Unedited version. There will be some long pauses with the band playing where the local commercial go. You don't get that on TV. This show is now on rumble.
Johnny Carson was ABSOLUTELY my very favorite 🤩 late night TV show host!🌟 He was smart, intelligent, with a impeccable sense of comedic timing. As a teen, well past my bedtime, I would quietly slip back into the living room to catch his show. Imagine the enjoyment I’m having on CZcams by being able to access his old shows & cast them to my TV to watch…as I’m doing at this very moment. Just too “GOOD!”☺️
I MUST mention that it is SO refreshing to see all the old commercials included with this. I dont know about anyone,but I am SOOOOOOOO fricken tired of todays commercials,with the never ending nightmare of casinos,medical plans,save the animals,kids with cancer,and the fellow with the pillows.Thats literally ALL you see,ALL day,EVERY day.Anyone agree with this???????
Wow, Ed Sullivan on Johnny Carson! Such good memories. I would watch him every Sunday night with my grandparents (they raised me and my brother). My grandfather, an Italian immigrant, loved Ed Sullivan. Always called him classy! God rest all their souls, a much better time, a much gentler time. I remember it all so clearly. Wish we could return to those days when people respected each other and talk show hosts concentrated on entertainment and not politics.
Thank-you for posting this rare gem. I wish that the final show from New York and first show from the move to Burbank were posted somewhere. Also, it is a shame that Doc Severinsen and the NBC Orchestra's extended bumper plays cannot be posted due to copyright/union issues. They jammed during these more to come bumpers.
@@johnsjohnson448 There were two road trips back to NY after the permanent move. The first was for three weeks in November 1972. The second and last time was in May 1973. After that, Studio 6-B at 30 Rock was taken over by the news department and consequently they couldn't use the old studio there any longer for a road trip and I think that was why Johnny stopped doing the road trips since it would have meant not operating from familiar territory.
Yeah, it's fun to see the commercials. I was 5 when this was filmed. Never saw Cybill Shepperd that young I recognized her face but couldn't put a name to her. Then I remembered her in Moonlighting from the 80's!
@@johnking5174 Those that had the giant satellite dishes during that era could watch the unedited feed of the show. Buddy Hackett used to break out the dirty jokes that couldn't be aired during the show during commercials and they would air on the feed. Johnny would get a few jokes in as well. As soon as it got out that folks could watch the feed, they scrambled it.
I can’t get over that he used to do 90 minute shows every night. Nobody would be crazy enough to that today. Because there’s nobody worth staying tuned in for that long.
Excellent copy, from more than 50 years ago. Whether an original, or a restoration, it is better than what most of us saw on our PICTURE TUBES of the era.
Great nostalgia here. Wife and I were married in June 1973, and our first Christmas we put colorful GE Cool Ice bulbs on our tree, and used GE flash cubes in our camera to take our Christmas photos.
Jon Collins, you said those were good old days and we didn’t realize it. Maybe in the future we’ll say these days were the good old days. Can you imagine how bad those days in the future will be?
That shag carpeting puts this show squarely in the 1970s. This set though was used for Carson's regular California visits at least back to 1966, where it appeared on a Bob Hope show called "Murder at NBC".
Heavy fashion look is seen here in 1972 as it started in late 1970 and would last to april 1978. The TONIGHT SHOW is a good indicator of it: WIDE LAPELS,LONGER HAIR,WIDE NECKTIES,BIGGER SHIRT COLLARS (to accent the ties)
@@m42037 KEN this is JOHN you are right about even today of guys with LONG HAIR STYLES but I only mention the TV SERIES from the 70s when all of a sudden with all the new shows or new seasons was by SEPTEMBER 71 it seems every MALE ACTOR:PETER GRAVES,PETER LUPUS,MANNIX (I,M using the charactor name),JACK LORD,BOB CONRAD (who SEEMED to have started the fad back in 1968/69),JOHNNY CARSON,MIKE LANDON and quite a few more went with that FULLER HEAVIER LOOK as well as the MENS FASHIONS!! I guess the stylist got together and said:HEY IT,S TIME FOR A CHANGE and then it all abruptly ended around 1978 as I mainly refer to THOSE TV ACTOR TYPES! THANK YOU KEN**********
@@johncasciello4123 What was different about the 70s compared to today is you could wear anything and ANYTHING and get away with it, where today the styles are very limited and at most bland like all the SUVs you see today that 80% all look exactly the same just different colours. Boring. I think a lot of the greatest music was in the 70s. Today music in most sucks also.
