joke.

5.6.26 I was both…read moresurprised and thrilled to score tickets through 1iota for a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The guests that night were Steve Carell and Mike Tyson--such a fun lineup. After securing tickets, we received detailed instructions via the 1iota website. We were told to check in two hours prior to the taping, along with guidelines on attire, bag size restrictions, and the strict no-recording policy. They also made it clear that once filming begins, there are no bathroom breaks. If you tend to get cold (like I do), definitely bring a jacket. Attending the taping was a really fun experience. The stage was much smaller than we expected, and we were surprised to learn that the desk and chairs are actually rolled out each night. Overall, it was a memorable highlight of our LA trip, and I'd absolutely recommend it.

I LOVE JIMMY and his team!!…read more Show was spectacular!! The way they organize the line up and pre-check was flawless!!! They kept you informed EVERY step of the way! One possible improvement could be done - the security check. It is almost like TSA BUT you have to go backwards to gather your belongings.

This is one of my to do weekly shows I enjoy. I did have a concern today…read morewatching their "Mother's Day" week shows.

One woman may be fine continuing them well into the second trimester when another woman may need to stop sooner in the first trimester.Jul 14, 2020" Should the Price Is Right "Alert" pregnant women before the Show Not To Jump in excitement. Something to think about and what kind of Baby will be born later? This does not matter to me but I think the Jumping should be addressed by the Price Is Right.

Then if there are 3 or 4 black contestants it is fair and random.

I truly watch seeing, hearing, and knowing the Bill Maher HBO show as a true benefit and resource…read more Bill always states and shows a variety things that are neat and sweet to understand and enjoy!!! When Bill speaks first at his show, he very gives insight, comedy, and rational sections to us think and know what are cool and sweet!! Then when he as an individual, Bill asks and all that person states to him!! So it is incisive knowing a rational basis to hear and understand both him and that person!! Also, with Bill having three individuals on that show with him, he asks and they respond to all of know what and how are being brought in a comment for all!! Some time it is laughing yell and scream by all three of them and him. However, it comes very funny and providing to all a irrational person they are speaking as a grump!! Bottomline: Bill Maher is really nice to see him every Friday. One time I went to an event of him, and he states and asks us regarding the different elements!! He very much gave us the variety of comments in complimentary ways!! Again, as a retired teacher and administrator, I grade Bill Maher with a "A++"!!

Known as the Media Capital of the World, Burbank is where all the studios are located, Disney, Warner Bros, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, NBC, ABC, etc. It's no surprise if you bump into movie personalities in the mall, movies, bank and other business establishments. My neighbors are pretty much in the entertainment industry. You would think considering my location and business connections, you would think I'd been to all the tapings available. On the contrary, I don't. Yes, I've been to Jay Leno once as a VIP guest so I didn't have to line up and I even had a souvenir photo with him. But that was it. Until I got an invite to see Big Bang Theory on 8/21/18. Although my ticket stated to show up at 5pm, I was actually in line at 3:30 although show starts at 6:30. I didn't want to miss my spot because I had a guest who lives out of town. Too late for me to find out that I actually had priority tickets which is basically a guaranteed spot. Oh well! My guest and I had seats 5 and 6 so which were in the second row just behind the staff guests. Our seats were right in front of the famous staircase, on its left is Penny's apartment and in the right is Sheldon's. We were so near that we see the stars up close. On the day of our visit, the entire cast was there along with Kathy Bates and Tyler. It's a pretty cool experience and I'm glad to have attended especially when they announced the next day that BBT is finally ending. The taping we saw is actually going to be the first episode for their final season.

