And 3 is next door to 1.  See
<http://gallery.bostonradio.org/2008-11/la/>.  When I did the tour,
"Access Hollywood" was taping, so I didn't get to see whether the
audience seating was still there in studio 1.

2 and 4 are used alternately: they build sets in one while taping in
the other.  It was probably different thirty years ago.

I believe he's also in studio 3.  When I got out of the Tonight Show
taping, there was a page recruiting audience members for his show.  (I
guess there's not much demand to be in his audience.)

I don't think NBC is taping any game shows now -- at least not in
Burbank.  I think most of the game shows left in production on the
west coast are either at CBS Television City or at Sony Pictures
Studios.
