Speaking Of Bob Hope…NBC Burbank Studio 1, Behind The Scenes<\/p>\n
Short but sweet. Here is a 2 minute video clip from what I think is the beginning of an episode of ‘Bob Hope Presents The Chrysler Theater’ from 1963. We’ll see great shots of Studio 1 (Carson’s home base) and oddly, a TK60 with a TK41 behind it. <\/p>\n
Studios 1 and 3 are next to each other in the front of the building (the two original studios) and 2 and 4 were on the right side of the building. 1 and 3 were built as black and white studios (for later color conversion) and 2 and 4 were built as color studios. I think by ’63, Studio 3 had gone color, leaving 1 as a black and white studio.<\/p>\n
I think the TK60 scene actually inside Studio 3 and is being taken with a Studio 1 TK60 (next door) for live insert. I don’t know why, but maybe the Studio 1 opening had a lot of intense set changes that made it necessary. I don’t know how else to explain it. do you? <\/p>\n
This ‘Bob Hope Presents The Chrysler Theater’ show ran from ’63 till ’67 inside various formats. Usually, Hope introduced the show which was either a video tape or film drama anthology type presentation and was paid $25,000 for the intro. Other versions include ‘Chrysler Presents A Bob Hope Special’ in which Bob starred with guests and was paid $500,000 to produce. To save money, Hope usually opted for a black and white show, unless NBC was pressing him for a color show, which they began doing in ’64. <\/p>\n
