I just thought of something. There are A LOT of television shows that tape each day in front of a live studio audience. Some of them I watch all the time: Conan, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Real Time with Bill Maher, etc. Some of them I watch whenever I happen to catch them: Ellen, Letterman, SNL, The Price is Right (hardly ever awake for this one), Who Wants to Be A Millionaire (or this one...and it airs around NOON!), The Jimmy Kimmel Show, etc. And for some of them I'd sooner pull out my fingernails with pliers before watching them: The View, Oprah, Dr. Phil (these three shows alone are enough to make any man sterile for a good year or so after viewing), The Tony Danza Show (who the hell asked for this show? who wants to listen to Tony Danza right after waking up in the morning!?), Live with Regis and Kelly, Jerry Springer (yep, he's still on), Martha Stewart, all judge shows (you've got your Judge Judy, your Divorce Court, your Judge Joe Brown, and so on), etc.Regardless, I just realized that with each of these shows (and the many shows that I didn't mention) a group of about a hundred or so audience members is required for EACH show's taping! That means that THOUSANDS of people are attending live tapings of shows EACH DAY across the country (mostly in NY, LA, and Chicago, of course). Considering how most of these shows have restrictions on how often you can be a member of their audience (usually once per year), that makes it less likely that these audiences are made up of the same people over and over again. Where do all of these people come from!?
Sure, during college I attended a taping of Conan, Jon Stewart, and Letterman with my friends (as I'm sure many college students do, since they have so much free time), and there's also retired people. But, it's not like the studio audience at Conan is filled with a bunch of people in there 20's and 70's! There are plenty of middle-aged people in the audiences of shows...why aren't they at work, taking care of their families, or doing something else important (again, when your in college or an old person, going to see Letterman IS the most important thing to do)?
The only educated guess I can make is that our country's unemployment rate is so out of control that the people of our nation have decided to give up looking for new jobs and, instead, have decided to seek comfort in the warm embrace of the studio audience. Any other ideas?

They aren't at work because these shows tape at 6:30 PM.
Well, that's an interesting theory...but it's completely wrong, Mr. Cooper. You above all should know that while these shows begin taping around 6:30 PM, most of them require that you arrive in the 4:00 PM hour. And, considering most of them are in NY, LA, and Chicago, there is also usually a considerable amount of travel time involved to get into these cities. Therefore, the average person working 9-5 couldn't possibly be at work for more than a few hours if they were coming to these shows. Hence, why aren't they at work (or should I say, why aren't they at a full day of work)? Also, this doesn't resolve the issues of family care, considering children are not allowed at these tapings. Thank you.
In LA, they do actually go around touristy areas handing out tickets to tapings (though I've only seen them offered to unpopular shows)
