I thought they moved into Studio 4? This is where Dean Martin, and "Chico and the Man" were produced. Perhaps I am wrong. "Later with Greg Kinnear" may have been in Studio 4? "The Jay Leno Show" was produced from Studio 11 on the other end of the NBC Burbank lot where it remained until the end of Jay's run as host.

@@FredLord-sp4ym According to Bill Carter who wrote The Late Shift, Jay and his original team moved into Studio 3 which was adjacent to Studio 1. That was the studio where Carson famously in 1976 walked into to speak with Don Rickles about breaking his cigarette box.

@@FredLord-sp4ym Initially, Helen Kushnick, Jay's deranged manager, wanted Johnny on his final night to take his microphone and leave Studio 1 and enter Studio 3 to hand over the mic to Jay as a sort of passing the baton. The Carson team were furious at this suggestion and it never happened. In fact, I think Johnny never mentioned Jay Leno as the new host on his final show.

@@johnking5174 Studio 4 is where they also produced "Chico and the Man," and I believe the original "Hollywood Squares." "The Dean Martin Show" was also produced there as well as "Later with Greg Kinnear." I got to meet and hang out with the technicians when I was a guest of a producer. It was great stuff. Elvis' '68 comeback special was also produced in Studio 4.

@@johnking5174 I have been hoping for someone during that Era to go more in depth about the tensions that were present during the hand off from Mr. Carson to Jay. Ms. Kushnick was something else. The way that she got Jay the show and to think that Mr. Carson would do something like what she wanted (handing the mic off to Jay) seems beyond dellusional to me. Thanks for the story. I read, reread, and read Mr. Carter's book. The HBO movie did not do the book any justice, but loved it nonetheless and more each time that I watch it again. LOL.

Whatever you do, do not blame Conan.

Jay was born in 1950. So he was 44 years old.

Thanks! This must be the repeat airing. I'll update it.
