One of the most exciting aspects of living in New York City is the access we have to attend tapings of some of our favorite television shows.  And later this month, one of the most popular shows around, CBS' The Talk, will return to New York City for a week of special episodes, to be broadcast Monday May 14th through Friday May 18th on CBS.  Co-hosts Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood and Aisha Tyler will shoot a week of shows originating from Studio 42 at the CBS Broadcast Center.

As you likely already know, The Talk, CBS's daytime talk show, features a panel of well-known news and entertainment personalities discussing current events, pop culture, contemporary issues, family, celebrity and the trending topics of the day.  Throughout this special NYC week, The Talk will feature celebrity guests including Howard Stern, Tom Selleck, Michael Weatherly, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Rachael Ray.  The Talk will also feature New York-based nutrition, finance, home improvement and fitness experts as a part of the Redo You series focusing on self-improvement.  Plus, there will be audience giveaways that home viewers will have a chance to win. 
And guess what?  You can be a part of it all!  One lucky Macaroni Kid subscriber will win a pair of tickets to the May 14th 2pm taping of The Talk right here in New York City!  Read on for giveaway details.  For more information on The Talk, including a lineup of hosts and guests, visit www.thetalk.com.
