25+ years of talk show production, on one stage
A talk show lives or dies on rhythm. Crew calls, camera resets, teleprompter cues, host changeovers, sponsor segments, every minute of slip in pre-production multiplies once you’re rolling. Our talk show stages are built so you don’t lose those minutes.
We’ve spent nearly two decades running a working talk show studio on these same stages, with a crew whose network careers go back 25+ years, producing daytime, late-night, sports, morning, lifestyle, podcast crossovers, and one-off network specials. Everything is configured so you’re not piecing the production together on shoot day.
Configurable set looks, swappable between blocks
The set is virtual, a photoreal studio that appears around the host live, in camera, so your look changes when the show changes. A morning energy on Monday, a late-night intimacy on Tuesday, a press-junket backdrop on Wednesday: same stage, same lighting plot, fresh world. No strike, no reload, no storage between seasons.
Pair the set with a custom backdrop or branded environment, and the look stays consistent across episodes, seasons, and revivals. Start with the looks in the library, like the upscale news & talk show sets and the morning show set, or bring us a reference and we’ll build the look.
No piecemealing. No surprises. Ready to roll.
The gear, the support spaces, and the virtual environments are all already on site, and crew is available as an add-on. You arrive with talent and a rundown. We arrive with everything else.
Audience seating is part of the studio at both locations, stadium-style in Burbank, so a live taping with applause and reaction shots needs no rented risers. The virtual system operator who runs the sets is included in every rental; teleprompter, camera and jib operators are an optional package.

Questions
Talk show studio rental: what hosts and showrunners ask.
- How do you create a talk show set?
- Start with a multi-camera stage and a virtual standing set you can swap in minutes. The talk show look, desk, seating area, branded backdrop, loads as a virtual environment lit to a single plot, with teleprompter and audio already in place, and crew available as an add-on. You bring the host and the rundown; the set, the cameras and the support spaces are ready to roll.
- What does a talk show studio setup include?
- A three-camera configuration, a beam-splitter teleprompter system (operator optional), a broadcast-grade lighting and audio package, swappable talk show furniture and set looks, and a telescoping crane (Albuquerque) or jib (Burbank). Dressing rooms, green rooms and production offices are on site.
- Can I rent a talk show studio in Los Angeles?
- Yes, our Burbank stage operates as a full talk show studio: three-camera configuration, teleprompter system, broadcast lighting and audio, and 250+ swappable set looks, with a second talk show studio in Albuquerque running the same pipeline. The virtual system operator who drives the environments is included in the rate; camera and teleprompter operators are an optional crew package.
- Can you rent a late-night, morning or sports talk show set?
- Yes. Because the set is virtual, one stage covers late-night, morning, daytime, sports and podcast-crossover looks, change the world between blocks without striking and rebuilding. We've produced every one of these formats on these same stages since 2007.
