NBC Stuido Tour (Burbank, CA)

With time to kill before the taping of The Ellen DeGeneres Show at Studio 11 on the NBC Studios' Burbank lot, my wife and I opted to take a tour of the NBC Studios. The AAA admission price was $7.50 per person for an advertised 70 minute tour. In actuality, the tour took less than an hour.

The tour is advertised as including the following:
  1. Visiting the Tonight Show Studio
  2. Seeing one of Jay Leno's cars
  3. Visiting a soap opera studio
The tour starts with a short, although outdated, video introduction to NBC Studios. From there, we were escorted into the studio to a variety of sound stages. The first stop was the Days of Our Lives sound stage. My wife was excited by this as she's been watching this soap for 20 years. However, we were not allowed into the sound stage, but instead had to view it through a doorway. As a result, nothing was recognizable to her, and she watches the show every single day.

We did get to enter the Telemundo news sound stage, where robotic cameras are used in the filming of the newscast. From there, we saw the car that Jay Leno was driving today, a 1940s era (I'm guessing) Saab, and then visited The Tonight Show studio. Since we had seen The Tonight Show taped live previously, this was not all that exciting for us; however, we did get closer to the stage and learned a few things we didn't otherwise know.

All in all, I'd recommend saving your money. The tour was no comparison to the tour offered at NBC Studios New York. Instead, I would recommend going to the gift shop/tour entrance and requesting tickets to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. That way, you'll get to see the studio and the show and you wont miss out on much.

If you are a Days of Our Lives fan, the area just outside of the NBC Studios Gift Shop is "Salem Place." Thus, if you want to see something from Days of Our Lives, you can access this area for free as you enter the gift shop.
