The Burbank Studios was formally NBC Studios where the tonight show was filmed. Folks would be lined up in front there every afternoon waiting to get in to see the show. I used to have my office close by - and I was born across the street at St Joe.s
I grew up in Southern California and I have distinct memories of being at that Bobs Big Boy. My grandma loved that place. There was one closer to where we lived and we at least went once a month. I always got the kids hamburger and it had this yummy relish on it. It’s been at least 30 - 35 years since I’ve been to one. Very nostalgic. I will say this area near all the studios is your vibe for sure.
I was actually thinking 🤔 more a long the lines since this is the Woos channel as soon as I saw that motel I thought of that guy from part 4 the one that Jason crushes his skull in the shower 🚿 before he gets killed he was singing Tangeeerrrine not by the flaming lips though a different Tangerine from a different time. 😆
I would love to sit down at Bob’s Big Boy, one more time. Every time I was back in California, or even on the way, Bob’s was one of the places to stop and eat. That particular Bob’s you stopped at, I may have been there once as a youth. I had family in California at the time, and they liked to show us around. The fact that I was born in California, I still feel a connection there. Part of me would love to go back and live, while the other part is content to be here where I am. Love the memories though. Thanks for sharing!
Tangerine Dream is a German electronica band that also did many soundtracks, including Risky Business, The Keep, Fire Starter, a movie you did a video on Three O’Clock High, Arnold’s Red Heat, the Michael Mann film Thief which is one of my favorite James Cann films, and many more including some video games.
The last time i was in Burbank CA was way back in the summer of 1983. My parents and i went to Big Boy several times during our stay. My favorite meal was the chef salad. We also went to the inaugural taping episodes of the syndicated Wheel of Fortune at the then NBC Studios. I remember that car wash being very busy back then. Sad to see it now. The biggest thing which i can't remember though is the name of the hotel we stayed at about a block away from both Big Boy and NBC. It was the place that Roy Rogers stayed at when he was in town. Anybody remember the name? I was out there in both the summers of 1981 and 1983 with my parents. I have never been back but videos like this bring back a flood of memories. Thank you for this.
I live in Toluca Lake! Next time you are here check out the neighborhoods across from bobs! Lilley Hall is a big tourist atttaction. THe owner of the house composed many films including white Christmas. Also bob hopes estate is located on moorpark close to Mcculley Culkins current house. Octavia Spencer resides here, Steve carrel, Johnny Knoxville. You’d be surprised who you run into or what they are filming in the neighborhoods
This has been a total trip watching this from your perspective, Adam. That’s my stomping grounds. My dad was a camera operator so I spent a lot of time at the Warner Brothers Ranch and Studios. Johnny Carson Park reminds me of high school. We sit around in a circle and light up. Never got caught. I’m not condoning it. I’m just sharing my memories. Lol. I grew up off of Hollywood Way so it was so weird to hear you say it. It’s hard to explain.
@@StinkyGringo It was fabulous. I have tons of great stories. I wish I could sit down with Adam and share them. He’d love some of them. Love your screen name, by the by.
The Burbank studio you showed was the old Tonight Show building NBC owned for probably 60 years. Carson and Leno hosted there for ever, hence the Carson park next door.
Seems like we have similar memories of similar places. I grew up in SoCal and now live in Kansas City. We are heading out to Anaheim in two weeks and will go to some of the places you have showcased on your videos that I had forgotten about. Thanks for these!
Next time you are in the area the white and green glass building is disney employee filled and they have a disney store that is open to the public on the first floor along with a Starbucks that I worked at before.
Morning Adam 😎📸 Heeeere's Johnny lol nice to see something different today then what you normally do like Disney lol i do like other things like this seeing what out there in California, im a kentuckian never been to California it's to far west for me. Thanks for sharing this.
@@dans1328Some of my clean,complimentary comments have gone.inti the wild blue yonder. You tell me??????? Clean living LOL. I say it means Little Old Lady !!!!!! 😉
Adam, I really enjoyed this video. I've been going to that Bob's for over fifty years! It happens to be a necessary stop when either coming from or going to the Burbank Airport. Since I live way out in the West S F Valley, it's fortunate that Burbank airport is my favorite which means frequent visits to Bob's. 😁 Toluca Lake is actually one of L.A.'s 114 official neighborhoods, and not a city itself. Since the border between L. A. and Burbank is a few blocks West at Clybourn Ave., Bob's is technically in Burbank, although a lot of folks still consider that area as Toluca Lake.
