I visited the NBC Studios in 1986 and on "Johnny Carsons"-parking lot we seen his famous white Corvette (with a pack of Pall Mall cigarettes on his driver seat!). Interesting tour with sets of Hollywood Squares and other shows. Uhhh, good old 80s... :-)
The most amazing part of this is just how ignorant "normal" people were about TV production back then, in the pre-computer era. Shocking just how rudimentary the tour got "here's how we cut between two cameras..." "Mr. Carson doesn't have a window behind him..." Jeez.
1:34 -- I was hoping "Wheel of Fortune" would appear somehow. :) Nice upload as always, but this "PM Magazine" thing gave viewers less of a "video tour" and closer to a "best of" with emphasis on "The Tonight Show". Given the number of shows that taped at NBC Burbank, I'm sure they could've spent far more than three minutes on this.

Wow! I was a Page at NBC when this was made and know the other pages that were featured here. What a trip down memory lane.
Would've been an honor to have seen Johnny in the flesh. RIP, NBC Burbank.

Love the old Carson show. Johnny was the best host around.

It was sold and is now a rental facility known as The Burbank Studios.
Wow!
Thanks for a comment and thanks a lot.
Is this the same studios as KNBC local TV in LA?
Yes, NBC and KNBC shared space at NBC Burbank.
Is it now mostly vacant for sale?
