Dave's show is simply the best. Even if you're not a fan, the experience of seeing the show is really fun. Paul Schaffer's orchestra is phenomenal; it's worth it just to hear them play during commercials. Studio is a bit cold- bring a jacket.
Pros: awesome guests, runs on time, great band
Cons: cold, tix. sorta hard

I've seen a bunch of TV tapings and the Late Show is the best by far -- in terms of being in the audience. The cameras are almost unobtrusive, unless you're sitting right down in front. And the taping rolls at virtual real time -- it's not as if you're sitting there for hours to tape a one-hour show. Getting tickets is tough, but it's worth the hassle.
Pros: Historic theater
Cons: Hard to get tickets
