  • A special message from the founder of Jean Hansen's Experience:
    Here at JHE, we strive to bring you videos that serve to preserve American Entertainment History. JHE presents these videos in a way that provides historical perspective as well as educates the viewer with video commentary on the subject being presented.
    While you may have seen portions of these videos in assorted qualities on CZcams or elsewhere, there are those, who think because they have a COPY of a video that they own the copyright to said video. And whether due to ignorance to the use of intellectual property, personal pride or jealousy, choose to report the video to CZcams for infringement.
    For those that choose this route, I suggest that they keep in mind and ask themselves the following before doing so:
    Is the video you are reporting 'transformative', meaning does it alter the original work either quantitatively or qualitatively?
    If the answer is Yes, the video is being used within 'Fair Use' and even if a use does not necessarily alter the original in substance, if it does something to add a new meaning or message to it, it is still likely to be considered 'transformative'.
    In closing, reporting a video opens a legal proceeding and should not be done recklessly or without careful consideration. It can also mean suspension or termination of an account for those that abuse this feature, so tread carefully.
    With that said, on with the show!!!

    Judy Garland on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
    Taped and Aired: December 17, 1968
    The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson was taped at NBC-TV in Rockefeller Center, New York City on 17 December 1968 1968.
    Judy was introduced by Johnny Carson who simply said, "Ladies and Gentleman, what can you say the great Judy Garland" and entered to rapturous applause from the studio audience.
    Judy then sang John Mayer's new composition, 'It's All for You'.
    She was then whisked to the interview chair where she bantered with Johnny and Tonight Show announcer/sidekick Ed McMahon about sugar plums and Judy's favorite singers.
    Judy also mentioned her next engagement at 'Talk of the Town', in London, which she mistakenly announced as 'The Town and Country, a venue Judy played in 1958.
    Following a commercial break, Judy talked about her days with the Gumm Sisters and Vaudeville and closed her appearance singing another new John Mayer song, 'Til After the Holidays', while sitting in her interview chair.
    This appearance marked the last time Judy would appear on The Tonight Show and remains the last full length appearance available to fans on video.
    Complete audio of Judy's two appearances on Merv Griffin from December 1968 are available, but only video clips filmed from TV screens are known to exist.
    Merry Christmas from JHE and stay tuned in 2016 for new videos.

    Judy Garland was pure magic. So bright, so witty- the perfect amount of devilish sparkle and child like innocence combined. They say no one phrased like Sinatra, well no one interpreted music like Garland. She almost electrically transmitted it through every cell in her body. Never before and certainly never since- a one of a kind talent that flew through our sky like a meteor.

    How could anyone not love her?. I was a teen when she passed so I don't remember her going, (teens in their own little world) . I wish I had appreciated her more while she was alive. Thank God we have film of her, so future generations can see her.

    Miss Garland may you still be singing with your lovely voice in Heaven.
    Sad that at the time of this show airing to think that in just 6 months she would be deceased.
    RIP my Dear Lady...

    Six months before she died and she was in strong voice and had the Garland magic. So many said her finally years that she was her worst and that she was washed up. She was on her game and very delightful here. RIP Judy

      She worked quite a few times during that period when, by rights, she should have been on extended sick leave, but you're quite right, Saxon C: there were still some fine performances, and this one is very moving. Around the same time she appeared at the Harold Arlen tribute in New York, and THAT performance, thank Heaven, has been preserved; it was nothing short of a miracle, and included a new reading of her song from "A Star is Born", "It's a New World", which was every bit as good as the original.

    I actually prefer her later voice. The clear and pure beauty was no longer there, but, oh, the character in her mature voice and her interpretation skills.

    • @LaptopLarry330

      I believe that NBC asked the advertisers if these commercials featuring Bert Lahr (who had died in 1967) and Margaret Hamilton could be aired during this broadcast of "The Tonight Show". 1968 was a very bad year for America, and Judy Garland was booked by NBC, most likely, as a badly-needed "spirit-lifter" for the American people. The commercials requested and approved by the advertisers, were aired to help provide a "feel-good" feeling among viewers, or to evoke good memories of actors associated with Judy Garland.

    • @akrenwinkle
      @akrenwinkle Před 5 lety +3

      @@LaptopLarry330 I assume by "very bad year" you mean the assassinations of MLK and Robert Kennedy, and the election of Nixon. That's quite a stretch, Stretch. The notion that nostalgic commercials by wonderful Hamilton and Lahr, and a Judy obviously on the way out, could remotely be uplifting to anyone's spirit... not that anyone would make such a connection to begin with.

  • @DANBOLLENBACHER

    Amazing to see this. She was one of a kind. I was only 5 years old when this aired. Didn't know anything about The Tonight Show, but I definitely knew who Judy was (albeit as Dorothy and Betsy Booth). I also loved the commercials. Interesting that one had Bert Larr, and another had Margaret Hamilton.

    I never heard that After the Holidays song. What a poignant song and (of course) beautifully sung by Judy.

    • @LaptopLarry330
      @LaptopLarry330 Před 5 lety +3

      It was Christmas Time, 1968. It was a very bad year in America. NBC felt that the American people needed a "spirit-lifter" at this time. This was, most likely, the reason NBC booked Judy Garland to appear on "The Tonight Show", and they made arrangements with the advertisers to provide some commercials that they associated with Judy Garland's past, that made people "feel good", or brought back good memories, when they were badly needed.

    more Judy, and MORE (COOL!) adverts!
    I detect a theme. The first spot (Lay's potato chips) stars ...the Cowardly Lion, aka the wonderful Bert Lahr (5:15). The lovely young woman in buying coffee from (aNOTHER Judy Garland connection): Margaret Hamilton (aka 'The Wicked Witch', in The one and ONLY Wizard of Oz) is Ms Sharon Spellman. She (was. I know she's alive, I just think she's retired) a lovely character actress - this is a REALLY early sighting of her. She's in 3 different episodes of The Rockford Files (I LOVE the series); • Profit and Loss (1series, episode's 11 & 12) • The Reincarnation of Angie (2nd series, No.12), and in the 5th year, The Deuce.
    A wonderful - and RARE - NBC Peacock 'gag' (15:15). I NEVER saw this - or anything BUT the standard Peacock, until NBC brought it back, and for a time, they had a bunch of artists make their own (COOL) peacocks. The one I remember best is the John Kricfalusi (Ren & Stimpy) one.

    I think Judy would have preferred the bottle of NyQuil instead of the sugar plums.