If only modern late night shows are as relaxing as this regardless if it's in English or not (not a native English speaker) but this is so akin to modern podcasts but the way they talked were more intelligent than now.
Ed Sullivan was as iconic as Johnny Carson (of course in a different way and for different reasons). But Sunday night was the entire family in the den watching Ed. And there might be something that I'd hate, but Mom and Dad would love, but I knew coming along shortly would be something I loved and they would tolerate it!
. .the higher priced model had a built - in flash also( no need to buy the pop - on flashcubes - needed for the lower - priced model ) ...forgot to add that ..😁✌️🤗
Oh, my God this brings back pleasant memories of how great Carson was and how good his guests were. We live in a poverty-stricken wasteland nowadays with lame "hosts" like Jimmy Fallon, who is completely undeserving of being a successor to Johnny Carson.
@@EdKazO-Vision I'm Old? Maybe, maybe not, but I still contend that Fallon is a weak place-holder for Johnny Carson. It's widely acknowledged that Carson was the gold standard for late-night television. This judgment cuts across all generations.
@@EdKazO-Vision Ah, but 19th century author Washington Irving was correct, when he wrote that "CHANGE is far more often a devouring conflagration, eliminating what is good, than it is a shining beacon of improvement and progress." Just take a look around.
@@frisco21 Johnny was good, but Steve Allen was a better combination of utter zaniness on the one hand, with a deep and insightful intellect on the other hand. Johnny was much more moderate and low key....he had neither of those extremes that Steve Allen had. But that might be why Johnny lasted so long on the show, while Steve Allen and Jack Paar were both promoted from the small ''late night'' audience to do weekly hour shows in prime time
OMG, yes I remeber the night that you did the Tiny Tim and Miss Vicky Wedding. We were watching as well as everybody else was. NOBODY WANTED TO MISS THAT.
The 70s was a decade everyone makes fun of but in fact that was a decade you could wear anything without being ridiculed to death. Today style is predominantly bland, marginal in selection
I was interested in buying the book, but now that I know how sloppily inaccurate it can be, it would be a waste of time. I'm disappointed and angered by hypocritical authors who are more interested in maximizing profits than edifying the public.
Thank you for good clear audio that I can actually hear! More of these please. Good bedtime calming down material. Current late night TV is not relaxing nor intelligent. Oh how I miss Johnny. Thanks again and keep em comin'. I dislike commercials but love The Tonight Show.
I always look forward to Bruce stern playing the greatest villains of the old great westerns that I grew up watching as a kid. Shows such as Gunsmoke, bonanza, the big Valley and so many others were you played a really evil character and played it very very well. I’m happy because he still with us in the year 2022 at the ripe old age of 86 and in fairly good health. Thanks for all the entertainment you’ve provided through the years Bruce.
If only Johnny had the internet then. Quick search revealed that "longjohns" are named after a 19th century boxer named John L. Sullivan who wore long tights as opposed to traditional shorts in his bouts,
Man, that bunk writer got a well deserved raking over the coals. I’m actually impressed that he had the courage to show up for the interview. That was a very rare chance for the stars to push back on misinformation.
In the first seconds, I wonder what Ed meant by his mention of "spritzer." Something for his throat or something, I think... to make his opening announcement sound as good as possible.
Wow, what an ending with Bruce Dern, James Garner and Johnny beating up this author who wrote a book about The Tonight Show. He does seem overly full of hubris and arrogant pompous bravado.
I think it's hilarious that Johnny was so creased about being portrayed as 1) Making a lot of money and 2) Being abrupt when someone he's close to leaves the show and 3) Having an issue with drinking. He would eventually be renowned for all three things.

