That is the studio SNL is supposed to be filmed in 30 Rockefeller Plaza
The centerpiece of Rockefeller Center is the 71-floor, 872-foot (266-m) GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza ("30 Rock") - formerly known as the RCA Building - centered behind the sunken plaza. The RCA building is the setting for the now famous photograph taken by Charles C. Ebbets in 1932 of workers lunching on a steel beam without harnesses. The 800 feet drop lies below. It was renamed in the 1980s after General Electric (GE) re-acquired RCA, which it helped found in 1919. The skyscraper is the headquarters of NBC and houses most of the network's New York studios, including the legendary Studio 8H, home of Saturday Night Live. NBC currently owns the space it occupies in the building as a condominum arrangement. Unlike most other Art Deco towers built during the 1930s, the GE Building was constructed as a slab with a flat roof, where the Center's observation deck, Top of the Rock, is located. The famous Rainbow Room club restaurant is located on the 65th floor.

'30 Rock' is short for 30 Rockefeller Plaza. That's the street address of the building where NBC has their corporate offices and their New York TV studios. 30 Rock and the Letterman show (among many others) are broadcast from studios within that building.

The show's title comes from the nickname of 30 Rockefeller Center, also known as the GE Building. It is used as the headquarters of NBC's New York City studios, including Studio 8H, home to Saturday Night Live.
