NYC David Letterman
 

We are visiting NYC during Thanksgiving, my 15 year old son just expressed an interest in visiting or viewing the Letterman show. Does anyone have any information if this is possible?

In LA you have to be 18 to see most of the TV tapings, I don't know if Letterman is the same or not. If you go give him a big hug and kiss for me , I just love Dave!

Everything you need to know is included in the Letterman website.

Sally, you were right, 18 is the age requirement. I checked the website. So I guess I can't give him a hug for you! Bummer.

But you might visit some of the businesses near the studio which are regularly featured on the show and even wait outside the Hello Deli for a few minutes to see if it is a part of that day's show.<BR><BR> Keith

Lurk outside the side entrance where the celebs come in. I actually had more fun the evening I didn't get in (saw Eddie Murphy, Carol Burnett and then Dave came out and did a segment on the street) than I did the time I got tickets.

You have 3 options: send a postcard to the studio requesting tickets, put your name down on a standby list for whatever days you're available, and if they have a last minute cancellation they'll call you, or once you're in nyc, there's a number on their website you can call starting at 11 am (I think), and you can try to get tickets to that night's show that way. However I sent a postcard to the studio 2 years ago and never heard back about tickets. They don't make it easy, but if you're persistant you may have some luck.

where is the entrance the celebs come in from? around what time? I suspect xmas week will be re-runs.<BR><BR>My boys definitely want to go to the Hello Deli. <BR><BR>

You definitely should go to the Hello Deli. Rupert Gee is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. We only ended up buying coffee, but he was very gracious allowing my husband to take my picture with him.

Where is the address of the Hello Deli? I'd like to go there this weekend.
