The movie premier of "A Man For All Seasons"      

Interviews with Paul Scofield who won an Academy Award for his role, Robert Shaw, and Orson Welles.         

December 29th,1969-January 1st,1975 (ABC) 

Dick Cavett is back on television as ABC's new entrant in the late-night race. The format is desk and sofa five nights a week like the Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin shows. As Cavett sees it, it's the chemistry that counts. His forte:an articulate way with an interview, plus approaches to comedy that range from youthful innocence to the cynicism of WC.Fields. 

Guests:Robert Shaw and Woody Allen. Series premiere.                               

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.

October 15, 1973-January 28, 1982. An hour-long talk show hosted by Tom Snyder. Network television's first entry into late-late-night programming on weeknights Monday thru Thursday, usually broadcasting on tape 1 AM to 2 AM. "Tomorrow" was expanded to 90 minutes on September 16, 1980.    

Steven Spielberg's very first sit down interview on television. He discusses with Tom Snyder how he made "hem and stich" 8mm "mayhem" films as a teenager,  and spent an entire summer while in High School roaming the Universal movie lot, observing TV episodic television being made (Wagon Train, Convoy, Run For Your Life), and observing editors doing their craft.  Spielberg describes how one of his college films was seen by head of Universal, Sidney J. Sheinberg, who gave the young filmmaker a chance to direct ten episodic television programs, including Night Gallery, Marcus Welby M.D. and Colombo with Peter Falk who Spielberg states he enjoyed working with very much. He mentions  that these first films for Universal, including three feature length made for television efforts, were a great experience for future feature films that he would soon be working on, including Jaws which is discussed related to challenges working with a mechanical shark. Spielberg also recalls  anecdotes about working with Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss on Jaws. He talks briefly about his next film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which he has been working on for the past three years, scheduled to open in theaters during the Christmas holiday (1977).  

Tom Snyder's second guest is actress, singer, author,  Naura Hayden who discusses her book " Everything You've Always Wanted to Know About Energy Buy Were Too Weak to Ask."
Naura (Nora) mentions how she has turned her life around, physically and mentally, with her health shake consisting of brewer's yeast, lecithin, and safflower oil,  no longer craving  a need to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, drink coffee or consume sugar.
