"The first of TWO Rocky Horror references you'll hear today." I shiver, with antici....................pation.

I could listen to your storytelling all day long. I appreciate the history you keep alive and your honesty about the situation. Can't wait for the next Vlog.

Scott. The building to the right of the RKO Studios was where I worked from 1970-1973. It was KHJ. Radio and Television, channel 9. I worked on the radio side with THE REAL DON STEEL, ROBERT W. MORGAN IN THE MORNING, CHARLIE TUNA and so many others. I used to have lunch at the EL ADOBE often with REGIS PHILIN who had a show called TEMPO co staring RUTA LEE. It was basically the same show he did later with KATHY LEE. I lived at the Paramount Apartments on Van Ness for 6 months and used to walk right in front of the original Paramount gates every day. I was sorry to hear you say that the Valentino Building was going to be torn down. I remember wanting to rent an apartment there soon after getting the gig at KHJ. They had a waiting list of one year so I saved my money and moved to Newport Beach instead. Of course you know that THE NICKODEL LOUNGE was just to the right of KHJ. I have so many memories of being there with DON STEEL and sometimes with MARTIN LANDAU. What GREAT memories. Thanks Scott. Love your channel.

Fun fact: Rose McGowan owns the RKO letters that used to be on the globe. I saw an episode of Million Dollar Listing LA a couple years ago (could've been last year) and they were auctioning off all the stuff in her house. The letters were mounted on a wall by her staircase if you want to look the episode up.

I miss living in Hollywood and seeing all of these historic sites each day. Great tour, Scott!

Thanks for keeping my hometown alive. Was a teen in the late 60s and the strip was the place to go on the weekends

LOVE this type of video. Thanks for including the old footage alongside yours! So neat. It’s a shame so much of old Hollywood is gone

Scott, you know so much about "old Hollywood" and it's reincarnations! Keep the good stuff coming -- WE LOVE IT!

Thank you for adding in the pics for reference! I I hate watching videos like this where they just tell you stuff but don’t give you a reference for what they’re talking about, it makes it seem so much more real and interesting so thank you for that extra bit of work.

Scott, this was extremely awesome! PLEASE do more!

Love when you walk about Scott. Makes a change from seeing it through your tour vehicle

To use your comment from "6 Degrees of Helter Skelter", this is endlessly fascinating. Seriously, who would have thought that Lucy's brother's name was "Fred." Learn something everyday! I could watch your videos all day long. Thank you so much. Stay safe and be well.

Scott is the best ...I love how he describes the most gory murders so matter of factly

The noise doesn't bother me. Actually makes it feel like I'm there with you. Great piece...

Thanks for some of the history of old Hollywood and RKO Studios Scott. For some reason at 57. I started to be fascinated with old Hollywood, RKO, Laurel Canyon, Sunset Boulevard, It is sad to see so much of Hollywood's history just disappearing. I live in Pa, And my only way to ever see Hollywood is by seeing videos like yours. For which I thank you. I wish I had the means to buy some of Hollywood's history like the RKO letters and other Hollywood memorabilia from being lost or destroyed and of course a few hundred acres of land to display it say like a Hollywood backlot for everyone to enjoy lol. Anyway, Scott. Thank you for keeping those Hollywood stories alive for all of us to enjoy.

You answered the question I was worried if the globe was gone I'm glad it's still there

Scott has a way of nailing down history with such wit & specificity. I enjoyed this so much!

I'm pissed that I've been in LA twice and not known about the Dearly Departed Tours! I'm coming back FOR SURE when it's free to travel in to the US again =D

Oh my Gosh! The Motor Scooter! 0:21 Great picture of Lucy and Desi on the Paramount door steps and Godfather the studio entrance 😀

I love stories of old Hollywood. Thank you for taking your time to show old pics and video.

Such fascinating information. Thank you also for the clips and screen grabs for perspective. You're knowledge is unlimited!

I highly doubt I'll ever get down to your neck of the woods, as much as I'd love to! This was awesome! Thank you so much for this! 😃

Oh my god that's my old neighborhood. I miss Larchmont so much. The perfect mixture of funky and rich Hollywood muck and glamour.

Scott, thank you for keeping the Hollywood of the past alive. I went on your Dearly Departed tour in January of 2019. Loved it. Thanks for all you do

That's so cool !! I love it !! I probably wouldn't ever get to see this in person , so I really appreciate that you shared this with us . Thank you Scott !!

I really enjoy your videos Scott, you have such a nice voice and you have a unique perspective on Hollywood that is always interesting.

