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.
A Special telecast tonight for the motion picture premiere on Broadway at the Rivoli theater of "CLEOPATRA" with Bert Parks live at the theater interviewing celebrities in the lobby as they enter the theater with cut-aways to Johnny Carson in Studio 6B, who interacts with those being interviewed. NOTE: There is much humor happening during this remote pick-up as celebrities get out of their cars at the curb and they are stopped for photographs by some 500 photographers at the premiere. Local TV Station WPIX Channel 11 in New York City has first opportunities to interview celebrities on the outside, delaying Bert to do his interviews in the lobby. At times Bert frantically calls out to them and there is much humor exchanged between Parks and Johnny Carson who watches, and comments. After the remote interviews Roddy McDowall joins Johnny in the NBC Tonight Show studio and discuses photographs he took on the set of CLOEPATRA, including those of Elizabeth Taylor getting made up for her role. NOTE: At one point Johnny Carson, breaking up with laughter says: "I want a copy of this show." Ironically, this broadcast was wiped (erased) and is one of the thousands of "lost" TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts never saved/archived during the first ten years of broadcasting.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. An excerpt from this "lost" broadcast. Tony Randall discusses with Johnny his new record album which includes the the original "Boo-Hoo" classic co-written by Carmen Lombardo. Both Lombardo and Randall sing a duet of the song. Tony recounts the time he was co-hosting with Betsy Palmer "It's Oscar Night in Hollywood," live from the Brown Derby on April 4, 1960. It was a half hour broadcast where Randall was suppose to interview celebrities attending the Oscar broadcast, including Gary Cooper, prior to the Academy Awards actual telecast. Everything goes wrong for Tony including a last minute decision by the Academy to NOT have any actors or actresses appear before the the actual Oscar telecast itself. Randall relates numerous incidents from that disastrous broadcast. Johnny and Tony discussing moments when they would forget their lines, actress Carolyn Jones tells the story of John Barrymore who on stage was drunk and forgot his lines. The stage manager feeds Barrymore and his co-star on stage the line. Barrymore yells to the stage manager, "We know the line, but who says it?" Johnny loves the anecdote. 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.

This is the second of twelve ABC TV Specials that King would do over a period over a dozen years (April 9, 1968 - November 25, 1980). Joining Alan King for this second satiric revue of contemporary follies are Jack Carter, Shirley Jones, Linda Lavin, Tony Randall, Nipsey Russell and Leslie Uggams. SKETCHES: Boffo Airlines presents the ultimate in-flight entertainment: a live vaudeville show starring pilot Tony Randall, copilot Jack Carter, and stewardesses, Leslie Uggams, Linda Lavin and Shirley Jones.

Alan King is the moderator for a year-end review of news that the networks ignored. SHORT TAKES: Linda plays Alan's wife, fuming over the jokes he cracks at her expense: Tony Randall and Alan King spoof men's cologne advertising; and Alan, Nipsey Russell, Tony and Jack Carter play political conventioneers. Concluding the broadcast Alan King sings his own version of "Impossible Dream." Spokesman for sponsor Timex Watches, John Cameron Swayze, hosts two of the three commercials including one where a Times watch is strapped to a Snow tractor tread, and one where a Timex watch is strapped to a champion's ice skater's ice skate...proving that Timex watches is the greatest waterproof, shock resistant watch in the world.

September 24, 1968-May 20, 1969. This was the "Gloria Dickson Does Her Thing" broadcast. Television's only musical comedy series. "That's Life" starred Robert Morse and E.J. Peaker. Also featured were Shelley Berman and Kay Medford.1969-03-05, NBC, 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.
Guests: Tony Randall, Garry Moore, Sandler and Young, Gloria Loring. 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.#19700: DICK CAVETT SHOW, THE

Buckley, Jr. Dick Cavett entered late night television in 1969. During the summer of 1969 he hosted a thrice-weekly prime-time series on ABC, and later that year he succeeded Joey Bishop as host of the network's late-night talk show. Cavett brought with him the announcer and bandleader who had worked with him on his earlier shows - Fred Foy, who was for decades the announcer of The Lone Ranger on radio and television, and drummer Bobby Rosengarten. This new format was another attempt by ABC to compete against NBC's highly successful Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. Originally broadcast five nights a week. However, by January of 1973, the show was seen only one week a month as Cavett's ratings failed to dent Carson's. Jack Paar's return to late night television after an eleven year absence was similarly seen only one week a month under the new ABC series moniker, ABC's WIDE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT. On January 1st, 1975, The Dick Cavett Show disappeared from the network all together. In the fall of 1977 Cavett appeared on PBS in a half-hour talk show on which he returned to his strong talent: one - guest interviews. Host: Dick Cavett.
