On Thursday afternoon I went to a live taping for a late night talk show. It was the pilot, so it probably won't air, but it was amazing! It's from Conan O'Brien's production company and it's supposed to air after his show on TBS. It will be called The Midnight Show with Pete Holmes. Pete's a really funny comedian that I enjoy who has a great podcast - not so much a ha-ha funny podcast, but more like "conversations with various comedians about their lives and art, etc". Lots of funny stuff but sometimes it can be weird and/or serious.
Anyways, it was shot where they shoot Conan's show on the Warner Brothers lot and it was a fantastic experience. The last time I'd been to a tv show taping was with i-bJorn and the gang to watch someone's college friend on College Jeopardy. It was fucking hilarious, from the opening warm up comedian through all the skits and show parts. It totally has a crazy Conan O'Brien style to it, down to crazy Robert Smigel style puppets and skits involving a lot of the same dudes you see on CoCo's show.
We live around all those tv studios, so we're gonna try to hit up more shows. Great free date night.
