Welcome to CBS Studio Center!
By Judi Miller
As we gear up for an awesome season
ahead, we’d like to welcome to the lot our
new friends Grandfathered, The Real O’Neals,
Colony, Criminal Minds:Beyond Borders, and
Kevin From Work. I must say too that it sure
is great to see our old friends CSI:Cyber,
Brooklyn Nine Nine, Last Man Standing, The
Odd Couple, Baby Daddy, Soul Man and Big
Brother returning again! And of course
greetings to those who never left us, The
Talk, Entertainment Tonight, and The Insider!
The lot is bustling and though everyone
is very busy, I hope you all can take the time
to make use of the many facility services
we offer here at CBS Studio Center, such
as………..
Carla’s Café – Run by JCS Catering,
the café is located in the center of the lot
and open daily from 7:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
for breakfast, lunch and snacks. The café
crew is also happy to cater your table reads
and crew feeds, and supplement your craft
service needs.
Take Five Coffee Shop – Stop by the
north side of the Administration Building
to get your Starbucks© coffee fix! You’ll
also find many other assorted refreshing
beverages and snacks as well.
Joe’s Gym – Yes, we have a gym
conveniently located on the lot so no
excuses! Memberships are offered exclusively
to employees and tenants of the lot, for a
nominal fee of $12 per month. The gym is
located in the basement of Stage 19 and is
open 24/7. There are men and women’s
locker rooms complete with showers. To
join, simply purchase your membership at
the Studio Supply Station (listed below)
then bring your receipt to the Security
Office and access to the gym will be added
to your card key.
Elaine’s Beauty Studio – You’ll find the
salon adjacent to Stage 9. Elaine specializes
in men and women’s haircuts, perms, color,
and make-up application.
Nationwide Car Detailing - It doesn’t
get any more convenient to keep your car
clean and shiny! The car wash staff will pick
up your vehicle directly from your parking
space, and return it when finished. Call
x5042 for details and pricing.
CBS Supply Station – Just inside the Colfax
entrance you will find the Supply Station
which carries a complete inventory of
expendables, electrical supplies, hardware,
lumber and steel, as well as snacks, beverages
and logo items such as hats, tee shirts, and

The Talk celebrated the taping of its 1,000th episode on
Thursday, April 23rd, on Stage 16 where it all began five
years ago. The cast and crew were heralded as the hardest
working people in daytime by Angelica McDaniel (Senior
Vice President of Daytime Programming), John Redmann
(Executive Producer), and Sara Gilbert (Executive
Producer) before taking part in a ceremonial cake cutting
and cast & crew photos. Now in its 5th season, The Talk has
been steadily gaining viewers, and recently surpassed The
View in ratings for the first time in January with 2.95 million
viewers. The hosts (Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Aisha
Tyler, Sara Gilbert, Sheryl Underwood) celebrated the
1,000th episode by playing multiple games with Jeopardy! host
Alex Trebek, which highlighted stand-out moments on the
show from the last five years.
The Talk airs every weekday on CBS at 1:00 pm, PST.

As you have undoubtedly noticed, the Studio
is extremely busy and thus there is a lot of
truck and general vehicle traffic. Please remain
alert at all times as you travel around the lot,
obey the posted 8 MPH speed limit and stop
signs, and do not text while driving, cycling,
walking, etc.
Productions will be filming throughout the
Studio regularly, so be aware and stop as
necessary for red lights.
Remember, safety is everyone’s responsibility! You can reach the Safety Department at x5256,

The Fourth of July Fireworks Festival held on the CBS Studio Center lot was once again
enjoyed by thousands who attended the event. A joint venture between CBS Studio Center
and the Studio City Chamber of Commerce, the Festival is in its 17th year, and had something
for everyone – from a kids zone to great entertainment, fabulous food and of course,
spectacular fireworks.
The Television and Motion Picture Car Club was back by popular demand. The car show
was bigger and better than ever, as were the magic shows from the Magic Castle and model
airplane demonstrations from the Black Sheep Squadron. Pirates and mermaids from Studio
City Tattoo and Mutiny Magazine were available for pictures, spray on tattoos, and for the
tomato toss.
This year’s charity was Special Olympics World Games Host Town Studio City. Three days
before the Special Olympics World Games began in Los Angeles, Studio City, spearheaded by
the Studio City Chamber of Commerce, hosted 90 athletes and coaches from Cuba and the
Czech Republic. Hosting responsibilities included housing, transportation, trainings, meals
and cultural activities.
CBS2 and KCAL9 Meteorologist Josh Rubenstein was the master of ceremonies on the
main stage, which included an evening of country music with Cody Bryant and Deana Carter.
Grammy nominated Carter performed her hit songs including, “Did I Shave My Legs for
This?” and “Strawberry Wine” and topped the night off with a terrific performance of the
national anthem accompanied by her son Hayes. A stunning fireworks show from the Pyro
Spectacular team lit up the sky as a fitting culmination to a fun filled day.
“The Fourth of July Fireworks Festival is a great partnership between CBS Studio Center
and the Studio City Chamber of Commerce, who have come together for the last 17 years to
provide a celebration that is enjoyed by thousands on the lot, and many more throughout
the neighborhood as they gather to watch the spectacular fireworks,” said Esther Walker,
Executive Director of the Studio City Chamber of Commerce, and Festival’s event director.
