October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Open of the show guests announced by Ed McMahon. Johnny Carson complete opening monologue is heard which includes the statement that Muhammad Ali who was supposed to be on last night's show is on tonight. Surprise guest is Bill Cosby who is heard later in the program commenting about viewing Ali's return to the ring with a TKO in 3 rounds over Jerry Quarry after three and half years in "forced" retirement. Cosby talks about the different feeling he had seeing the fight live as opposed to viewing it on TV. Ed and Johnny at the desk reading sage advice from a book published in 1904 and countering with updates circa 1970. Guest Muhammad Ali discusses his TKO over Jerry Quarry three nights ago. At 28 years of age he mentions that he has boxed for 16 years, has fought in 10 title defenses, and feels blessed that he has been able to be as successful as he has been. He mentions to Johnny that he had only six weeks to prepare for the Jerry Quarry fight, and dropped 28 pounds in that time. They talk about the cut that Ali inflicted upon Quarry, resulting in the fight being stopped. Carson screens a clip from the Jim Jacobs documentary, "Legendary Champions," which highlights Muhammad's career. Ali comments. Johnny states that Ali is so much more reserved at this time from the boisterous Ali of the past when he made predictions and spouted poetry. Ali comments. He remembers when he was 12 years old and after his bike was stolen he was introduced to boxing by patrolman Joe Martin. Muhammad Ali states that he would like to fight Joe Frazier after he fights Oscar Bonavena. Includes commercials. NOTE: A lost Tonight 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. Host: Johnny Carson. Guests: Muhammad Ali, Bill Cosby,#6928: SCOTT'S PLACE
Order1971-10-06, KFI, ?? min.
Scott Ellsworth's guest is pianist Oscar Peterson. March 30, 1970 - April 1, 1972 KFI 640 Los Angeles AM Radio. 162 individual broadcast Audio Air Checks survive. A goldmine of originally recorded live interviews with the greats from the Jazz and Big Band era, with integrated recorded samples of their work played throughout the broadcast. Scott Ellsworth was the creator and on-air host of the popular radio program, "SCOTT'S PLACE." It aired live on KFI-AM in Los Angeles, six times a week, from midnight to 4:00 am (MARCH 30, 1970 - APRIL 1, 1972). Over 500 unique broadcasts featured jazz and big band music, interspersed with live interviews with musicians, singers, composers, conductors, arrangers, band leaders, writers, music producers, dealers & promoters. These guest artists would drop by the studio after midnight, quite often following work or performing, and would bring some of their favorite records or personal recordings to the show to play for Scott and his audience. They would talk about their career, reminiscing with anecdotes...their love of jazz and big band music. Interviews averaged in length from one hour to four hours. Scott was exceptional in his ability to draw together some of the finest artists and musicians representing the history of jazz music...many who were not known by name to the general public, but well know to the jazz community dating back to the 1920's, 30's,40's, and 50's. The SCOTT'S PLACE theme music, "Have A Nice Day," played by Count Basie & his band, was composed and arranged by Sammy Nestico specifically for Scott, in July 1971. It was used permanently as Scott's theme music beginning in November 1971. Most of the lesser known legendary jazz artists who frequented the show did few, if any, talk shows in their life, making these candid conversations so valued since most of these individuals are now deceased. Guests included: Matty Matlock, Jess Stacey, Thelma Carpenter, Mercer Ellington, Lex Baxter, Nellie Lutcher, Billy May, George Van Eps, Shorty "Clarence " Sherock, Bobby Bryant, Dick Nash, Nick Fatool, Abraham Lincoln, Rollie Bondock, Ray Sherman, Irv Cottler, Lew McCleary, Kai Winding, Jack Coon, Pat Williams, Duke Ellington, Melba Liston, Conte Condoli, Benny Golson, Mariah McPartland, Johnny Mandel, Johnny Guarnieri, Vince Darosa, Stan Kenton, Fred Gerry, Gerry McKenzie, Pete Dailey, Robert Enevolsen, Jack Marshall, Clair Fisher, Howard Rumsey, John Klemmer, Maurice Harris, Johnny Best, Ted Curson, Dave Garroway, Jimmy Smith, Gus Bivona, Johnny Pate, Harold Land, Joe Marsala, Ralph Carmichael, Clair Fisher, Mundell Lowe, Dave Cavanaugh, Teddy Buckner, Al Rinker, Floyd Huddleston, George Auld, Sonny Burke, Bill Bacin, Paul Tanner, Lorenzo Flennoy, Bill Berry Dave Dexter, Blue Mitchelle, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Benny Powell, Lee Young, Joe Comfort, David Rose, Arnold Ross, Earl Palmer, Jimmy Witherspoon, Benjamin "Scatman" Crothers, Bill Evans, Cat Anderson (William Alonzo), Al Aarons, Ronnie Lang, Frank Beach, Joe Pass, Jimmy Jones, Van Alexander, Peanuts Hucko, Panama "David" Francis, Marty Patche, Louis Bellson, Sam Most, Don Menza Billy Eckstine, Sam Donahue, Nellie Lutcher (second interview), Teddy Edwards, Alvin Stoller, Marshall Royal, Terry Gibbs, Louis Jordan, Ulysses Livingstone, Dr. Bill MacPherson, Al McKibbon, John E.
