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

[@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]

❤❤❤❤

[@jdnaquin4687]

May gray/June gloom is a bit underrated! Most people in SoCal don't like it, but it's a vibe!

[@poss4757]

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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@jdnaquin4687]

The little instant latte machine in the lobby was one of the coolest/most memorable things about staying there imo!

[@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.

[@joyjoyjoyfolie]

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

[@dznyluver_Melynda]

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

[@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.

[@joycepollyanna8414]

I was born in Burbank and lived for my first 3 years in North Hollywood. Dad worked at Lockheed.

[@heatherjohnston3404]

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

[@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.

That car wash sign is awesome. Love the designs from that era.

[@CCcastro336]

That was a very cool video of touring Burbank. Thank you for sharing this and taking us along.

[@phototristan]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@timgenter1264]

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!

[@WrecklessEating]

Glad you are doing well my friend.

[@debragundlach1749]

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

[@Joshg247]

Great vid. Love your walk and talk vids, and especially the "roadside theeengs" throwback.

[@missakt7489]

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.

[@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

[@blairoutproject]

Bob Hope Drive named after Bob Hope ? You don't say. Here's me thinking it was named after Bing Crosby....

[@chitchatpaddiwack5638]

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]

Sounds like you had an interesting childhood lol

[@chitchatpaddiwack5638]

@@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.

[@jorafter]

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.

[@MrX965785055]

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

[@Katiechloe23]

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 .

[@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. 😆

[@andrewhickinbottom1051]

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.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I haven’t yet but it’s on my list of places to stay on the future

[@matthewfarmer2520]

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.

Hey Adam welcome back to SoCal. Always nice to have you visit.

[@kranwa15]

Yesterday, we stayed in downtown LA at the Residence Inn, near the Graffiti Tower, wow! so much police activities, we could view the LA city and the G Tower from our room, sad but downtown LA has a lot of homeless, tents right up the roadway edge, very scary for them. Today we're staying in the Santa Monica area.

[@wlwal1]

Thanks Adam! Born and raised here in So. Cal. and always enjoy watching you checking out Burbank, especially Bob's Big Boy!!

[@birdman5223]

Rock on MrWoo, dig your observations😎 Love the June gloom👍

[@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

[@NocturnalSilence45]

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

[@lewisedison4181]

great video burbank like laugh in,I started drinking coffee when I was 4 years old at the church we went to when we got out they had some, I would put like an inch of coffe then fill it up with cream and sugar

[@TheDailyWoo]

Haha oh man !

[@max_archer]

My family moved to this area 30 years ago, and I've lived around there for most of the time since. (Minus a few years away for college and jobs.) It's really the last vestige of the San Fernando Valley I remember growing up in, with the quiet tree-lined streets, old-school mom & pop restaurants and shops, and so on. Sadly it's fading fast, gradually being taken over by the same trendy trust fund types that conquered the whole Ventura corridor years ago and quickly losing the "oversized small town" feel that used to characterize a lot of the south side of the Valley. I won't be around to see it go though, my family are putting their house on the market in a couple of weeks and once they're gone I've got no reason to stay. That carwash was a local institution for generations, but AFAIK was taken over by new owners a few years back and they really screwed the place up, as reading Yelp reviews will show. I think it's only been closed for about a year and last I heard it was slated to be demolished and replaced with a major condo development. I used to get my cars washed there pretty regularly back in the day and they had a bunch of photos and news clippings up in the waiting room, some of them showing productions that had featured it, can't remember any off hand though. One of the few remaining things in the area that I WILL miss is Don Cuco, the restaurant next to your motel. It's a great example of the old-school Mexican-American restaurants that used to be all over the area and I've been a regular for years. Sadly I can't see it sticking around too much longer than I am, giving the rising costs in the area and the new demographic's preference for more exotic and health-conscious, and above all instagrammable, foods.

[@MikesVegas]

I believe the last few times you’ve indulged in the goodness of Bob’s Big Boy, you were accompanied by Daphne 😎🍔

[@3hinesroad]

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.

Had the privilege to see The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and to be within shouting distance when he departed in his white Corvette. We had A tickets which guaranteed seating. If you had B seating, it meant you might ir might not get seating depending on what remained. Was able to be there when Kenny Rogers was a guest. Knew someone who knew someone Always helps !! Were you ever able to see Johnny ?? Then we went home and watched the show. Enjoy Calif. once again. See ya next time. O C old gal . Be healthy,safe and happy.😎🌞

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.
