October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.

October 15, 1973-January 28, 1982. 

This broadcast featured Al Goldstein (co-publisher of "Screw" magazine), prosecutor Larry Parrish, and Harry Reems (star of controversial X-rated movies such as "Deep Throat"). 

This broadcast featured Al Goldstein (co-publisher of "Screw" magazine), convicted in Wichita Kansas on a charge of conspiring to mail obscene material across state lines, and in a second segment guest Larry Parrish, who was the prosecutor in the federal trial in Memphis Tennessee which convicted actor Harry Reems on obscenity charges for his role in "Deep Throat (1972). 

 Opening the broadcast, host Tom Snyder reads a quote from the March 17, 1975 "Screw" magazine written by Al Goldstein who described Snyder as an "empty head" and stated that Tom would not ever even consider putting Goldstein on his show because of his own scruples. Tom Snyder reads a telegram from Chuck Barris  praising the host. 

Topics covered include:
Goldstein publisher of "Screw" magazine since 1968...the trial in Wichita..."Screw" only sold mostly in NYC and that there were only one subscriber in Wichita...as many as 120,000 subscribers...the attempt to only allow the sale of pornography material in certain geographical locations in Times Square...
Goldstein feels he deserves the right to be left alone and be able to publish what he desires.
Other topics are discussed including...Porno vending machines...the LA Free Press, an ever increasing growing market for adult publications. Goldstein professes he is proud to be living in the Unites States of America, and proud of the recent decision by the courts exonerating him. 
In answer to Tom Snyder, Goldstein describes his prior "Screw" magazine background which included working as a journalist ride patrol cars with Walter Winchell, covering Jackie Kennedy in 1962, photographic assignment in Cuba tracking down Raoul Castro and working in Russia in 1960.

Al Goldstein describes to Tom Snyder his work with t he Village Voice in the 1960's when he fantasized stories which were gobble up by readers. He confirms that "Screw" magazine was the first to show frontal nudity on the cover and homosezual photos inside the editions. Al Goldstein does not think of himself as perverse. In reality he is a homebody playing with his child every night. Goldstein states that there will be a soft core National "Screw" magazine distributed containing a lot of humor but also containing nudity. 

A discussion of Goldstein's cable station broadcasts...and finally professing again to state the "Screw" magazine is for most a psychological outlet publication. 

Second guest on this broadcast is Larry Parrish, who was the prosecutor in the federal trial in Memphis,Tennessee, which convicted actor Harry Reems on obscenity charges for his role acting in "Deep Throat" (1972).

Discussed, how the pornography market evolved from low budget no director less exploitation films to a more"Hollywood" approach, with greater budgets and some modicum of a script, creating a more elaborate audience for this type of material. Snyder brings up Marlon Brando's performance in "Last Tango in Paris" and poses the question why has he not been brought up on moral charges for acting in a film with explicit sex being shown?  Larry Parrish states that in his opinion "Last Tango in Paris" is not considered obscene and "Deep Throat" is considered obscene (scenes containing masturbation, excrement, unusual sex, etc.).

Also discussed is why Linda Lovelace and Gerard Damiano were not also brought up on charges as was Harry Reems? Snyder brings up the question, what purpose is made to put Reems behind bars for only being an actor in a pornographic movie? Parrish again states that anyone convicted of a felony should go to jail even though Reems only made $100 for his role in "Deep Throat."

It is why this case is so important  to the people of Tennessee and why it is so important to bring this case to trial. 

Show ends with the music, 
"New York, New York, It's a wonderful Town." 
The Tomorrow Show has returned to New York form California, a transitional fact that Tom Snyder talks about at the top of the show.

Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.

This broadcast featured Peter Falk & Barry Gray, who had just been suspended from WMCA radio broadcasts. 

Tom Snyder recalls past Tomorrow Shows that had challenges associated with them...when tape had to be stopped during production.

Peter Falk discusses his latest film, "Mickey and Nicky," including the psychology of the characters. A clip is shown and discussed. Falk talks about the brilliance of director Elaine May, the dynamics which make for whether to be involved with a film or not, how Bing Crosby was the first choice to play "Columbo," interest in doing less of these shows and more features. 
Peter admits that at one time he wanted to be a spy and was rejected by the CIA...spending time on his own in Yugoslavia where he live for awhile...attending five different colleges...and how he appears to be relaxed on the outside but inwardly he is most times nervous. Additional subjects discussed is the film "Network" which Falk believes portrays an accurate account of what goes on today, feelings about New York City during especially the holidays. 