This still brings up a flood of memories and a different era, a different time, a moment and a memory I wish I could go back to. Thank you for the upload ❤️
@@douglaslowe5 I think it was 99% down to NBC and not Lorne in that decision. They were dying to attract the younger audiences, and NBC executives seem to not understand that anyone under the age of 35 rarely watch the Tonight Show at 11.35pm every weeknight. They watch clips online. It is the over 35s who watch more linear TV
12:32 & 17:52 Johnny mentions Framingham, Massachusetts. 18:26 Casey Kasem does a very mellow voice-over for Sunbeam. 59:45 This is Pat Henderson. She is lip-syncing to Valerie Simpson's voice.
Much higher quality production in comparison to show in NY. Just watching this June 2024 and could be duped into believing made post-2000 if did not know otherwise.
Watching Johnny interview the author was like I was in a courtroom, and a person was being grilled by an attorney. He really did hate that author's work.
They never put a camera UP ABOVE THE CURTAINS (the rafters) and as JOHNNY comes out from the curtains and walks forward (to the front of the audience) a camera can at least show that AUDIENCE applauding and give the home viewers a better showing of what CARSON is seeing in front of himself:THE AUDIENCE!!!! One TONIGHT SHOW out of a hundred might show the audience if JOHNNY goes out to them or if DON RICKLES approaches them!
Pity that the audio is 'squelchy' - you can barely hear the argument that Johnny was having with Ed or Fred:( They do this in an attempt to eliminate background noise, but they also eliminate a lot of the dialog :(
Edward Leo Peter Ed McMahon, Jr. (Detroit, 6 de marzo de 1923 - Los Ángeles, 23 de junio de 2009) fue un comediante, presentador de programas de juegos, y locutor estadounidense. Fue famoso por su trabajo en la televisión como compañero de Johnny Carson (1925-2005) y locutor del programa The Tonight Show (entre 1962 y 1992). También presentó la versión original del show Star Search entre 1983 y 1995. Fue copresentador de TV’s Bloopers & Practical Jokes con Dick Clark entre 1982 y 1998. También presentó sorteos de la empresa de venta directa American Family Publishers (y no, como se cree comúnmente, de su principal rival Publishers Clearing House).
Wow!!! Not that I blame Johnny etc, but I'm quite surprised how he attacked the last guy. I would have thought that's a behind the scenes discussion. Also, it's very well known that Johnny took most of his money on the back end for the first 10 to 12 years. So yes, he did not get a large salary up front. The reason for that was the tax rate was so high that a large portion of Hollywood performer did that. So I don't know how honest he was about that. However, I love Jim Gardner and I love Johnny Carson so this isn't down in them
You can always tell when he was at his peak by the color of his hair. 50/50% I could see Johnny dying from all those friggin cigarettes, but didn’t expect Ed McMahon to wind up broke,with a broken neck after selling all that Budweiser and Alpo dog food. Let that be a lesson boys and girls Marry only 1 woman and just play with all the rest.💃💃💃💃💃💃🤪🎃
I found some information about the song in this commercial and they called her a Dionne Warwick lookalike. That's all the info I could find about her. Here is the link www.early70sradio.com/2014/10/two-radio-hits-brought-to-you-by.html?m=1

Amazing how many guests he had on each night in the 60'-70's. Granted, it was 90 minutes back then.
Almost 50 years ago and still the best. Late nights just haven't been the same since Johnny retired. Sigh.
All dreadful.😥
Then he had to audacity to die !
Brings back good memories, use to stay up each night to watch Johnny. Classic!
*Used to
Thank you for posting this.......I wish I could go back to this time . If anyone can take me back , I will behave , I promise.....
A wonderful time to be a innocent kid.
R&B,Top 40,Rock Music was the best ever.
That was before Rockford Files, James Garner didn't know what a classic that's gonna be.

This was during "they only kill their masters"
No one then and especially now comes close to Mr Carson. Period!
100% True.
Props to the audio engineers. It was very forward thinking to record the band in stereo. No one at the time could hear it as such.
I think it's replacement music for the DVD. The show wasn't in stereo until around 1980.
James Garner just before one of my favorite shows as a child The Rockford Files!

