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.

1969-01-24, ABC, min.
Joey Bishop, Regis Philbin, Don Rickles.

     April 17, 1967 - December 26, 1969


Joey Bishop is the host of this week-night-talk show originating live from Hollywood. The announcer and sidekick is Regis Philbin. Johnny Mann conducts the orchestra. 

The ABC Late Night chair had previously been occupied by Les Crane when the show was called THE LES CRANE SHOW, and later by a succession of guest hosts (when it was called NIGHTLIFE).

Bishop gave it a two & half year run but he was never able to beat Johnny Carson in the ratings, and in late November 1969 Joey was fired by ABC. Bishop had one more month to fulfill with the show but decided to walk out, a similar deja vu moment on TV when Jack Paar walked off his TONIGHT SHOW 13 years before.  

Dick Cavett then took over the ABC late-night seat after the final JOEY BISHOP SHOW which aired December 26, 1969, closing out the decade of the '60s. 

Guest: Don Rickles.

1969-04-29, NBC, 60 min.
Durward Kirby, Johnny Carson, Alice Faye, Victor Borge, Don Rickles, Irwin Corey, Just Us

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.

Johnny Carson's guests are Don Rickles, Victor Borge, Irwin Corey, Durwood Kirby, Alice Faye, and Just Us.

Guest: Don Rickles interacting at first with Ed Sullivan and then satirizing him and his wife, Sylvia, in his "caustic" stand-up routine. 

An interesting rerun of Rickles' only appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show as a performer (he took a few bows on other shows). The original broadcast aired on January 12th, 1969. However, at the end of this re-run program a new ending was added with Ed Sullivan introducing his next week's show headlining Gordon MacRea, July 6, 1969.

Also, there are bows to be taken in Ed's audience including those by Buddy Hackett, Abbe Lane, Myron Cohen, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jack Carter...each getting plugs where they are appearing in clubs. Also, at the conclusion of the broadcasts Sullivan plugs Don Rickles entertaining on July 4th at the Concord Hotel. 

In addition, during closing credits, Jack Lord promotes the next broadcast of his Hawaii Five O program, "Along Came Joey." 

We hear CBS announcer reminding all to tune in on Tuesday for CBS News Investiture of Prince Charles, and a reminder that up next on CBS TV,  HEE HAW on most of these CBS stations. 

Commercials:
American Railroads, Tareyton Cigarettes and Coca Cola.  

Final 13 minutes of the program.

ED SULLIVAN SHOW, THE, (TOAST OF THE TOWN)

 Most of the 1,087 broadcasts, encompassing 10,000 performers, have been archived. The major exceptions are the first half year of shows circa 1948 of which a few kinescope excerpts survive.
