We got tickets to Leno with the attitude "nothing ventured, nothing gained", and if we decided at the last minute to not go, it would not be the end of the world. After a one hour walk from our hotel, which Google Maps said would be much less, we arrived at Studio 11 to stand in line for about an... More

We arrived at 2 o'clock for the 4 o'clock tapinp We were numbers 216 + 217. Our tickets stated to arrive no later than 2.:45, we arrived at 2 pm. The problem was they had Vips that kept getting priority entrance. I was seated in the audience, n my wife was escorted to the green room to watch on a... More

Being complete tourists and longtime Tonight show fans we got tickets before a recent SoCal visit. The tickets said to be there by 2:45 pm for a 4 pm taping but I had heard you needed to arrive earlier. We came at noon and were not at the front of the line (#18 & 19). From there, as noted in...

Went on the show for the May 7, 2012 taping. Made sure I was there early as they told me people started lining up at 11:00 a.m. and the ticket emailed to me clearly states that admission to the show was not guarenteed. The parking lot for the guests did not open until 12:00 noon. I was about the 16th... More

I didn't plan on reviewing this show but saw so many negative comments about the wait I just had to comment. First of all,we knew there were more tickets than seats. It was a risk we accepted because we wanted to see the show and were willing to go early enough to increase our odds (12:45, #53, rainy day). If... More

The tickets were free (got them at Universal) and the main quest was Robert Downey Jr. (terrific actor) so maybe we shouldn't complain....but this whole experience was disappointing. Jay himself is both bored and boring...and simply not funny. They make you line up and count off for hours....and then sit you wherever they feel like sitting you regardless of when... More

Loved the show; as with all shows in the area, waiting in the lines is the worst part....decided it was worth it!

I went to The Tonight Show on Thursday, April 26th and had a great time! We had to wait outside for two hours but it was worth it. We actually lucked out and got front row! Jay came out before the show and chatted with the audience. Once the show started we got to run out and shake Jay's hands.... More

We ordered tickets several weeks in advance and arrived at the studio around 2:00 for a 4:00 taping. We ate lunch at a nearby Mexican restaurant and were prepared for a very, very long wait. But, unlike other reviewers, we found the staff to be friendly. The staff was particularly concerned for people in wheelchairs or with special needs -... More
