If we’ve learned anything from the Daily Show being in Washington, it’s that we need a lot more practice with the whole television taping process. Yesterday, yours truly showed up for the taping about a hour too early, spending the next 240 minutes either enjoying the Harman Center pavement’s non-existent ergonomic qualities, standing in a line waiting to be let into a studio or sitting in a seat as a very odd mix of Rihanna, Aerosmith and the Hold Steady blared over theater speakers. In short: television production involves a lot of waiting around — more so when the President is involved. DCist has several contributors who are already on the Harman scene this morning. DCist’s operatives note that a line has already started to form and the red velvet queuing line has already started to go up. (If if total dryness thanks to the building’s overhang is something you wish to obtain, best get down there quickly.) According to our sources, security “will apparently be a bear.” Can’t get there until later? Based on my experience yesterday, there weren’t too many people turned away — of course, President Obama is a little bit bigger of a draw than Senator Ted Kaufman, no disrespect intended to the gentleman from Delaware.
