these types of shows unironically use a crew for an audience. you can see the same people in there across many episodes of whatever talk show you look at. they aren't even actors (lol). they're like the jannies of the acting world. the fruit flies. if there's an audience member that's not part of the regular crew, they are vetted and placed in a spot where the camera isn't likely to see them much. all true. not even a joke. same goes for political rallies except they use a smaller percentage of 'actors'. also it takes about 5 hours to shoot one episode lol every single bit of dialogue is carefully crafted to seem natural. if you ever go to a tv shooting, take some high proof grain alcohol or something because you'll be bored shitless.
