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: Peter Falk, Victoria Principal, Robert Klein, Linda Monteleone.
NOTE: This specific TONIGHT SHOW may only contain an opening monologue by Johnny Carson. Other content, as listed, will have to be monitored and confirmed upon your order request.

"The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder is NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE.
October 15, 1973-January 28, 1982.
Guests are George Carlin, and Robert Klein.
Topics of discussion include:
The seven words that cannot be said of television, Carlin's metamorphosis through the years...development, and personal changes. Carlin's busy schedule including making 75 appearances a year...the difference between concert performances and performing in Las Vegas.
Robert Klein relates as well. His definition of what is a stand-up comedian, accrediting Rodney Dangerfield as a mentor.
George Carlin states that the audience shapes the art of the comedy that is performed. Not wanting to do a TV series because of so many restrictions that one has to agree to. Loves doing personal comedy and writing which is a very lonely process.
Robert Klein views very few comedy series as iconic such as The Honeymooners. Both discuss the merits of That Was The Week That Was.
The discussion moves to film financing and those challenges. Carlin remembers his roots, beginning as a Disc Jockey, Robert Klein beginning as a school teacher, including always humor into his teaching. At one time Robert Klein admits, until he went to college, he has aspirations of becoming a surgeon.
The subject of taboos in comedy is discussed.
NOTE: This broadcast was done LIVE.
