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 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.

Congratulations to The Talk on reaching 1,000 Episodes

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.
