Celebrities are the most accessible, oddly enough, when they are at work. If you're a fan of Jon Stewart and you arrive at your favorite deli while eating, is likely that you are probably going to bother. But if you get tickets for the recording of "The Daily Show," which is the host city New York, the opportunity to shake his hand and getting him to sign something that is much better.

The stars who work in live television depend on the audience to help them do their job. For comedies, the public has the laugh track. If people can not laugh at a joke, writers struggle to get modified or a new one. So when you see a TV series like "Friends", which is hearing the actual audience laughter was in the recording of that day and know that they had some input in the final version as well. For submissions in the night like Stewart, the host needs to laugh at his jokes or be left in the lurch on national television. And on talk shows like "Ellen" and "Oprah", the host and producers must be able to feel the audience so they know what works and what does not work.

Most TV shows have a live audience also have a "warming "Individual whose job is to tell some jokes, design the game, maybe do some audience participation and get everyone in the entire study prepared for the show. If there is a delay or a break in shooting, this man has to keep things so that the public never gets bored and leaves. He is also the best option to get the talent on the screen and sometimes even bring a star to the audience section.

Some stars will hang around and after talking with public one by one. Some do not, but the rate of warming talk to anyone, and if you can make them feel important, too often can help reach the people who really want arrive.

Do not ask the producer if you can go backstage – he'll say no. Do not ask an inmate if he can get something signed – he'll say no. But this type of heating is usually working so hard (and maybe even a little annoying that he is not the star of the show) sometimes can become lifelong a favor if you play your cards right.

TV video shows tickets cost nothing, except for special circumstances like concerts, awards ceremonies and events sports. Sitcom recordings and game shows are free. Often the public will be much smaller than I expected ("The Daily Show" seats that Once 100 people) while half the audience noise in a "Wheel of Fortune" recording is the crew itself.

The station TV production is generally highest from August to March for most major networks. These include: ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, UPN, WB, TNN, Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. sitcoms, reality specials and game shows are the most likely to require a live audience since dramas do not require interaction with the public.

Remember that a TV recording is not a quick overview. You are not there for half an hour you see in the product final. You have to be there early, you have to sit around while things are getting set up, you have to go through the "warm up" and then the cast will probably will be a dress rehearsal from beginning to end. Then go to film several takes for each scene for the publishers have a lot of options. This may take a long time (often up to eight hours) and it will not serve lunch or dinner in between (although, of course, actors can eat all you want from the catering table behind stage … and often come out on stage eating to rub in the fact that they are eating and can not). But it's fun. Just be sure to eat before you go, make sure using the bathroom before taking his seat, and turn off your cell phone!

Often the most fun part of recording live TV is not action itself is what happens behind the scenes. If an actor is making a joke, the actors off camera often react to what he or she is saying in an unexpected way. People were cracking up, other adlib, shots will get bad and have to be repeated. It is an interesting look at what happens behind the scenes of television, even if they fail to meet the star of the show.

To get a ticket, see the following resources. Normally to do reservations for popular shows months in advance because they fill up quickly. If all else fails, you can sometimes find studio workers ticket delivery address at Grauman's Chinese Theatre 6925 Hollywood Boulevard (where the famous handprints are) and in front of Hollywood & Highland shopping complex next door.

Once you have your ticket, the rules are simple – applaud when they tell you, laugh when you think something is funny, do not yell out at random times, not curse do not disturb others around you, remain seated until the end of the show (toilet breaks come before the show, not during), and not take photographs.

Remember, if a scene has to be done again, you'll have to laugh again. Know going in that this is not so much about your entertainment as it is your help to put together a good show. If you get bored easily by repetition or having to sit for a long period of time, attending a live TV taping probably is not for you. On the other hand, if you enjoy watching television programs are created and do not mind following the rules, you will have a lot of fun, learn a lot, and maybe even the opportunity to meet (or at least see for a long time) your favorite star!