You've got to try Priscilla's next time. A favorite spot for screenwriters and actors to meet and work. I write there anytime I'm staying in the area. Great coffee too!
You know I've noticed the last two times he's been to california, Daphne hasn't been on video. Does she not want to be on camera anymore or something? Always enjoyed when her and Adam got together
Tyler my uncle dose awesome tile work. From Phx but they do celebrity’s houses all the time like some of the guys from the NBA Suns and others I’m not sure I can mention. Anyways let me know if you could use them. I’ll tell them to give you the hoovie discount. Let me know. 😎🇺🇸💯
That tree you showed the closeup of it's trunk . I think is a pepper tree. When I lived in Orange County, CA. years ago one of our neighbors had one in their front yard. And they have a unique smell to them. The soundstages that you showed are what's called a tilt up. They pour the concrete walls laying flat on the ground and then use a crane to stand them up. That's why you can clearly see two very heavy cranes in the shot.
Love me some Warren. I am so glad that most of the last years and current videos you talk punk. Love the references and the information. Not too many people on UA-cam talk much about it. Seeing Bad Religion Thursday.
The “towering buildings” are where my husband and I worked for Disney back in the day. Ate at Don Cuco’s and Bob’s. Alfred’s coffee used to be a salad and wraps place. Thanks for the trip down memory lane and a view of what it looks like now.
Question about Hollywood sound stages! Hollywood is full of studios, but why isn't there one big sound stage? Stage 12 at universal is the largest outside of Europe, but its only half the size of the 007 stage at pinewood studios in the UK, the largest is in Germany. Stage 12 is the world's 3rd largest. Not complaining about uk getting a lot of big films because of the 007 stage and it's size. Most of the star wars films were filmed in the UK anyway, some using 007 stage. Do you think it would be worth, and if in the future, the studios will get together and build a large sound stage to rival the UK and German ones? Or universal could build one, sort of thing the Warner brothers ranch could have been used for, I expect the other studios would rent it out too
That whole complete walk that you did.... What's the crime level like? Certain time of the day that you wouldn't want to do that particular walk? I wanna plan a trip there, and this video is great!
It's one of the safest neighborhoods in the whole LA area, mostly populated by wealthy retirees and affluent young professionals/trust fund kids, hard to get to without a car, and policed by a force that's famous for being one of the toughest in the region. Some of the apartments and business around there look old and kinda run down but don't let it fool you, a studio apartment there costs more than a 2 bedroom does in most of the country and those old restaurants are filled with studio executives.
Adam, I too absolutely love the Burbank area. Bob's is a must stop everytime I'm there, I love the old neighborhoods and neon signs. My dream neighborhood to live in is The Wonder Years neighborhood close by. If you haven't yet, you should try to stay at the Safari Inn one of these days- that one was in True Romance. :)
Have you ever stayed in the Safari Inn? Its not far from the Big Boy, and is my go-to LA hotel. Its been in some films too, including True Romance, and has a cool comic shop over the road called 'House of secrets' and a nice old timey restaurant called Tallyrand. Its next door to the famous 'Donut Prince' place too. Not stayed at the Safari Inn for a while though as its kind pricey compared to when i first started staying there before the big renovation. Nice video - i love Burbank. Ive not really walked around the area you've been in - i mostly know the suburbs, studio areas and small streets.
You only barely touched on it, but I'm glad you showed "The Burbank Studios"! Aka... former NBC studios where the Tonight Show was taped. You've made so many videos at the Bob's Big Boy, but you almost never mention that historic studio just across the street. I took the tour of it once and went to Bob's after. Sad that it is no longer open to the public.
A lot of the Frisch's Big Boy restaurants around here are closing down. It'll be a real sad day when all those are gone. Best fish sandwich and onion rings you can get.
There's just something about an early, cloudy, California morning, that you can't get anywhere else. Love that vibe.
June Gloom is underrated
Growing up in California I always liked that I could wear a jacket in the early mornings whenever I went to school, and yeah I definitely miss it.
❤❤❤❤