I love the Big Bang Theory; I think it's the greatest show on earth!!…read more However the process though of getting a ticket to the Big Bang Theory is the biggest pain; it's not worth it unless you really really like the show. Tickets are obtained at Audiences Unlimited which does most sitcoms in Hollywood. Their site is easy and quick until you want to get tickets for this show which usually come out Mondays. The problem is that their website sucks on this day. It constantly times out and has web errors assuming from so many people overloading it with requests for this show. It reminds me of trying to call a radio station when they are doing a giveaway or a casting director at Central Casting when they've put a job on their recorded line. You would think Audiences Unlimited would invest in more bandwidth but I assume since it's the only show that does this they don't see the need. So if you want a ticket to this show you really have to be very patient and have nothing to do for a few hours Monday morning. I've been lucky enough to get through twice and both times I've literally spent 2 hours trying to get tickets and these weren't even real tickets but standby tickets. I've never ever seen a regular ticket, I don't know if they even exist. Also you can only request 1 ticket at a time. They say this has something to do with the studio so if you want to go with your friend it's best that both of you do it separately. It's possible to request 1 ticket then go back to do another but you also run the risk of space being gone by the time you are finally able to get through again If you are lucky enough to have snagged a standby ticket pat yourself on the back. It doesn't end here though because there is still a very likely chance you won't get in. It really just depends on how many family and friends VIP tickets they have given out who don't show up. That is what the standby audience is for. The first time I went with a standby ticket I didn't get in and I got there early. The next time I got there really, really early and I was still like the 10th person in line. Though this is all annoying to do this for a ticket you can see really it reflected in the audiences that shows up. The audience at the Big Bang Theory are true, true, loyal, loving fans who are willing to come early and wait a whole day to see the show just like the old days where people would camp out somewhere to get tickets to a rock concert. Most of them are wearing Big Bang Theory shirts, hats, sweatshirts, etc and it's like a little community when you are waiting, kind of like the parking lot at a Grateful Dead concert without all the tie dye and drugs. I'm naturally a little shy in big groups of people but I felt very comfortable and outgoing here. It was easy to mingle with people I guess since everyone shared a common interest. I met 2 girls that said they went every week, I met some foreign tourists that just adored the show and were giddy that they got to go to a 'real Hollywood TV taping', I met a pilot from back East who was attending the taping during a layover between flights. For the taping I would prepare to make it a day production. Bring a book, magazines, snacks,-lots of them, a lawn chair or somewhere to sit comfortably because bench space is limited, bring cards or other games to play with the new friends you'll make. Bring sunscreen, a hat, better yet a small umbrella because part of the parking lot (yes, you are actually in a parking lot waiting) doesn't have shade. It's actually pretty fun as long as you treat it as a day- long event and come prepared. As for the show I was lucky enough to get a seat in the front row which made the experience so much better, I think it would be different if I was in the back rows because you can't see as much. You can tell that this cast and crew of this show were very special. At the end of the taping Kaley and Kunal gave out autographs. They thanked everyone and said that they were happy to be there and were happy to be able to be working in something that they loved. I wish Jim Parsons would have come out but he probably would have gotten mobbed due to Sheldon's popularity. I love this show and felt it was a great experience; I would definitely go again however the whole process would have been the biggest pain in the ass had I not absolutely adored the show.

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!

You don't have to be sitting in a cold LA studio to watch a couple of tapings....you can do it in…read morethe comfort of your own home. In Australia, Dr Phil is on at noon and can be a bit of light entertainment for lunch...and sometimes not. After months of working from home and sharing my lunchtime with Dr Phil, I took up the offer of being part of a "virtual audience". It was a bit like a Zoom meeting in looks (see my photo). If you are on the West coast of North America (USA & Canada) you are watching from the morning to the afternoon. I am 19 hours ahead so it meant a 2.45am start. After you show an interest in attending you are given a date where you can log in and a technician will check that your system works with their system. Then in the following week you are expected to log in early on the day of the taping...in my case really early, and then I was told things wouldn't happen for 90-100minutes. There is a lot of waiting...to be expected. There is a little bit of entertainment while you wait but these are basically ads. A half hour break (11:30-noon) marks a lunch break. There is a warm up guy but I couldn't catch his name. He said his job was basically the same as if we were sitting in the room in front of him. This was also an opportunity to check people's systems. It was not quite clear what was expected of us as an audience from the beginning. An applause sign would pop up onscreen and we had to be told to put our hands in front of our cameras so it could be seen that we were clapping. I could hear dogs barking and people talking during the taping through my earphones from other audience members so I was a bit mindful of too much noise plus everyone was asleep in my neck of the woods. Occasionally there was an information message to remind us about our earphones etc. I did see a communications button appear a couple of times but I couldn't hear what the technicians were talking about. Dr Phil did two shows and would probably have been onscreen for 90 mins for each. I did wonder whether we were really watching something live and if we were the ones providing an audience to previous tapings. There was no interaction between Dr Phil and the audience that indicated it was live. I found it interesting to see a little behind the scenes of a fully edited show. I probably wouldn't do it again as I got up at 2:30am and it didn't finish until 8:30am. The parts that would be edited out of today's shows wouldn't be critical to the stories and the ads I watched were played twice, so I don't need to see those bits again. I will go back to watching the slick edited productions at a more civilised time with my sandwich AND it gives me the option of turning off the telly is the story is just plain silly. Dr Phil has the patience of Job with some of his guests.

In a moment of serendipity, a taping was about to begin at the same time we were there for a studio tour. I'm not sure how or why there was misinformation given to us, but we had to wait on standby to be considered for a spot and they allowed us to reschedule our tour. We waited patiently as all other guests arrived and were checked in to see if we made the cut. At the very end, we were informed that we made it in! All of the other attendees were rooting for us, which was intense but helped to pass the time. The experience was lengthy and involved a lot of waiting around, but it was a unique and fun behind the scenes look at a show we love. The experience being free of cost to attend makes it a great value, and everyone was friendly during our time there. The only thing that could have made it better was to have some snacks, as I did get a little famished during the 5 hour window because I had not planned to stay that long.
