October 10, 2007…The Beginning Of The End For NBC Burbank

Some nine years ago, NBC’s Brian Williams broke the news.

After that session, got begged to go next door to a smaller studio for Later taping (can’t remember who was host but it wasn’t Costas). One thing I remember is Leno had all new cameras and equipment (might have even had flat-screen confidence monitors on the cameras); then over to the other studio using TK-47. You could tell which side of the building the bread was buttered on!

    They had to rent space for Jay Leno’s prime time show. The set got some changes after he got the Tonight Show back. I still wish Jimmy Fallon had kept it in Burbank. Or Seth Meyers should have gone West.

    Because of the announcement, I made sure to take my vacation in 2008 to finally visit NBC Burbank. It was an historic facility.
