Tuesday, February 4th - today Romi and I got up at 5.00am because we mistakenly thought that the live taping of Good Morning America was today. When we stood in line and showed our ticket we were told that it is tomorrow. What a bummer! Going back home would have made no sense, so we strolled around the deserted Times Square, in a way you usally never see it. After an extensive breakfast at Starbucks we decided to visit the Empire State Building. Beside the great view, there is an exhibition with all movies that were shot there including a great King Kong animation and a gallery with all visits of famous people. 
After the visit we met again at the Paley Center. Today we had a short lecture about radio. We learned some interestig facts including the information that there was no commercial radio before the 20's and it was not cheap enough to make it public before the 60's. Afterwards we recorded our own radio drama with an original text of The Shadow, a radio thriller that was broadcasted from 1930-1954. Some of us made the noises with all kinds of things and devices and some were the speakers. This was a great experience!
After that we walked to the Roosevelt Island Tram. This is a cable car that runs over the East River and from there you have a spectacular view of Manhattan, the East River and Roosevelt Island. In 2002, the Roosevelt Island Tram was also the setting for the movie Spider Man. We had lunch on the island and spent the afternoon there very quietly walking and enjoying the great view. 
In the late afternoon we went back to Manhattan, because we had to be at the NBC studios in time, because we had tickets for the live taping of Late Night with Seth Meyers. This was again worth an experience. Unfortunately we had to turn off the mobile phone here before entering the studio and so unfortunately I couldn't take pictures of the studio. Seth Meyers is also a comedian, but you can already notice differences to trevor noah, who I personally liked better or who was funnier for me. The show is also more of a talk show, not so much a news show and there is a live band in the studio. One of the program points was the second chance theatre and Andy Samberg from the sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine was a guest.
After the show we went over the roofs of New York again. Since we were in the Rockefeller Center building anyway, we took the elevator to Top of the Rocks and enjoyed the view over New York by night. Unfortunately the rain drove us away and we had a nice dinner with the rest of the group in the Olive Garden restaurant at Time Square. Very good food and highly recommended. With full stomach we took the subway back home and to our beds. It was a long day and tomorrow we have to get up early again!
