When travelers come to New York City, many visitors are drawn by the lights and glamour of TV tapings, whether it’s the sight of Robin Roberts at Good Morning America or a late night television show with David Letterman.
Getting tickets for these spectacles is no easy feat, however. Many shows have wait lists of up to six months so it’s smart to reserve your tickets far in advance. Visit the website of a favorite TV show (make sure they don’t tape in Los Angeles) to request seats and be sure to provide all the correct information or else the producers won’t contact you about the show.
Even if travelers on North American vacations don’t show up to New York with tickets, it’s still possible to see a show. Since there can’t be any empty seats in the house, a standby line will hand out tickets a few hours before the show starts. These lines get long fast, so make sure to line up early in the morning.
While many late night shows and sitcoms require tickets, a lot of morning news programs do not. Good Morning America and the Today show allow viewers to stand outside.

Planning Your Next Trip with Atlas Travel Center
At Atlas Travel Center, we’ve spent over 35 years helping travelers turn ideas like the one in this post into fully realized journeys. Whether you’re reading this as inspiration for a trip you’re already planning or as the first seed of a travel dream, our advisors are here to take it from concept to confirmation — handling every detail along the way.
What sets Atlas apart isn’t just our longevity in the business — it’s the depth of expertise we bring to every booking. Our agents are specialists, not generalists. Many have personal experience at the destinations they recommend, onboard the ships they book, and with the tour operators they partner with. When you work with an Atlas advisor, you’re getting counsel grounded in real experience, not just what’s on a website.
Why Work with a Travel Advisor in the Age of Online Booking?
Online booking tools have made it easier than ever to assemble a trip — and also easier than ever to make an expensive mistake. The lowest price on a comparison site often omits a resort fee, books a room category you wouldn’t choose if you saw the photos, or locks you into a cancellation policy that offers no flexibility. Our advisors know the inventory, the fine print, and the suppliers well enough to navigate all of it on your behalf.
More importantly, when something goes wrong — a flight cancels, a ship changes its itinerary, a resort overbooks — a travel advisor is the difference between hours on hold with an 800 number and a quick call to someone who knows exactly who to call. We’ve been solving those problems for clients since 1987, and we’re very good at it.
