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.

An hour-long talk show hosted by Tom Snyder.
Host Tom Snyder's guests are adult film actress Marilyn Chambers who went from being the "Ivory Snow Girl" to star in porno films such as "Behind the Green Door" and "The Resurrection of Eve" and Jaime Gillis male sex actor renown who states he loves the business and possibly one day he will produce X rated films.
Marilyn and Jaime both discuss a myriad of topics including the more exotic, as Chambers sees it, soft core X rated films and films that are seeing more production values produced by Gerry Damiano and the Mitchell Brothers. The future of pornographic films has seen recently Warren Beatty involved with a script that contains soft X material. Porn films such as "The Story of O" and "Emannuelle" are brought up as examples of masterful recent soft core product.
Tom Snyder asks Marilyn Chambers to discuss her advise columns in the men's pornographic magazine Genesis. She states that she receives many letters related to how to improve ones own sex life. Chambers concurs that one should give into ones own fantasies. For relaxations Marilyn Chambers says she likes to cook and work on her garden. Gillis concludes that he has appreciated lately that he is getting to act more in his X - Rated films which he desires to do more in the future.
