1960-06-27, KABC, 00 min.
You think this is a show just for teenagers? Just because the singing guests are Paul Anka, Annette Funicello, Frankie Avalon, Anita Bryant and Bobby Darin? And Edward Byrnes and Bob Denver (Dobie's friend Maynard) are around for the sketches?
Straighten out, viewer. The producers claim this is a full-blown variety show, with songs of every description. Pat Boone is host, the 60 minutes are taped and exactly one medley will be devoted to sampling these youngsters record hits.
Rest of the show divides up into four parts of the "Young World."

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.
Guests: Joan Rivers, Frankie Avalon.
NOTE: This specific TONIGHT SHOW may only contain an opening monologue by Johnny Carson.