I love when you go to California! I grew up eating with my grandpa at Bobs Big Boy many times ❤️

Born and raised here in So. Cal. and always enjoy watching you checking out Burbank, especially Bob's Big Boy!!
“He stayed at Tannnnnnngerine.
Tannnnnnngerine.

And when he’s at home and, he blows his nose, he uses maaaaaagazines 💯😂
Now listening to Zeppelin's Tangerine :)

If you didn't list "the keep", was going to be upset. I played that VHS tape on repeat.

You can hear the happiness in your voice of just being in one of your favorite places 🥰
Always enjoyable Adam!!! Grew up eating at Bobs!!
I really enjoy all of your SoCal content the best, thanks for these videos!!!❤
Me too
You are super, Adam! Enjoy 99.9% of your vlogs. 🎉Hugs, Debra 🫶
That car wash sign is awesome. Love the designs from that era.
Hey Adam! Thank you for going back to the Coast, I too hope to make it back out to L.A.& do the WB tours soon. take care.
I eat at Don Cuco’s often. Always enjoy eating outside and watching film people walking by. The Tangerine was featured in an episode of The Office.
Glad you are doing well my friend.
That was a very cool video of touring Burbank. Thank you for sharing this and taking us along.
Thanks Adam👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Tangerine has been added to my go to hotels list. Thanks Adam
I just visited the Tangerine’s Website, Free Breakfast, nice Pool, Starting at $269 night. Not too shabby Adam 😎👍
That Mexican spot next door is really good.

There’s a Johnny Carson Park? That is wild. I did not know that. 😉
Ha! I'm so old, I get the reference. Gosh, I miss Johnny. Class act.
Good stuff
Ha ha, YES!
He was king of that town.

The Pepé Le Pew on the bag says it all 😆
Rock on MrWoo, dig your observations😎
Love the June gloom👍
Bob's Big Boy ..🍔🍟🥓..would be perfect for the fit by fifty diet
Yeah because a tiny portion of spaghetti is going to set him back months 🙄
Hey Adam welcome back to SoCal. Always nice to have you visit.
Seems like we have similar memories of similar places. I grew up in SoCal and now live in Kansas City. We are heading out to Anaheim in two weeks and will go to some of the places you have showcased on your videos that I had forgotten about. Thanks for these!
Adam the Woo just walkin around my beautiful Burbank all the live long day and of course I never see him. Have a fist bump, Universe. lol🌎👊
Fond of Burbank and the equestrian side of it. Horseback rental and riding up at Griffith Park. Been to Johnny Carson Park too, very nice.
June gloom in full effect
Bro you are looking great!
cafe Nova across the street from the hotel has great Italian food but the cheesecake is to die for . It’s homemade by a lady .
The Tonight Show belongs in Burbank!!!
So much for not filming any of the Warner backlot tour and enjoying it without the camera in his hands.
I was there almost all day and filmed a grand total of 30 seconds. Just to show progress of day
How can you not love LA !!!!!!
Next time you are in the area the white and green glass building is disney employee filled and they have a disney store that is open to the public on the first floor along with a Starbucks that I worked at before.
Socal baby!! 👏🏽👏🏽
just love the hollywood/burbank vlogs reminds me of when I lived there...
'THIS VIDEO CERTIFIED CUTE"! -⭐⭐⭐-
When Jay Leno took over the Tonight Show he used to use the Shell station across the street to come on the pumps tv and mess with the customers.
how is that weather so nice IN JUNE!!!!!!
The Woo needs to start traveling outside the USA , and head out internationally.
12:59 Little peach house is too cute!
Fun Fact: Taco 86 is Bobby Lee's favorite place to get a burrito in LA. Their breakfast burrito is amazing!
16:55 Saving Mr. Banks movie scene in front of this “Car Wash”, fast forward to 11:40 - you’re welcome 😉
Morning Adam 😎📸 Heeeere's Johnny lol nice to see something different today then what you normally do like Disney lol i do like other things like this seeing what out there in California, im a kentuckian never been to California it's to far west for me. Thanks for sharing this.
Many comments have been deleted, I saw several from earlier that vanished. 👍
With good reason most likely. I wonder why you think they were deleted?
@@dans1328Some of my clean,complimentary comments have gone.inti the wild blue yonder. You tell me??????? Clean living LOL. I say it means Little Old Lady !!!!!! 😉
Thanks Adam for visiting these locations, memories for me. I live in Ocala Florida now and I really miss Bobs big boy.

