Late Night Shows in NYC Tape Without Live Audiences Due To Hurricane Sandy



Due to Hurricane Sandy, late night shows like "David Lettermen" and "Jimmy Fallon" have to tape their shows without audiences. New Yorkers were told to either evacuate the area or stay indoors, so no one was going to make the trek to the studios to watch the tapings. On "David  Lettermen" guest Denzel Washington showed up in a yellow rain jackets, as if he'd actually be walking through the streets of New York  just to be there. "Only for you, Dave," he said. "I swam." Asked if he had ever been in a hurricane before, Washington cracked, "Once, with Noah." Meanwhile, Jimmy Fallon decided to open his show by filming outside 30 Rock himself. Jimmy's opening line was "I'm hoping, if you're watching, you are at home, you're safe, you're warm...But we're here,". Guest Seth Meyers, Padma Lakshmi, Robert Zemeckis and the band Imagine Dragons were all at the filming (indoors) too. Jimmy Fallon joked "Theater owners had to cancel all Broadway shows today," he said. "Many performers were having trouble making it into the city. You could tell by that one show, Blue Man Guy."
