1st Look premiered on NBC in 2008 as a weekend travel and lifestyle series. The program was designed to give viewers an inside look at destinations, hidden gems, and memorable experiences around the world. Each episode features cultural exploration, food, adventure, and local activities, offering audiences an immersive travel experience.
1st Look showcases a wide variety of locations, from popular tourist spots to off-the-beaten-path destinations. The show’s format includes segments on food and dining, adventure activities, and cultural landmarks, providing a well-rounded view of each featured destination. Viewers are treated to both beautiful scenery and engaging stories about local traditions and people.
Over time, 1st Look has evolved its content to incorporate more diverse and exciting travel experiences. The series highlights not only iconic cities but also lesser-known regions, offering viewers a sense of adventure beyond typical tourist destinations. It has remained popular for its ability to blend entertainment and education, making travel accessible to a broad audience.
1st Look uses a rotating roster of hosts and correspondents rather than a single permanent anchor. Some of the most notable personalities in recent episodes include Sibley Scoles, Johnny ‘Bananas’ Devenanzio, and Ashley Roberts. Other notable past hosts include Audrina Partidge, Angela Sun, Nathan Nowels, George Oliphant, and Viviana Vigil.
