All the world's a stage…
I'm here for the show.
150+ TV tapings. Behind the scenes, in the audience and on the street, with real faces, real rooms and real reactions.
Hi, I'm Kristin
Professional audience member. Accidental VIP.
I've filled seats at more than 150 TV tapings across daytime, late night, awards, morning TV and competition shows, and I've gone from the seats to on-camera on Bravo, ABC, NBC and FOX. I know how live TV really works, from the studio line to the walk-in to the moment the lights come up.
Now I bring brands where the cameras roll: into the audience, behind the scenes, and onto the streets of New York, Los Angeles and wherever major events land.
Seats I've filled include: Live with Kelly and Mark · The Sherri Shepherd Show · The View · Drew Barrymore · Kelly Clarkson · Tamron Hall · GMA · The Price Is Right · Kimmel · American Idol · AGT · the Grammys, and the list goes on.
