Jay Leno

A couple weeks ago my friend Erika found out she got tickets to the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.  We have been trying to get tickets to all the shows taped out here since they are free and this was our first lucky find.  Jeff and Erika's husband, Drew came with us. (It was actually really hard to convince Jeff to go because he had to miss the Tofurkey bowl for his school where all the dental classes play football against each other.  Jeff was their quarterback last year and had helped them win.  They weren't real happen when they found out he was going with me instead...) Anyway, we get to Burbank around 2pm.  We ask the lady directing people where we needed to go to pick up our reserved tickets and she told us to go to Guest Relations.  We get there and the guy tells us he will call off people's names at 2:45, so we just hung out.  Close to 3 they finally have the list and we get to the front of the line and the guy says we aren't on the list.  He said we were supposed to be outside in the line we had passed earlier.  I was a little angry and told him he should have told us that an hour ago when we walked in! We go around to the front of the studio and the line is gone.  We get to the gate and tell this girl that we have reserved tickets somewhere and need to get them.  She also tells us that our names are not on the list and that she can't let us in without tickets.  She asked if we had a confirmation email, but Erika's printer wasn't working, so we didn't have it.  She asked if we could pull it up on our phone but Erika couldn't find the email. So we were basically out of luck.  The girl asked her supervisor what to do and the lady was in a hurry so she told her just to give us the "guaranteed tickets".  So we get put in this line of about 25 people and notice these two huge lines of people in another area.  We had no idea if they got in first or if we did. Luckily, we did and after all of that we had an awesome time.  Jay was super funny and it was a unique experience.  The guests were Jim Parsons, Meghan McCain, and Tom Morello with Ben Harper.  Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take pictures inside, but here are a few from outside:
