NBC Burbank Studio 1

Now You Know Why…

Ever wonder why Johnny Carson sometime looked like he was talking to a balcony audience? Well, take a good look at Studio 1 in Burbank and you’ll understand. Although there is no balcony, the audience seating is very high and at a pretty steep incline…like stadium seating and the people in the back are waaay up there. Thanks to Martin Perry for the photo.

    Actually, I can remember watching at home and seeing him go up in the audience occasionally for segments like “Stump the band”
