Originally airing exclusively on NBC's owned-and-operated stations, the half-hour program airs in most markets on Saturday late-nights (usually immediately following Saturday Night Live) as part of NBC's overnight lineup of LXTV-produced programs, with an encore presentation on Friday late-nights; however, its timeslot may vary depending on the market due to commitments by affiliate to air local, syndicated or paid programming, while the program is pre-empted by some NBC affiliates (most notably, those owned by Graham Media Group, as well as WMC-TV in Memphis and WNYT in Albany.) Format The program looks at various travel destinations around the United States, with occasional episodes also filmed in international locales. Each episode spotlights trendy and noteworthy restaurants, tourist attractions and nightlife in each location, with some segments featuring the host participating in diverse activities. Illustrations of local cuisine are the most common segments on 1st Look, with certain entire episodes featuring tours of restaurants in one or more regions and accordingly, a look at the making of some of the eatery's signature dishes. The program sometimes deviates from its normal format to feature behind-the-scenes aspects of special events (such as the Golden Globe Awards). From 2011 to 2012, the program (through a partnership between LXTV and the lifestyle website Daily Candy) showcased special deals for home viewers involving locations featured on that week's episode.DailyCandy Deals Featured in TV Series http://www.clickz.com/clickz/news/2111111/dailycandy-deals-featured-online-video-series Christopher Heine ClickZ ClickZ Group Limited September 21, 2011 July 18, 2015 On-air staff Current host Guests hosts Former hosts Gardner Loulan (2008–2010) Viviana Vigil (2008–2010) Angela Sun (2008–2011) Pedro Andrade (2009–2011) Johanna Botta (2010–2011) Charles Divins (2011) Stuart Brazell (2011) Gerrad Hall (2011) Maria Sansone (2011–2012)Maria Sansone, Ready to Host LX's 1stLook, Says New Version Will 'Appeal to All Audiences' http://www.adweek.com/fishbowlny/maria-sansone-ready-to-host-new-version-lx-1stlook/44514 Jerry Barmash TFishbowlNY Prometheus Global Media September 23, 2011 July 18, 2015 Ali Fedotowsky (2012–2013)'Bachelorette' Star Ali Fedotowsky to Host NBC Travel Show '1st Look' (Exclusive) http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bachelorette-ali-fedotowsky-1st-look-host-297406 Rebecca Ford The Hollywood Reporter Prometheus Global Media March 7, 2012 July 18, 2015 July 26, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150726101027/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bachelorette-ali-fedotowsky-1st-look-host-297406 live Audrina Patridge (2014–2015) Ashley Roberts (2016–2018) Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio (2018–2023) References 30em External links http://1stlooktv.com/ LXTV official website Category:2008 American television series debuts Category:2008 English-language television series debuts Category:American travel television series Category:Food travelogue television series Category:English-language American television shows Category:NBC original programming Category:Television series by Universal Television
