A Day In Burbank Staying At The Tangerine Hotel - Bob’s Big Boy & Warner Bros / Johnny Carson Park

A Day In Burbank

[@Jazzy_Waffles]

There's just something about an early, cloudy, California morning, that you can't get anywhere else. Love that vibe.

[@TheHehe1223]

June Gloom is underrated

[@DodgerFanAD_23]

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.

[@mat.356]

[@badbackbatch]

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

[@DavidGutierrez-ib7rg]

Remember it well!

[@chuckfan1]

Fascinating

[@jeffhaddox2239]

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.

[@riparianlife97701]

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

[@skilletman16]

There’s a Johnny Carson Park? That is wild. I did not know that. 😉

[@carlk.426]

Ha! I'm so old, I get the reference. Gosh, I miss Johnny. Class act.

[@ZachSadler-bp4wi]

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. 😆

[@playedout148]

The flaming lips the flaming lips the flaming lips....

[@phototristan]

Looks like you may have had the same room I had and did a video review on like 11 years ago ;)

[@WrecklessEating]

Glad you are doing well my friend.

[@XanBos]

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!

[@dznyluver_Melynda]

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

[@HumanDissection]

So much for not filming any of the Warner backlot tour and enjoying it without the camera in his hands.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I was there almost all day and filmed a grand total of 30 seconds. Just to show progress of day

[@toddbob55]

Do you ever feel like people are watching you while filming public gets mad at cameras

[@joyjoyjoyfolie]

Always enjoyable Adam!!! Grew up eating at Bobs!!

I so glad i got to watch HERE'S JOHNNY live. I am 60 and it was one thing i really enjoyed was watching Johnny Carson

[@1otterlover]

It was so hard to get in the audience as a local living in Burbank, back in the late 80s/early 90s. Many a tour bus would get preferential treatment since they had the numbers to fill the seats. Surprisingly, one Thanksgiving Carson was doing a show and there were no tour groups to cut in. Who would want to go on Thanksgiving? So it was free and clear to attend. Did the same when Leno was the host.

[@Acrophobia1981]

Lol shows the bathroom with very little toilet paper on the roll then immediately shows the trash saying had some tacos last night 🤣

[@riparianlife97701]

No better diet than shitting yourself inside out.

[@andierob]

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.

[@debragundlach1749]

You are super, Adam! Enjoy 99.9% of your vlogs. 🎉Hugs, Debra 🫶

[@dogdaze598]

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.

[@daewooparts]

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 🙄

[@jamesbrown-js1yk]

i have been to see Leno and Letterman , so to me letterman had the better show ....but i can remember the guests that night was kramer from seinfeld , michael richards and rosie perez and the music was by nelly furtado...we sat near the stage and had to go thru security first ..they put you in a room and searched....i tried get a relative to tape the show for me and wouldnt , and that was some 20 years ago....i remember they let us go in the studio where soul train taped...

[@joycepollyanna8414]

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

[@heatherjohnston3404]

You can hear the happiness in your voice of just being in one of your favorite places 🥰

the Ranch IS STILL afilliated with Warner Bros, btw,,,,,, WB is leasing the property back from Worthe, It still is a WB property. :)

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."

[@BOSTONLOV3]

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

[@louisbrownusofa]

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.

[@philiplettley]

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

[@evancortez2]

In Mexico Bob's Big Boy is known as Niño Grande De Berto

[@Mash333]

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.

[@OCDobbins]

Adam, did you get your free (with purchase of an entree) Bob’s anniversary pin??? 😊

[@SolveThis4]

What bad timing! Just a few hours after the Bob's Big Boy footage was recorded,, a car plowed into the Veggie Grill diagonally across the street. The entire car made it into the dining area and left a huge hole to the right of the door on the Riverside Drive side! Unfortunately the Veggie Grill was not featured here but you could see the small white building in the distance a few times for maybe a second or two. As expected, the restaurant is now closed pending review of the structure integrity. This video was released -after- the accident.

The statue at Bob's Big Boy is a plaster figure of a chubby boy holding a tray with a double-decker burger aloft. The statue is inspired by a caricature of Richard Woodruff, a six-year-old boy who would help Bob Wian at Bob's Pantry in exchange for free burgers. When Wian called Woodruff "Big Boy", the name stuck and became the inspiration for the restaurant's signature dish and mascot. Warner Bros. animator Ben Washam sketched the caricature, which also inspired the company's logo. Large Big Boy statues are often displayed in front of Bob's Big Boy restaurants.

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.

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.

[@shutterflyboy85]

Wow, look at you. A shadow of your former self. 50% of the battle with the other 50% keeping it off! I think Sarah and John Conner stayed in your Tangerine room. That "Jeep-Truck thing" was an old early 70's Ford Bronco. Now a new Bronco takes its place at a 2000% price increase. Coincidentally, where that 1970 Buick/Oldsmobile was parked on the street by the old Christmas Vacation house location in hom'age to the powder blue 60's 'suicide door' Lincoln Continental in most of the outside shots. "The Columbia Ranch Dwarf Houses in Burbank, Los Angeles County, are a fascinating piece of Southern California history. These charming homes, also known as “Midget Town,” “Midget Houses,” “Snow White Cottages,” or “Munchkin Houses,” were built between 1946 and 1951. They line Hollywood Way between Oak and Heffron in Burbank. Here’s the backstory: Studio head Harry Cohn acquired the original 40-acre lot, known as the Columbia Ranch, at the end of 1934. Initially intended as a backlot for filming, these houses were not constructed as dressing rooms or offices. Instead, they were designed to be ordinary homes for normal people, each with no more than 900 square feet of space." Their present value is around $850,000. WB Ranch is history and so sad, replaced by soundstages that look like an Amazon warehouse. No style, merely functional. WBD/ Warner Bros.-Discovery stocks have been stagnant since I last posted, around $8 a share. Lakeside Carwash to be replaced by condimoniums. Johnny Carson Park, "I did not know that." He made fun of "beautiful downtown Burbank" consistently and said to get there "You go to the Slosson cutoff and cut off you're slosson." Isn't the "Parks and Recreation" town hall actually Pasadena? I guess you didn't film in the WB studios or you'd rather not repeat? All I see is Pee Wee on his bike. I got all this from the Wisdom Tree. Without it I'd be the Scarecrow. Great video. Thanks. PS-Go visit Tom!

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.
