"THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON" HONORED WITH 30 ROCK MARQUEE

Prominent 6th Avenue Marquee Is First at NBC's Corporate Headquarters

NEW YORK - Nov. 25, 2014 - As another example of the positive cultural impact of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" relocating to New York, a one-of-a-kind marquee has been created and unveiled on the 6thAvenue side of 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

This historic tribute to "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" is the first marquee at 30 Rock located on the 6thAvenue building entrance.

"Every time I walk in the building and see that marquee, it will remind me of the legacy of 'The Tonight Show' and how honored I am to be a part of its incredible history," said Fallon.

"The new marquee is a bold reminder that 'The Tonight Show' is back in New York City from historic 30 Rockefeller Plaza," said John Wallace, President, NBCUniversal Operations and Technical Services. "Showcasing our iconic NBCUniversal programs and talent, plus improving the fan experience, are key elements of our comprehensive building redesign project."
