Live! with Regis and Kelly
Best trip ever!!!!!
We just back from this morning’s taping of Live! with Regis and Kelly. It was SO COOL to be part of the audience! I was giddy with excitement and totally star-struck!

Before heading to the show, our group met for an early breakfast at one of the hotel’s restaurants.

Check out the wallpaper! Hello!

We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast buffet.


I was psyched to see a big platter of fresh fruit.

I haven’t eaten much fruit lately, so I loaded up.

I also had some Greek yogurt and granola with breakfast.

And some much-needed water and coffee. (I’m feeling a bit hungover this morning. Meh.
)


Then it was time to head to ABC for Live! with Regis and Kelly!


It was really neat to see the studio and set in person, but both were much smaller than I expected.







The stars of the show!!!!!



Regis and Kelly chatted with the audience members during the commercial breaks. They were both really friendly and outgoing.



Chocolate expert and chef Jacques Torres showed Kelly a number of his chocolate recipes, so she demonstrated a few on the show.

They looked delicious, especially the chocolate-covered strawberries, which she shared with a few audience members after the show.

Kelly also shared a bunch of Hershey’s Kisses with the audience by tossing them into the crowd.

While blogging this post, I snacked on a couple of whole wheat pretzels to help settle my stomach. Ugh.

The cake decorating competition is up next!!!

I watched this morning, hoping Kelly would mention something about your cake decorating contest, but I didn’t hear anything. Did I miss it? I am so jealous, I am really regretting not entering this contest!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
Wow!! Tina, it looks like you had a great time at the show. SO much fun!! By the way, you and Sabrina had lunch across the street from my apt. yesterday! I love, love Chelsea Market and am so happy to live right there. If only I had known you guys were in the area (I’m a huge fan of the blog). Have a great trip

Holy crap!! I wouldn’t have been able to move in my seat. What an awesome experience. Were you guys up front like that?
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 12:37 pm
I LOVE VOSS WATER. I know it’s just regular water, but its cooler because of the bottle.
I’m a sucker for packaging.
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 12:38 pm
How cool! What a fun event — so lucky. Keep enjoying!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 12:46 pm
Looks like a BLAST, Tina!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 12:49 pm
How exciting! I love looking at these pictures. Kelly is so pretty!

And it sounds like such an amazing morning! I love Regis and Kelly. Kelly seems like she would be SUCH a nice person!! And she always has the BEST shoes! Am I right?!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
Sure, that wallpaper might be a bit… difficult after a big night out, but I kinda love it anyway
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
Wow, what an amazing experience (and breakfast, of course)! I hope I get to be an audience member at a live show someday. I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far, I’m so jealous! I’d love to meet Regis and Kelly!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
How exciting!!! What an awesome trip so far!!! The breakfast buffet looked really good….I would have had to had a bagel with lox!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 1:32 pm
How fun! I love Regis and Kelly, Kelly cracks me up and that picture of her is so funny! I hope you feel better!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
ahhhhh that is so fun!!! i love all the pictures especially kelly ripa throwing the candy into the audience!! so cute!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
I watched the show this morning. It is a great show, and I am so excited for you that you were there! Yay!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Oh, wow! That’s so cool! Looks like so much fun!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Looks like so much fun! That’s a show I’ve always wanted to be in the audience for. (I have a crush on Kelly for sure.) I watched this morning – snowed in here in Baltimore, MD – and those chocolates looked so good! And fairly simple to make!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
cool! i dvr’d rosario dawson on the show and plan on watching it soon!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 2:05 pm
I used to LOVE watching Regis and Kathy Lee in the summer when I was younger. Kelly has her own personality and they both brought something different to the show.
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
LOVE Total greek yogurt, what a great breakfast

But what an even greater morning! I’m dying to see a live taping of a show, it must be such a good experience, espec seeing famous people close up
I hope your afternoon is just as fun!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
I’m more jealous you got to see Jacques Torres than anything else, to be honest.
He is the CHOCOLATE KING!!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 2:08 pm
That sounds like fun! I don’t really like Regis & Kelly, but I’ve always wanted to be in the audience at a talk show.
You’re right- that wallpaper is horrendous!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
Oh how awesomely cool!!! I’ve always wanted to see what the behind the scenes looks like on television shows!!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
I saw you on TV this morning…right at the beginning of the show! I was working from home today, luckily
Isn’t the show so much fun? I was there two years ago…it was great!
Have fun cake decorating!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 2:47 pm
LOL– that picture of Kelly throwing the kisses is hilarious! I love their show!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
Kelly is so cute (and tiny)! I’ve seen her in CP a few times. Jacques Torres chocolates are amazing! I hope you stopped by his shop on the near the studio after the taping! Can’t wait to see more pics of your trip!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
what an amazing trip! And you go such good photos!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
So jealous! Also, fresh fruit is my favorite part of breakfast buffets. I grew up in Asia, so the spreads were always full of papaya, mango, dragonfruit, starfruit, passionfruit, and all of those other things that you never think to cut up at home. All fruit is GREAT fruit, and I totally understand your excitement about that fruit tray
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Haha, so jealous of you guys!!! Love Regis & Kelly. Love Kelly’s outfit today. She looks TINY. Looks like you had a blast and kudos to you for making it through with a hangover
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 4:24 pm
So cool you got to see the show! Does Kelly Ripa look healthy in person or just really tiny/skinny? Just curious…do tell!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
Totally saw you on TV!! at the very beginning when Kelly and Regis were walking out, they somewhat zoomed in on you!! woohooo!!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 4:39 pm
I DVR/watch Regis & Kel every morning so I quickly went back and rewatched the opening and totally saw you for like..2 seconds! I couldn’t tell at first but thanks to these pictures I know it was you! SO fun!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
ooooh it all looks so good! What fun!!!!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
I am SO SO jealous!! I am in love with regis and kelly!!!! It looks like you had so much fun!!!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
That sounds like so much fun!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 5:17 pm
that is so cool! kelly is adorable.
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
So luckyyy!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
That would have been so much fun! I once went to a screening for a pilot show, but it never did take off. It was neat to see it being filmed, though!
How very lucky!

What an awesome trip! I watched Regis and Kelly this morning, but didn’t know to look for you!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 6:32 pm
You are SO lucky!!! Wow…hope you are having a blast!!!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
Wow – I didn’t think you would be able to take pictures in the studio. Very cool!
Kelly looks way too skinny though – she does not look healthy.
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
Looks like a blast!!!
on Feb 9th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
Looks like an awesome trip- who doesn’t love NYC?
*Does anyone else think Kelly Ripa is too skinny? To me her head looks too big for her body and she looks a bit underweight.
on Feb 10th, 2010 at 1:13 am
This is such a fun post! It all looks so fun. And surreal. You’re so lucky. Hope you had/are having a really good time Tina!
on Feb 10th, 2010 at 7:56 am
i love how honest you are about your hangovers!
Was kelly as toned as she looks on tv!?
on Feb 11th, 2010 at 11:21 am
On todays show 2-11-2010, Kelly demonstrated how to make cookies she makes every week with her children. I would like to have the receipe. Can anyone help?
on Feb 12th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
Is there anyone out in cyberspace who can give me the cookie recipe that Kelly demonstrated on Feb., 10. She mentioned she makes these cookies every week with her children.
Thanks
