Hunt Intel: NBC Studios (30 Rockefeller Plaza)
Did You Know?
The Floating Studio: Studio 8H (home of Saturday Night Live) is actually suspended by heavy wires! It was built this way so that the rumbling of the NYC subway wouldn’t ruin the sound during recordings.
Yankee Roots: The balcony seats in the SNL studio were originally taken from the old Yankee Stadium.
The $3,000 Beatles “Reunion”: In 1976, SNL’s producer offered The Beatles $3,000 to reunite on the show. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were actually watching the show together just a few blocks away and almost caught a cab to the studio to do it!
A Century of Tours: People have been touring these hallways since 1933. That’s nearly 100 years of television history!
