DVM in NYC: Day Three. Monday morning.

Every television show that tapes in front of a live audience gives away tickets to be in the audience. Of course, many of the shows happen right in NEW YORK CITY..!!

I found this website: https://1iota.com/Tickets

This seemed like an interesting (and FREE) thing to do during the DVM trip to NYC...so I checked which shows were taping during our visit...and, surprisingly, the same day I applied, I received four FREE TICKETS...

We got out of bed early Monday morning. Our instructions said to be at the studio by 7:30 AM to reserve our seats...

We took the subway, and walked one block over to the studio...

There was already a disturbingly long line....

Once we got inside the building -- it was ANOTHER HOUR in line...ugh...

So -- WHAT SHOW ARE WE ABOUT TO SEE?? And -- WAS IT WORTH THE WAIT??

The show was LIVE with Kelly and Ryan.

And it was interesting to see how live television works.  Gelman (the producer) sits on a stool just out of the camera shot, holding up questions, or writing out notes...

Lucy Liu was a guest on our day...also, David Duchovny. They both brought their own PR person -- who held up their own cards with questions Kelly and Ryan were supposed to ask...

What struck me at the end of our Kelly and Ryan adventure is how many people it takes (ALL WORKING FULL TIME, MAKING REALLY GOOD MONEY) to put together one hour of vapid television.

Really.  I miss Oprah.
