1:54
hollywood and highland now gotta
1:55
remember this level p3 row g aisle six
1:59
parking kind of underneath where the
2:02
chinese theater is it has been a while
2:04
since i've been over here at hollywood
2:05
boulevard
2:08
i'll take the elevators or escalate i'm
2:10
more of an escalator guy so if i take
2:11
the escalator escalator
2:14
overload
2:16
what the heck they got rid of the
2:17
elephants up there the elephants are
2:19
completely gone there used to be an
2:20
elephant perched up there and an
2:22
elephant perched up there the elephants
2:25
have been erased
2:27
from existence and there's some
2:28
construction here on the where the
2:30
fountain was
2:31
the elephants are gone i heard that i
2:33
heard a rumor they were gonna get rid of
2:34
them i didn't think they were going to
2:35
follow through on them but the elephants
2:37
are history construction update
2:40
stanchions they remove part of the tile
2:43
just a little construction update these
2:45
are the very stairs that you could see
2:46
in the oscars so many celebrities have
2:48
walked up and down these stairs and they
2:50
have some of the academy award winners
2:52
like 75 one flew over the cuckoo's nest
2:55
and looks like they're setting up for
2:56
something over in front of el capitan
2:59
got the fake foliage walls over here
3:03
standing in front of well on top of the
3:05
robin williams star ll cool j
3:08
salma hayek and of course chuck bronson
3:10
was originally his last last name but he
3:12
chose that because he walked out of
3:14
paramount studios which was on bronson
3:16
and said that's a more recognizable and
3:19
easier name for people to pronounce i
3:20
think would be better for my
3:21
career we're doing an announcement here
3:24
the stars started red carpet premieres
3:26
it was all the biggest and most
3:28
important movies of all time
3:47
there was a time when this piano worked
3:47
so you could walk up the staircase
3:50
and these sensors right here so you put
3:52
your foot here and then play that note
3:54
in this note
3:56
but that was a long time ago and when
3:58
stan lee got his hand prepped i stood
4:01
right up there it was very crowded kind
4:03
of perched over
4:04
and zoomed in on that historic moment
4:11
i think mgm studios did a great job with
4:11
recreating
4:17
the drama chinese theater now according
4:17
to the sign is the chip and dale rescue
4:19
rangers world premiere might be
4:21
happening a little bit later i don't
4:23
know if i'll be around for that but
4:24
that's pretty cool oh there's the banner
4:26
up there chip and dale is back
4:28
pretty wild seeing it like this with all
4:30
the construction and whatnot
4:33
a time or two i stood up there on that
4:35
balcony you could really get a good
4:36
perspective and you can even see
4:38
downtown l.a from up there but can't go
4:40
up there right now because all the
4:41
construction and here's a fire truck
4:43
right here
4:45
la county fire truck
4:47
you never know what you're going to see
4:48
out here on the boulevard
4:50

4:54
from canada hey mister and i always like
4:57
this crosswalk you can walk a couple
4:59
different directions like an x across
5:00
you don't have to go in the traditional
5:03
fashion also buster is up there on top
5:05
of ripley's i always like to see
5:07
good old
5:09
buster i call him that because he's
5:10
busting out of the ripley's roof believe
5:13
it or not buster is a dinosaur that's
5:15
busting out of the top of the roof and
5:18
this
5:19
that's the historic
5:21
what's that like a what do you call that
5:23
right there a little balcony
5:25
yeah yeah i call that i can call it
5:27
lanai i'm thinking of fletch

5:35

5:39
scott on tape i can introduce you with
5:40
that and you have covered this and grade
5:42
it to a great extent greatest thing
5:43
because i love pretty well but i only
5:44
did this location because edward comes
5:46
up the street in his limo with the aria
5:49
from uh hear what opera it is but you
5:51
can still see
5:52
the only thing is still the same with

5:55
yeah it's behind him as he drives up
5:57
there this is all that she comes out
5:59
very second window from your left okay
6:02
and then he uses the
6:05
to bring down the ladder the ladder used
6:07
to be on the opposite side okay they
6:09
change that uses his umbrella of course
6:11
right here there's a big tree right here
6:13
that tree's gone i don't know how to get
6:15
rid of trees science
6:17
and then use the umbrella lines up and
6:19
then the second one
6:21
is where they suck face
6:23
oh wow yep so my question is
6:27

6:43
the seifeld building no oh this is where
6:46
you
6:47
when he when kramer goes to hollywood he
6:49
