UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - September 14, 2011 - GetGlue, the leading social network for entertainment, has expanded their partnership with NBC to premiere their audience check-in initiative that will reward fans who attend tapings of television shows and entertainment related events.

Audiences lining up for the fall premiere of "Saturday Night Live" on September 24 will also be able to check-in.
While waiting in line for the taping of the NBC late night shows studio audience members can use their mobile phones, go to GetGlue via the GetGlue app or the mobile site (m.getglue.com), select the venue and check-in to unlock the one of a kind stickers.
The partnership was announced today by Alex Iskold, CEO and Founder of GetGlue and Vivi Zigler, President, NBC Universal Digital Entertainment.
"We are thrilled to grow our relationship with NBC by creating super exclusive stickers for those fans who attend a live taping of the 'Tonight Show,' 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' and 'Saturday Night Live,'" said Iskold, "This is the first time we have created stickers for an audience taping and NBC late night is the perfect partner to start this program with."
Zigler added, "NBC's late night shows are natural partners for premiering this Get Glue initiative as fans not only tune-in, but also line-up for the 'Tonight Show' and 'Late Night' five nights a week. And what fan wouldn't want to share that they are in the studio audience for a 'Saturday Night Live' taping?"
