Have you been in a studio audience?

I have seen Letterman in person. What struck me was how much they tried to goose the audience reaction with flashing applause signs and a staff person who would clap wildly in case we all forgot how.

Many of them. Donahue, Ricki Lake, Letterman, Conan, Johnny Carson, Fallon, Carson Daly... I'm probably forgetting some. I went to a bunch as a teen/ in my early 20s and then I worked in the music industry for many years.

I saw The Martha Stewart Show. She was not friendly or engaging to the audience at all.

Jon Stewart too. I knew I forgot at least one.

UK (original) version of The Weakest Link. All I can remember is how tedious it was. The edited show you see on tv is nothing like the drawn out version of the actual filming.

Yes for the Kitchen show on food network. Very small audience and crazy delicious food as a perk!

I loved Phil Donahue!

This thread reminds me that cheers had to insert the line “Cheers is filmed before a live studio audience” b/c people complained that the laugh track was too loud.

It was a much different show when he was still hosting. Took me forever to get used to Drew Carey even though I really like him.

I went to see CNN's Crossfire once when it was being held at GWU, long ago when Bob Novak was still around.
