If Walls Could Talk…
This is the hallway at NBC Burbank that Johnny Carson walked for his 20 years there. The hallway separates Studio 1 and Studio 3, with 1 being on the left. These days ‘Access Hollywood’ shoots in Studio 1 and I think ‘Days Of Our Lives’ shoots is 3. Thanks to David Crosthwait for the photo.

I believe Carson was 30 yrs host of TNT.
Michael, the first 10 years of that were spent in New York.
Great photo. Roamed those very halls myself with George Burns.
Memory lane.
