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. Guest host: Joey Bishop. Opening monologue.

Time slot usually reserved for London's "Sunday Night At The Palladium." This special brings the multi-faceted talents of the great Lena Horne to fill this hour with great entertainment, without disappointing the viewers of the regularly scheduled programming. The show is split into three parts, to show many of Miss Horne's moods. Different camera variations were used by producer Jon Scoffield, carefully distancing each variation to enhance each shot. Miss Horne leads off with "I Wanna Be Happy," then slips off to a nitery set for a charming reprise of her career in terms of tunes. She recalls her early days at the Cotton Club with "World On A String" and gives tribute to drummer Sid Catlett, who taught her rhythmic refinement with "Do I Love You." Also appearing with Ms. Horne are her pianist Lennie Hayton and a rhythmic section. She is also joined by her guest, actor James Mason and the Jack Parnell Orchestra under Lennie Hayton. Produced by Jon Scoffield. Duplicate of 10037.
