Booking the tickets was a painless experience, picking them up wasn't. They say get there no later than 4.15 but I suggest you get there at 3. We did and the queue was already forming. We queued, got our tickets and were outta there before 4pm so i dread to think what happen to those turning up at 4.15. The... More

This was my third trip to New York in the last 3 years and my Third time attending a Late Night with Jimmy Fallon taping. You have to go through a lot to get there, calling up for tickets 5 weeks in advance (and because the tickets are free it can be hard to get through on the phone lines... More

I'm deducting a point for two reasons: 1) you spend a lot of time standing around and/or being herded before you actually get seated in the studio and 2) the seats are an extremely tight fit for a tall person. Otherwise it's a blast, and can't do much better for an hour-plus of free entertainment, including a funny warmup that... More

We have been twice to see a filming of Jimmy Fallon, and it is the biggest adrenaline rush seeing the show be put on, listening to what is basically a free concert by the Roots during 'commercial breaks', and one of the times I got ON the show to participate in a game and got to meet Jimmy Fallon himself!...

Had the opportunity to get free passes to the Late Night with Jimmy show. The studio is great, any seat is good in the audience. The comedian who came out to warm up the crowd was excellent. he had us cracking up. The house band is fantastic and really sets the mood. The line up of guests were entertaining and... More

My husband and I won a pair of tickets at a fund raiser; we would not otherwise have even considered getting tix to this show. However, we enjoyed ourselves tremendously and would definitely go back - we had a blast! I mean, the Roots are the house band so, honey, please! What could possibly be bad about that? Doesn't even... More

This is a great TV experience from the comfort of a theater seat in the audience. Be prepared for lots of waiting and lines. Order your tickets before you come or get standby tickets early in the morning at 30 Rockefeller Center on the day of the show. Be prepared for going through security. It is totally worth it!
