Television City

Television City is a working TV studio at 7800 Beverly Blvd, near The Grove in Los Angeles’s Miracle Mile area. Its stages have hosted game shows, talk shows and other programs, some filmed before a live audience. A ticketed taping can put you in the studio for shows such as The Price Is Right when audience sessions are available. Past programming has also included The Late Late Show with James Corden. You can take photos outside, but access to the building is not guaranteed without a visit arranged for a taping.

A working television studio

CBS Television City is at 7800 Beverly Boulevard, near The Grove in the Miracle Mile area. The complex has been used to film game shows, talk shows, soap operas and other television programs, often with a live audience. Its scale reflects how firmly television production had taken root in Los Angeles when the complex was completed.

The studio is a workplace, not a general visitor attraction. A photograph from outside is possible, but entry is not assured without an arranged audience visit. A security guard has advised visitors that they could not enter at the time of their visit.

Going to a taping

Audience sessions are the way to see the studios in use. The Price Is Right and Real Time with Bill Maher are among the programs associated with audience tickets, and past tapings have included The Late Late Show with James Corden. Check current ticket availability before you travel, since a show’s return to a live audience may be announced through the studio’s mailing list.

Allow plenty of time if you have a ticket. One account of attending The Price Is Right describes a visit lasting about five hours. Arriving early can make it easier to park and find your way through the lot. Keep an eye out for crew members moving equipment as you walk.