I love how right after you give a big thumbs down on eating at the taco place. You go ahead and make yourself comfy on their front bench!! Lol haha^

I love the old building it’s gorgeous. I suppose they will knock it down and replace it with a soulless building. Why do they do this?? Wonderful dialogue and so much to learn. Thank you 🙏

Great job, old Hollywood holds many memories for myself. My Aunt & Uncle lived in the neighborhood during the 50's, 60's.

Wow!!! great video! Love and fascinated by anything Hollywood. I would like to thank you for being so respectful to Ms Lily St Cyr-the way you spoke in such a lowered voice and the said God Bless You-shows such respect and dignity. I for one appreciated that.

I’m a Lucy fan! OMG 😱 I had a picture of them all in black and white and due to storage I lost it, I’m still saddened by this. I use to watch I love Lucy as a kid 6 years old and I still do. My mom and Dad said I have an old soul💁🏽‍♀️maybe I do.78 I was born

Yet another awesome video!!!! Been following you for years Scott!!!! Glad your on YT now! Big fan!!! Your Hollywood stories are the best!!!!

Thanks for showing us old Hollywood before it's all gone.

I am a huge Rocky Horror fan and love any reference. Would love to see more on any person involved with that movie. We use to reenact every Friday night at the theater. Love, Love, Love.

Thanks for the tours. Im loving them!!!

I like how the kid on the motor scooter almost got hit by a car. Wow

Two Lucille Ball stories in my family. One, when my second oldest brother was a baby in the 1950s my mom was in an elevator with him going to a doctors appointment. Lucille Ball happened to be in the same elevator. She told my mom, “Your baby has such nice eyelashes”. I would have crapped my pants. My mom in typical fashion simply said, “Thank you”. The other occasion involved my second oldest brother - He was on the premier episode of the Danny Kaye Show. One of the dads on his little league team was a producer and they had his team come on to sing Take Me Out To The Ballgame dressed up in their uniforms. There were so many A list celebrities there including Lucille Ball. In fact she even signed my brother’s baseball mitt. Problem is he continued to play with this mitt. So much so that the signature eventually wore off. Anyone familiar with the Antiques Road Show will know this was a grave mistake - and something he regrets to this day.

Thanks so much for this Scott. I always love your videos and learn so much from you. Your podcast with Mike is one of my absolute favourites. Thanks from the UK 🙂

Just yet another regret in my life living in LA and never taking your tour . Love the storytelling, hope you put out more content & much success come to your channel

You are a absolutely awesome at what you do, and love your story telling of Hollywood and I've always wondered and was always curious and thank you for what you do! Thank you Scott! 😊

Thank you so much for these videos, Scott. I could truly watch them all day. My husband and I went on your tour with Brian during our honeymoon in 2012 and it was the highlight for me. We still talk about it to this day, and having these videos keeps me so entertained and reminds me of an amazing trip. ❤️

We were just there last July at the Paramount Studio. Loved West Hollywood where we stayed at a beautiful apartment we rented, ate lunch and dinner at the famous Musso & Franks, had a fabulous lunch at the Chateau Marmont it was one beautiful vacation. Can't wait to come back .

I could watch your stuffall day. If I hadn't read everything on findadeath.com I'd go there too but after ten years I've seen it all and love these new vlogs

These are really cool tours. I grew up out there 1965 to 1987. The places you go are fun to take out of state relatives when they visit.................."look Uncle Oscar Richard Ramirez broke in that house right there".

I love to watch this old age stuff. Great job.

You are so good at giving us little cool details about Hollywood.

Thank you for making these awesome videos, I love seeing the studios and film locations!

Scott I would love to see more videos like this one. The days of Lucy and Frank Sinatra Dean Martin were the golden days of Hollywood. To this day watching them give such a great feeling deep inside and also leaves me wishing that does days still could be seen a felt in 2022.i know I am older at 48 but I do not see any talent coming out of Hollywood. Hopefully I am not looking in the right places.

Scott I enjoy ALL of your videos, for someone who lives on the other side of the country it's an amazing way to see stuff like this...aside from travelling there

Thanks! Love watching and learning!

Fascinating as usual! Thank you Scott!

You are the most knowledgeable vlogger in Hollywood. I am spellbound when I watch one of your videos!! Great work.!!

Hey Scott Michaels, I'm so proud of you for coming out a few weeks ago. It was/is so brave. Imma straight heterosexual male and I think the gays are hella awsome. Maybe when I'm down in LA we could hang out and talk about movies and the like. Thank you, Scott!
