11:00-Midnight- One hour WGBH News retrospective.

NOTE: The original archived complete 15 hour broadcast was recorded on 10 reels of 1/4" tape. WGBH took the lead related to coverage, though it was basically hosted out of Washington, D.C. This affiliate station was more stable than many of the others which were run mostly by college students.

There are many compromised audio issues in the archived reels. Performances on stage in many cases were recorded at much lower volumes and many speeches were recorded "off mike." Similar issues related to the volume exist when reporters at the scene are talking and then vast changes in volume are heard when switching to anchors who would report on follow up details and the dissemination of events that were happening and scheduled to occur.

The original recordings in some cases were poorly recorded in the first place at the time of the live broadcast. Whomever was controlling the sound mix of the varied broadcast audio feeds allowed, at times, for the ambiance of the crowd to overpower a performer on stage.

There existed at the time during transfers, dubbing, etc. other recording issues related to the archived tapes themselves which created level inconsistencies. Also, it must be remembered that THE EDUCATIONAL RADIO NETWORK at that time were comprised of NOT seasoned and experienced professionals like some of the other personnel employees working at the major networks.

Many of the above issues, related above, have been improved by Phil Gries after many hours of equalizing and remastering the entire broadcast. What now exists as archived at Archival Television Audio, Inc.is the best version known to exist.

#15229C: TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JOHNNY CARSON, THE

1966-10-03, NBC, 17 min.

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.

We hear Johnny Carson's opening monologue.

Special guest is Barry Goldwater, candidate for the President 1964.
Goldwater talks with Johnny about the Indians of the state of Arizona and about his hobby and avocation - flying.
He is a Major General in the Air Force Reserve. Goldwater talks about being "unemployed" and about his grandchildren, and his Arizona home. He discusses using his ham radio set to transfer personal messages from boys fighting in Viet Nam to their families in the USA. He states that he uses a phone patch which he monitors conversations, relating the calls.
Barry Goldwater discusses his book of photographs which he says will be published by Bennett Cerf and will be out next year.

Goldwater talks to Johnny Carson about political jokes, saying very few politicians get mad at lampoons. Discussing Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Goldwater says listening to Hubert is like looking at "Playboy" magazine with your wife turning the pages.

Barry Goldwater says he's anxious to get back into politics again. "I am too young to retire and too old to go to work!"
