The Today show is filmed here and bystanders who attract attention with cute babies, big signs or some type of gimmick might just get on camera. The equivalent activity for those too cool for talk shows is the MTV studio at 1515 Broadway. Guests must be over 16 years old to attend a show and if age is questionable, be prepared to prove it.
