The Best Seat In The House

This is about as good as it gets for those of us who wondered what Johnny saw from this desk. This is probably late 1971 or early 72, just before the move to Burbank.

    The linear-space saving band in front of the audience arrangement would return, of course, on Late Night with Conan O’Brien.

    @Geoffrey DeVoe. You may be right. It may be behind that back wall. It seems there were more seats for The Tonight Show than for Jimmy Fallon.

    She does look like Jane Fonda. The reason I know it’s Jaye P.Morgan is because I remember the original TV Guide article in 1971.

    @ Glenn Mack : I believe the column is still there. Only now the audience is pushed forward so it’s now on the top deck only further back, relatively. And It’s black or a dark color.

    The fish eye lens makes the audience appear farther away than they really were.

    This photo was originally in TV Guide. I never forgot it.

    I was always thrilled whenever there was a shot of the studio, and I remember that huge round support column halfway up audience center. They have since removed it, as it’s no longer there in 6B.

    Is that Jane Fonda on the right?
