How do you get into the Jay Leno live studio audience?

Question

I am visiting Los Angeles soon and I was wondering how be a part of the live audience for the Jay Leno show. Do you need to purchase tickets? Are tickets even required? If so, how do you get them?

Any links or information would be greatly appreciated! :)

Answer 1

You can not purchase tickets. They are free.

You need to go down to NBC studios in Burbank first thing in the morning.  You will probably have to stand in a long line.  If you are fortunate enough to get tickets for that days show, then around noon (1 p.m. at the lastest) I would suggest you go around the corner to the entrance for the show and get in line.  Just because you got tickets does not guarantee you will get in.  They deliberately hand out too many tickets.  Plan on standing in line a long time.
