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: Sandy Duncan, George Gobel, Tony Randall, Radu Florescu. 

NOTE: This specific TONIGHT SHOW may only contain an opening monologue by Johnny Carson.

David Niven is the host for this show, a collection of sketches that come fast & furious. Eight performers from TV and film round out the bill including Bob Hope, Carl Reiner, Edward Asner, Michael Bentine, Merv Griffin, Pat Harrington, Bobby Riggs, and Karen Valentine. Jack Benny, Ernest Borgnine, Johnny Carson, Angie Dickinson, Sandy Duncan, Glenn Ford, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and Desmond Wilson.

 Bluffer’s Guide (hour; comedy)
Bob Hope Productions; with Bob Hope, David Niven

The fate of this pilot was that it was not picked up as a series. 
Based loosely on the Bluffer’s Guides books published in England, this comedy pilot was executive produced by Bob Hope, who served as Master Bluffer, and was hosted by David Niven. It featured a slew of celebrities put into situations they have to bluff their way out of. For example: Carl Reiner was Shakespeare attempting to explain his next play; Merv Griffin had to sing while viewers were shown what he was thinking about; and Ed Asner attempted to handle telephone calls from his wife and two girlfriends at the same time. Other guests included Pat Harrington, Glenn Ford, Jack Benny, Sandy Duncan, Earnest Borgnine.
