One of the great parts about going to school so close to New
York City is being able to take advantage of all of the incredible things that take
place here like the amazing shows that are taped at Rockefeller Center, as in the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and
Saturday Night Live. Rockefeller Center
is in Midtown and only a short walk from Grand Central, which only takes 20
minutes to get to from the Rose Hill campus.

On the day of the taping we picked them up about an hour before it started at the NBC Experience store. Then, we stood in line for about 30 minutes and were ushered up to Studio 8G where the show is taped. To get to the stage, we had to walk through the SNL hallway, and it was filled with pictures from the show. Also, on our way to the stage, we got to see Studio 8H, the stage where SNL is performed. (Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures to share because cameras and phones are prohibited in the building.)

My friend and I were seated in the front row for the taping!
It was so cool to see all of the behind the scenes people, cameras, and lights
that goes into making the show. Seth
Meyers was great and so were comedians, Sarah Silverman and John Mulaney, who
were the guests for that episode. They
were all very funny and it was amazing to see them in person.
It was a great experience to go inside such an iconic New
York City building and see everything up close that I’ve see on TV. It was also a student-friendly outing because
it was free and easy to get to from Fordham.
Just another example of the countless activates that Fordham students
can take advantage of in New York City!
