Jim Henson Studios sold to singer John Mayer and filmmaker McG

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (CBS, KYMA) - The Jim Henson Studios in Hollywood, California is going back to its original name.

Singer John Mayer and filmmaker McG announced Monday they've completed the purchase of the Hollywood studio and they're changing the name back to "Chaplin Studios."

The Henson Company moved into the studio, which was originally established by Charlie Chaplin, in 2000, but agreed to sell it last year before moving to the Radford lot in Studio City.

Mayer and McG say the Chaplin Studios will continue to operate as a fully functioning production and recording studio for music, film, and television.
