In case you missed it, the 2019 Emmy nominations are here and there is a lot of representation when it comes to TV shows filmed in New York City. Leading up to the Emmys ceremony on September 22nd, we’ll highlight some of our favorite NYC TV shows that are nominated. Check out our coverage of Russian Doll Pose  aired as it always does, Saturday nights right inside the in New York City. This season saw little changes in the hilarious cast, with only one member departing and one joining. Although Ariana Grande was set to be the musical guest of the premiere episode, she quickly pulled out after her breakup with Pete Davidson, and the show booked Kanye West instead, with host Adam Driver. Also returning this season was Alec Baldwin, who guest stars as Donald Trump in the show’s presidential sketches. Although it’s been 44 years of this classic variety show, there were still some historical firsts, like Sandra Oh as the first Asian-Canadian host, and BTS as the first K-Pop group to be the show’s musical guest. Notably, Adam Sandler returned to the show to host after almost 25 years, a record tied with Dan Aykroyd.

In terms of the filming locations for the show, Saturday Night Live is produced in Studio 8H in NBC Studios, which is inside the . On commercial breaks, the crew quickly transforms the small set, transforming the space into homes, ships, restaurants, interrogation rooms, schools, and more. Occasionally, there are pre recorded sketches that are taped on location around Manhattan, like this year’s sketch starring Leslie Jones.