They watch clips online. It is the over 35s who watch more linear TV
@Tautriadelta Well even Jimmy would agree he’s no Johnny
Wow a couple of years before the Rockford files.
12:32 & 17:52 Johnny mentions Framingham, Massachusetts.
18:26 Casey Kasem does a very mellow voice-over for Sunbeam.
59:45 This is Pat Henderson. She is lip-syncing to Valerie Simpson's voice.
Much higher quality production in comparison to show in NY. Just watching this June 2024 and could be duped into believing made post-2000 if did not know otherwise.
Watching Johnny interview the author was like I was in a courtroom, and a person was being grilled by an attorney. He really did hate that author's work.
Casey Kasem voice over on the Sunbeam tangle-free comb spot.
Exactly 51 years ago 🙂
Why didn't the writer of the book talk to the people who were being written about , instead of hangers on?
Because Carson obviously refused to talk to him before, as he made clear in his last remark "thanks for finally talking to me."
@@KidMillions Carson was only one of the people.
They never put a camera UP ABOVE THE CURTAINS (the rafters) and as JOHNNY comes out from the curtains and walks forward (to the front of the audience) a camera can at least show that AUDIENCE applauding and give the home viewers a better showing of what CARSON is seeing in front of himself:THE AUDIENCE!!!! One TONIGHT SHOW out of a hundred might show the audience if JOHNNY goes out to them or if DON RICKLES approaches them!
Audience shots were not a normal thing on this show. Much like a concealed microphone boom.
Pity that the audio is 'squelchy' - you can barely hear the argument that Johnny was having with Ed or Fred:( They do this in an attempt to eliminate background noise, but they also eliminate a lot of the dialog :(
Edward Leo Peter Ed McMahon, Jr. (Detroit, 6 de marzo de 1923 - Los Ángeles, 23 de junio de 2009) fue un comediante, presentador de programas de juegos, y locutor estadounidense. Fue famoso por su trabajo en la televisión como compañero de Johnny Carson (1925-2005) y locutor del programa The Tonight Show (entre 1962 y 1992). También presentó la versión original del show Star Search entre 1983 y 1995. Fue copresentador de TV’s Bloopers & Practical Jokes con Dick Clark entre 1982 y 1998. También presentó sorteos de la empresa de venta directa American Family Publishers (y no, como se cree comúnmente, de su principal rival Publishers Clearing House).
he said eye-gor at first. i wonder if that's where marty feldman's character in young Frankenstein got it
Wow!!! Not that I blame Johnny etc, but I'm quite surprised how he attacked the last guy. I would have thought that's a behind the scenes discussion. Also, it's very well known that Johnny took most of his money on the back end for the first 10 to 12 years. So yes, he did not get a large salary up front. The reason for that was the tax rate was so high that a large portion of Hollywood performer did that. So I don't know how honest he was about that. However, I love Jim Gardner and I love Johnny Carson so this isn't down in them
You can always tell when he was at his peak by the color of his hair. 50/50% I could see Johnny dying from all those friggin cigarettes, but didn’t expect Ed McMahon to wind up broke,with a broken neck after selling all that Budweiser and Alpo dog food. Let that be a lesson boys and girls Marry only 1 woman and just play with all the rest.💃💃💃💃💃💃🤪🎃
Both Ed Sullivan and Red Skelton departed CBS and went to NBC for their final "seasons." Strange. Ageism.
0:01 "You got my little spritzer?" 🍸
I love watching ancient quad videotapes.
who is the beautiful singer during the bud commercial at 59:45?
I found some information about the song in this commercial and they called her a Dionne Warwick lookalike. That's all the info I could find about her. Here is the link www.early70sradio.com/2014/10/two-radio-hits-brought-to-you-by.html?m=1
The black lady is lip singing, the real singer is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_November Not sure who the black chick is though, prolly just an unknown actress . czcams.com/video/qwA7_aawH5E/video.html
The singer is Pat Henderson. She is lip-syncing to Valerie Simpson's voice.
1:14:47 The only time you see Johnny truly pissed off on air.
Hockey team in St. Petersburg?? How funny. Oh wait....
