The Pride Of NBC Burbank…Studio 1
Here’s a look at this gigantic studio from around 1955. Studio 1 is 42′ feet high, 119′ long and 89′ wide with 10,591 square feet of floor space. Studio 3 next door is almost the same size but is one foot shorter coming in at 118′ in length.
Studios 2 and 4 came about three years later and are both 12, 371 square feet. Studio 9 is 11,771 square feet and Studio 11 is 18,079.
Although others may be larger, none is more famous. This was the home of many great shows, but most of all, this was the studio Johnny Carson called home. Enjoy and share!
Worked there almost every Sunday doing the Tonight show.
I heard these are going away
On Youtube is the pilot episode of “Let’s Make a Deal”, and it opens with a wide shot of Monty sitting in an empty studio with similarly steep bleachers. Would it have been this particular studio?
