BlackBerry and iPhone addicts may have let out a collective gasp Tuesday morning when tickets for the Washington filming of “The Daily Show” went out. Ticket holders were told not to bring any electronics including cell phones, cameras or other recording devices to the four shows being taped at the Harman Center for the Arts in Chinatown.
“Anyone carrying electronics or excessive baggage may be refused entry,” the e-mail confirmations warned.
Yeas & Nays decided to find out exactly how serious Comedy Central is about instituting a cell phone ban. Apparently, it’s not.
Comedy Central spokeswoman Renata Luczak said guests can bring their phones to the show, they just need to turn them off when inside the studio.
“They just don’t want devices on during the taping. If a device goes off, then they have to retape,” she explained.
“The Daily Show” starts taping in D.C. on Monday.