Barry Gray discusses his 15,000 hours working in radio, and his firing by WMCA a month ago. He states why he was fired, talks about his first jobs in the business working for KMTR and KMPC, time in the service, first affiliation with WMCA in New York when he has worked for 26 years. Barry Gray mentions to Tom Snyder the types of interviews he likes to best conduct (political).

Guests are George Carlin, and Robert Klein. 
Topics of discussion include:
The seven words that cannot be said of television, Carlin's metamorphosis through the years...development, and personal changes. Carlin's busy schedule including making 75 appearances a year...the difference between concert performances and performing in Las Vegas.
Robert Klein relates as well. His definition of what is a stand-up comedian, accrediting Rodney Dangerfield as a mentor.

George Carlin states that the audience shapes the art of the comedy that is performed. Not wanting to do a TV  series because of so many restrictions that one has to agree to. Loves doing personal comedy and writing which is a very lonely process. 

Robert Klein views very few comedy series as iconic such as The Honeymooners. Both discuss the merits of That Was The Week That Was. 
The discussion moves to film financing and those challenges. Carlin remembers his roots, beginning as a Disc Jockey, Robert Klein beginning as a school teacher, including always humor into his teaching. At one time Robert Klein admits, until he went to college, he has aspirations of becoming a surgeon. 
The subject of taboos in comedy is discussed.

This broadcast originally scheduled to be broadcast live from Rose Bowl live from Pasadena was changed to a live presentation in a studio due to rain. Tom Snyder explains at the top of the show. 

A lively discussion with first guest, Mickey Rooney who talk to Tom about a myriad of topics including, His love and long working career relationship with Judy Garland, early work in Hollywood and on television, and losing his own identity when he was at a crossroads in his declining career in the 1950's, his thoughts on each or his former wives (7 marriages), his children, his thoughts on his 5' 3" height. Mickey also states his praise for Barbara Streisand and Woody Allen and Jack Nicholson. He reminisces about the studio system working for and with Louis B. Mayer, Harry Cohen, his filing for bankruptcy, bad management, current work doing a lot of theater plays and his frame of mind today.

Andy Devine joins the discussion. He was recently in intensive care for five weeks and received over 14,000 fan letters. This would be his last broadcast  interview as he would pass away only six weeks later. Devine discusses the four films he made with Rooney...meeting him when he was called Mickey McGuire, appearing in over 400 motion pictures, his love for the character "Jingles" which he played on the TV series The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickock (1951-1958), working with John Ford and Harry Carey in 1919. Andy Devine also discusses his "Help the Children" campaign initiative striving to get more medical alert bracelets for all who can benefit by wearing one.

Segment two guest is Ron Galella who is the Paparazzi photographer who make headlines in 1973 having been punched in the jaw by Marlon Brando...loosing four teeth but receiving a settlement from Brando for $40,000. 

During the opening of the broadcast host Tom Snyder walks over to cameraman Freddie Smith and takes his stool away, stating that he sits by the camera reading the Post Newspaper as they tape the show...done all in good fun.

In a rare interview Russ Meyer, known for his soft core X - Rated movies discusses his career and background. He recalls his mother giving him an 8mm movie camera which began his fascination with taking films. Meyer was a field photographer in the military and he remembers filming Ernest Hemmingway in Paris, Garson Kanin, and General George Patton. After service Russ Meyer explains that he went to San Francisco and did industrial films and also still photography centerfolds for Playboy Magazine. Worked as a still photographer on Have Gun Will Travel, Gunsmoke and Rawhide TV series. 

Meyer recalls that in the 1950's most nudist films had unattractive subjets. His first big hit shooting soft core fillms was "The Enormous Tease," which for its time was shocking audiences. Then he did the Vixen series which put him on the map. Two of his stars from "Super Vixens" join in the discussion with Tom Snyder.

An hour-long talk show hosted by Tom Snyder. Network television's first entry into late-late-night programming on weeknights Monday thru Thursday, usually broadcasting on tape 1 AM to 2 AM. "Tomorrow" was expanded to 90 minutes on September 16, 1980.                          

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970s, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