ADAM NEXT TIME CHECK OUT BOB HOPES OLD HOUSE AT 10346 MOORPARK ST, TOLUCA LAKE, YOU WERE VERY CLOSE.
Adding Bob’s diner to my bucket list ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Burbank studios is home to many old shows. Saved by the bell, fresh prince of bellaire etc. A studio that seems to get lost in the shuffle.
Tyler my uncle dose awesome tile work. From Phx but they do celebrity’s houses all the time like some of the guys from the NBA Suns and others I’m not sure I can mention. Anyways let me know if you could use them. I’ll tell them to give you the hoovie discount. Let me know. 😎🇺🇸💯
Gary Marshall was also in Hocus Pocus!
Frisch Big Boy in Tampa on N Florida Ave and Bush Blvd back in 1980
I still watch the old episode with you an Jordan the lion 🦁 when you both lived in Hollywood .

Great Burbank tour. I used to work in Burbank in the eighties.
The motel where Neil spotted Charlene cheating on Chris was filmed at The Tangerine at 3901 West Riverside Drive in Burbank.....from the movie "HEAT."

Love those houses!
There is a Bob's in Norco, CA, east of LA with a cowboy hat on. Norco has the title of Horsetown USA.
REALLY like this video because of the walking tour! Got to see parts of LA I would have otherwise never been able to see - excellent stuff!
Maybe there is a secret entrance to the bat cave in that coffee shop! 🙂
Bob Hope was originally Leslie Townes Hope. You should tap a pencil on your desk and say "I did not know that.".
That old jeep truck thing as u describe is a 66-77 early ford bronco Adam just to let ya know
I live in Orange but I love eating at Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank 😊

Vandals Live YES Tangerine pants!!!
Same shorts, different day
salmon golf shorts. FORE !!!
YAWN
Yep I brought three pair of shorts on this trip . Cycling them thru
hello again Adam , enjoyed the Vlog as always , thank you 😊
I love when you visit LA Adam because you lived here before just something cool about u and Cali 👍🏼
Hoping our Dodgers take care of business on this road trip!!!
It's interesting you thought of Alfred Hitchcock and I immediately thought of Alfred from Batman.
I was just there on Saturday and got a Big Boy collectors pin free as part of their promotion.
Next time you’re in Burbank you should check out Dark Delicacies! I love that place!
A lot of the Frisch's Big Boy restaurants around here are closing down. It'll be a real sad day when all those are gone. Best fish sandwich and onion rings you can get.
Look good Adam the Whoo👍👍
So sad to see all those sets go and sound stages in place….got some great footage on property though! Never be again sadly.
