May 12, 2010 -- Niecy Nash left Dancing with the Stars last night from CBS Television City (see ticket, tour information below) as perhaps the most beloved performer of the season.
This lovely lady with her big heart and hearty laugh is due her video retrospective (see YouTube for alll Nash's great dances) as she jives, tangoes, and otherwise giggles into the lives of millions of fans as all wish her adieu from the famous Los Angeles-based television studio where Dancing with the Stars is taped.

By way of background: On the site of a former oil field, CBS Television City is convenient to next door neighbor, The Farmer's Market (a must for all LA visitors).
On the studio's stages, many famous shows have been taped or done live (depending on the mileau) but not necessarily those programs that air or have aired on ABC (DWTS is on FOX).
As for which show is done where at CBS Television City, Dancing with the Stages uses sound stage 46, once the stage for Deal or No Deal.
But, the most famous of all is stage 33, also known as the Bob Barker Studio.
These days, you can see The Price is Right there as well as Real Time with Bill Maher. In its former life,
In the past, The Carol Burnett Show was filmed on that spot for many years, as was Hollywood Squares, hosted by DWTS's own Tom Bergeron.
