Even if you've never watched the show Beat Shazam, you've probably played some kind of version of it all by yourself. Have you ever heard a song at the grocery store and tried to identify it before whipping out your Shazam app? Been at a party that's playing a song you recognize but can't quite name? You'd try to figure it out before opening up Shazam. Imagine that, but a show, hosted by Jamie Foxx.

Where is 'Beat Shazam' filmed?

Beat Shazam, since Season 1, has been filmed in Los Angeles. The show is specifically filmed and produced in CBS Television City, which is located at 7800 Beverly Boulevard in the Fairfax District. Fun fact: If you want to visit, you're also within walking distance from the famous Los Angeles mall, The Grove. And you're also near endless delicious restaurants, including the iconic Canter's Deli (on 419 N Fairfax Ave).

A majority of game shows are filmed in the Hollywood and Burbank studios in Los Angeles, including Paramount, Raleigh studios, and the Warner Bros. studios (those are the major ones, but there are far more located across all of Los Angeles).

There have been several renovations at CBS Television City which includes adding four more sound stages. It makes sense that the music game show Beat Shazam is filmed there, because the sound quality and setup is probably better than other studios. Every single episode has been filmed at the CBS studio.
