I've been to sitcom tapings before, but I imagine this is a little different

once it's on, it is ON. I can only compare it to sitting at home watching only w/ steroid HD. One of the writers warms up the audience; theme music is cued; Bill walks out & starts his monologue. Their are no wings like a stage so the initial interview is standing on stage waiting for his cue to join Bill. Where I was sitting the main camera blocked my sight line of Sullivan But there was a huge flat screen I could watch as well as the overhead monitors. There was a brief scramble getting ready for the internet 'after show'. I haven't watch the program at home yet so I don't know if the happy 50th birthday acknowledgement to Rob Lowe was broadcast or not.

The show is broadcast from the 'Price is Right' stage @ CBS. I really enjoyed it. I had never been to any TV show production. Hope to go again. My cousin has been about a 15 times, so I hope he calls me again when he gets tickets.

His grasp of English is pure Oxford and his sense of humor is outstanding. He's funnier than Maher is when he really gets going.

Good topics and all of the guests were intelligent. It was nice not having some irritating conservative bomb thrower on. I really hate those guests (like Coulter). They make the show unwatcheable.
