Thanks for the info Melissa. I've had a read of the LA days of your trippie - you crammed loads into your time there! Also had a look at The Tangerine as possible accommodation and it looks good and as close to budget as I can expect in LA. I found another hotel, the Safari Inn, just up the road and a bit closer to more restaurants etc., so Burbank is looking like a real possibility. It means a longer drive to the airport next day, but we have the whole morning to get there so shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the suggested activities too - some good options there.
I hadn't thought about doing it the other way around and leaving Santa Monica until we're on the way to the airport. That would give us an extra hour or 2 for exploring the day before. Definitely food for thought... thanks for your input. It's a shame you can't see the show taping that you were after on your visit, hopefully something that suits you will come up. I can't say I've heard good things about Venice Beach - would Santa Monica be an option for you? It's quite difficult to get a firm itinerary in place when time is short, I'm finding.

We stayed at The Tangerine and visited Paramount Studios on the way to the airport. The Studios tour is 2 hours and it was on the way to the airport. You would probably have time for the 9am tour and be at the airport for midday.
We parked at The Tangerine and got an Uber to the Hollywood and Highland Center to see the Walk of Fame and Chinese Theatre. I like LA but that part of LA isn’t my favourite and I think only needs an hour or so, just so you can say you’ve seen it and taken a few photos of the stars. |

Another vote for The Tangerine! It's starting to look more and more like a good option. Honestly, I think I've been put off doing anything on the way to the airport with all of the tales of horrendous traffic and nightmare airport. But definitely happy to do a studio tour the day we arrive. I've had a look at a few different ones, and Paramount looks a good one. We're not fussed about hanging around Hollywood for a long time... as you say, take a few pics to say we've been there!
