Ed Sullivan Theater

Late-night filming location

The Ed Sullivan Theater is a Broadway venue in Manhattan, home to CBS's late-night programming since 1993.

Named for the variety show host who broadcast from there for over two decades, it became synonymous with *The Late Show* under David Letterman and later Stephen Colbert.

We got tickets to see a taping at the Ed Sullivan Theater.
