Nickelodeon on Sunset refers to a now-defunct television studio and soundstage located on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. It was originally built in 1938 by Earl Carroll, a popular American entertainer of the time, as a luxurious supper club called "Earl Carroll's Theatre Restaurant." The venue, later renamed "Earl Carroll Theatre," was known for its lavish productions and extravagant performances.
In the 1990s, Nickelodeon, a prominent American cable and satellite television network dedicated to children's programming, acquired the property and transformed it into a television production studio. Renamed as "Nickelodeon on Sunset," the facility became Nickelodeon's West Coast headquarters and housed various production stages, editing suites, offices, and more.
For over two decades, Nickelodeon on Sunset served as a hub for the creation of numerous beloved television shows, including "All That," "The Amanda Show," "Drake & Josh," "iCarly," and "Victorious," among others. Its iconic orange façade represented the network's vibrant and energetic brand identity.
In recent years, Nickelodeon gradually phased out its operations at the Sunset location and relocated its production facilities to other venues. The building was eventually sold, resulting in the end of Nickelodeon on Sunset's existence as a television studio. However, its legacy remains as a significant landmark in the history of children's entertainment and the growth of Nickelodeon as a network.
