It’s currently 24 hours to the taping of tomorrow’s show. Anyone think I still have a chance of getting off the waitlist? Put myself in like 3 weeks ago.

I put in for the Waitlist for a show around 3 weeks ago. It’s currently around 24 hours before the event. Do you guys think I still have a possibility of getting tickets?

So I got tickets from the 1iota page and on the page I didn’t see any celebrity guest listed so I was wondering is it still a possibility that a celebrity guest would be coming on the show or would it mean that there wouldn’t be?

Trying to get my wife and I tickets to a show as a Christmas present - I've registered with 1iota and selected a date to join, but I don't see anything about mow many dates I can join a wait-list for. I'd like to optimize my chances by joining the wait-list for multiple days, but I don't want to go overboard and reduce my chances by spamming or running afoul of any rules.

I don't see anything in their FAQ about how many wait lists joined is too many. Any advice?

Has anyone had experience with being on the waitlist for late night with Seth Meyers? We are on the waitlist for Monday show and haven’t heard back yet. Curious if we’ll get an email or if we should show up at the studio at 2 PM and that is when we find out if we get tickets. Super confused with the details on Their site and haven’t been able to ascertain what we should do! Thanks for any insights

I don't know if it's market-dependent, but Mon-Wed of this week were labeled as repeats. Wednesday's is now labeled as new, but too late to record. Monday and Tuesday as of this post, are still labeled as repeats.

I have another DVR (not a TiVo) that recorded Monday's and Wednesday's episodes, but not Tuesday's. (Not sure why.)

I don't know what's going on. I incorrectly assumed he was going on an early break this month.

Hi! Does anyone have any connections to help me get tickets for his show on 12/12?

The Late Show has lost about 1/3 of its viewers, but it hasn't been a steady decline over time; viewership was very stable until June 2023, when there was a sudden drop. It doesn't seem to be related to summer; the previous year, viewership remained constant. (I assume the troughs are reruns.)

Why would the Late Show have lost 1/3 of its viewers almost overnight? What happened in June 2023 that hadn't happened in previous years?

I have ticket to the live taping on 12/5 - the ticket says taping is 5-7:30pm but I’ve seen most shows end around 7pm. Can anyone who went recently confirm their show end time?

We have tickets to Cabaret at 7:30, which is right around the corner but we’d be cutting it close.

TIA!!
