89831: Judges' Desk and Buzzer Buttons from America's G

Judges' Desk and Buzzer Buttons from America's Got Talent (NBC TV, 2006-). Very large and distinctive rectangular wooden desk painted silver with stylized rounded corners and a clear acrylic top. It has two drilled holes in front of each judge's position (for microphone and buzzer attachment) that rests on angular-pointing silver pipes (2"D) (providing room for up-lighting fixtures); and three stainless steel light boxes on its front face each in the shape of an "X" (18.5"H x 24"L x 5.5"D) that are still functioning and light up white with detachable milk-white acrylic faces in silver metal frames and neon tubes inset behind each X and around the perimeter of the desk face that light up blue. On verso, the ends of the desk are masked with black Duvateen and "IATSE 800 SCENIC ARTISTS" and "IATSE 33 Shop A5 Los Angeles, Calif." is each stenciled in white paint beneath the desk and various electrical cords and power strips are attached below. This desk was used by celebrity judges David Hasselhoff, Howie Mandel, Sharon Osbourne, and Piers Morgan on Seasons 3 through Season 5. This U.S. series is based on the British production, Britain's Got Talent (2007- ) as is this desk, which was re-made in the style of the first U.K. desk. Measures 115"L x 28.5"H x 32"D. Together with three plastic spring-loaded buzzer buttons that mount to the judges' desk, which would make (or break!) a contestant's appearance on the show. The red plastic buttons are mounted in black plastic housings. Measure 3.75" x 3.75". Acquired from Fremantle Media. The desk exhibits general wear, scuffs, light scratches, commensurate with age, construction and extensive production use, but remains in very good condition.
