Jon Stewart is back on the The Daily Show, rotating among other regular hosts including Jordan Klepper, Desi Lydic, Ronny Chieng and guest hosts.
The best late night TV shows are taped in NYC. Here’s how to get FREE tickets.
Stewart hosts on Mondays, and as Executive Producer of the series, even on the days he is not hosting, his satirical sense is the focus, whoever is hosting.
Stewart returned to the show following the 2024 election. He had left the show in 2015 after 16 years, and his recent return has energized fans of his sharp wit, passion, and political commentary.
Scam Alert –
- Tickets to all late-night shows taped in NYC are FREE. That includes The Daily Show.
- Anybody who wants to sell you tickets to a late night TV show is scamming you, and you will be denied entry.
Some Rules First –
Dress appropriately, since you might be on TV during audience shots. That means business casual, not tank tops or t-shirts with political or sexual messages.
All shows reserve the right to deny you admission, even with a ticket, if you are dressed inappropriately or appear to be “under the influence”.
ecoXplorer Insider Tip:
- As a former TV News reporter (for WABC-TV Eyewitness News in NYC), ecoXplorer Evelyn Kanter knows that that TV studios are normally kept cold, between 55 and 65 degrees, to compensate for the hot lights.
- So this word of advice – bring a sweater or light jacket with you.
Expect airport-like security for some shows, including showing a valid photo ID with proof of age.
Phones, tablets and other recording devices are permitted, but may not used during a taping.
You will be ejected from the audience for using an electronic device for any reason during a taping. Save your selfies or texting for before or after the taping.
Perhaps most important, there is no guarantee of admission even with a ticket, so do not book airline tickets and a hotel based on attending a TV show taping.
