1968-05-20, WNBC, 90 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.
Johnny's guests are Sid Caesar, Bob Hope, Imogene Coca, and astronaut Scott Carpenter. Sid Caesar remarks on challenges working in the round, last nights Emmy Award broadcast which he criticizes, the American public selling themselves short at this time reflecting more on criticism and less related to pride in the USA, wanting to do a comic routine on hippies, his observations, since a youngster, observing peoples behavior mannerisms and dialects which he demonstrates to Johnny and audience. Caesar mentions that off stage he is by nature shy and quiet, and reads a lot. Sid Caesar, Bob Hope, Imogene Coca and Ed McMahon recreate a 1939 Radio script with hilarious results. NOTE: It is interesting that on this broadcast both Sid Caesar and Bob Hope are angry at what is happening in America related to the attitude of young people who have become disrespectful and belligerent. Also, noteworthy, is that this broadcasts aired just 6 weeks after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King and just two weeks before the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
