Real Access

The show placed an emphasis on interactivity, responding to viewer-submitted questions and comments. Most episodes rely on previous archived interviews and news clips. From time to time, host Lauren Mayhew gets to interview a few of the show's subjects. There are recurring segments in the episodes, like "Choose" ("this-or-that" questions), "ID Checkpoint" (the subjects reveal their driver's license pictures), and "Web Access" (other questions for guests that were submitted online).

The show was filmed from Times Square in New York City.{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/31/arts/television-review-stars-in-their-teens-and-20-s-show-how-to-be-overachievers.html|title=TELEVISION REVIEW; Stars in Their Teens and 20's Show How to Be Overachievers|work=The New York Times|date=December 31, 2003|last=Hefferman|first=Virginia}} According to Noggin's former vice president, Kenny Miller, the producers of Access Hollywood approached him with their idea to make a teen version of their series. In an interview for Variety, Miller said, "They came and found us, and we loved their idea...we're going a little deeper than what you would normally get, even on Access Hollywood."{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2003/tv/news/nick-s-n-teens-gain-access-1117894678/|title=Nick's N teens gain 'Access'|work=Variety|publisher=Penske Media Corporation|date=October 27, 2003|last=Oei|first=Lily}}

In December 2003, MTV Networks launched a live tour to promote the show, called the "Real Access Mall Tour," in malls across the United States.{{cite web|url=https://www.multichannel.com/news/its-access-mall-n-push-155475|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200911192747/https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:KO1FCgrFnx4J:https://www.multichannel.com/news/its-access-mall-n-push-155475|archive-date=September 11, 2020|title=It's 'Access' Mall for N Push|work=Multichannel News|url-status=live|date=December 7, 2003}} It featured interactive components like "The Real Access Studio," where visitors could play the role of an on-air host by interviewing celebrity lookalikes in front of a live camera, and then review their performance on The N's website; and "The Pamper Room," where visitors and shoppers could receive a massage, have their hair coifed, or face made up. Shoppers could also answer celebrity trivia questions to win prizes based on Real Access.
