Media

Most production professionals are moving to Burbank, “media capital of the world.” Moving to Burbank offers some great entertainment for those of you interested in the glitz and glam of media production. You can take a tour of Warner Brothers Studios or the NBC Burbank Studio and get a look at the behind-the-scenes action and sets of your favorite TV shows and movies! If you search far enough in advance, you can also get tickets to see the taping of a TV show! The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno are both filmed in Burbank. You will probably even bump into a celebrity at the grocery story around the corner of their studio.
