Behind the scenes at NBC Burbank, 1963…TK60s

On February 12, 2015 - TV History

TeleTales #74…Rare Video NBC Burbank Studio 1, Bob Hope Special

This is the opening of a 1963 “Bob Hope Chrysler Special”. As you will see, it was shot with RCA TK60 black and white cameras in the usually color, Studio 1. When you see the TK60, notice the TK41 color camera behind it.

Hope was the producer of his specials and resisted NBC’s request for a color production because of the extra added cost. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

    What a clever song, especially for those of us who know the in-joke making up each verse. Know all the references? And what crystal clear video!
