I got tickets for the Ellen Degeneres show! I went with a friend, M. She had never watched a whole episode or been to a talk show taping. Ellen is the best host. I think this was the best first time experience for attending a talk show taping. A was supposed to go with us but he couldn't play hooky, so he missed out.
We arrived at the studios about 9am and were the first ones in the standby line. Within the hour, a representative came out and checked us in and gave us a numbered ticket. We were sent off to go get food or coffee and told to come back. We found the most hipster coffee shop in Burbank. When we came back, they had us wait on the benches and played that day's episode on screens. This waiting experience was better than Jimmy Kimmel. We spent quite a bit of time there, but it never felt like it was dragging along. We got into the audience for the taping of Monday's show, and got a bonus guest from Tuesday's show (Matthew McConaughey).
The Ellen Show is a delightful time. I would go again. We got Mexican food at this restaurant close by and M commented the horchata was as pure as Heisenberg's meth.
applaudingly afoot,
jt
