The history is well known: John and Paul guested on The Tonight Show while in New York City to promote their new self-managed enterprise, Apple. Unfortunately, that night Joe Garagiola was guest-hosting for Johnny Carson, and, unbelievably, his first guest was long-faded actress but now just known-for-being-known Tallulah Bankhead.
Both John and Paul were disgusted and embarrassed with the appearance, as Joe presented them with the most inane questions they'd been asked over a thousand times before, questions more suited for, say, 1964, but not at this stage of their musical development. And Tallulah was clueless. It was a wasted opportunity.
NBC subsequently erased the show, using the videotape for a future Tonight Show episode, thus leaving its preservation in the hands of fans who had recorded it on their reel-to-reels. One fan in particular captured snippets of John and Paul's appearance on his family's 8mm movie camera.
Those moving images have been circulating for years; it's since been made available on other KZfaq channels. But the complete audio hasn't. Though I'm finding that it reportedly once was but the channel that had put it up was taken down. I'm uncertain whether it was specifically because of the audio or instead of other uploads on that channel.
On the late evening of May 14, 1968, I, then towards the end of my high school junior year, was among countless fans who had attached alligator clips to their home tv speakers and connected it to their reel-to-reels. I recorded John and Paul's entire appearance, save a few seconds turning the tape over while Bankhead was making yet another inebriated and incoherent point.
In July 1981 I dubbed the original 1968 reel-to-reel appearance onto a new tape, and I've used that new tape for this upload. Now, 43 years later, what I've done here is attach the scant home-movie footage to the audio, syncing it as best I could. I've left the audio as is, with its occasional flaws and all. We'll soon see if this survives on the channel.
By the end of May 1968, all four Beatles, now back in London, would begin recording tracks for the White Album.
Tallulah Bankhead would die seven months later of double pneumonia.
Paul wouldn't guest on The Tonight Show for another sixteen years when he came on to promote his film "Give My Regards to Broadstreet." This time Johnny was there for the chat. Carson Entertainment Group has made it available on its channel.
Note: There have been a number of comments suspecting that the reason Johnny wasn’t hosting that night was his dislike for the generation of music that The Beatles had inspired. As Joe explained when asked where Johnny was, Carson was on one of his Stand-Up tours and was that night performing in Gaithersburg, Md. It was a touring schedule made long before the John/Paul booking. Joe had been guest-hosting that entire week of May 13-16.
So while there may be some merit to Johnny’s attitudes about the music, that was not the reason why he wasn’t there that night, nor, indeed, that entire week.

Also, what a double pity Johnny wasn't available to give the lads the interview they well deserved😢 Regardless of its less-than-stellar quality, I'm thankful, Don, that you had the foresight to record the audio of this historic interview and, later, save it for posterity!

This is such an amazing historical record. Thank you for cobbling it together. It’s a tremendous insight into the abysmal kind of interviews the Beatles had to put up with over the years and you can tell by this time, they are well over it. You can still hear the condescension in Garagiola (and others from his generation) had for these “kids”. Yet, they were forced to deal with it in a public forum. It was a change of the guard at this point in time and along with the film industry (think “Bullet” ) the beginning of a new vanguard of art/entertainment. We get a sense of what the Beatles, as human beings, went through and how it must have impacted them. On the spot in front of 5 million viewers!

This is wonderful and I'm so glad you bothered to rig up a taping as it happened and then 55 years into the future propped it up for thousands of current Beatle fans to see and hear it as it was taped over by NBC. But I've got an axe to grind about your introduction which gives a thorough account of your process but sadly misleads on a main character. Tallulah Bankhead wasn't "long faded" but was concurrently playing on Broadway at the time of this broadcast. Ms Bankhead was clearly a little tanked but hardly clueless. She held her wit and as a 66 year old would do then; as now, brought up the youth in her personal life and how they were experiencing the Beatles because they were such a complete presence after JFK. She was communicating her personal experience with the phenomenon. McCartney and Lennon seemed like a complete break from the past yet they referenced it continually as they were both heavily influenced by the music of Bankhead's era. She was NOT "known for being known" as people get propped up today. She was a highly respected theater actress of stages all over the world who had done some film and was very well beloved for a radio show that was WAY ahead of its time because it was far more honest than most with counter cultural in-jokes. She demanded a fairly sophisticated ear for the time or at least an ear that wanted to hear more than the crap that was pummeled to people (not unlike now.) She would die just a few months later of pneumonia because of heavy alcoholism and pill taking due to being in a world of homophobic nit wits. She was a force to be reckoned with but not a celebrity for no reason. That's absurd and I'm not sure where anyone would come to that conclusion. That may have simply been your impression as a teenager but it wasn't the case. The reason she was also behind the desk was because her wit was notorious and her interest in the counterculture started long before there was such a word. She'd been a long time ally of Bohemia. Joe was the jocular jock that wouldn't intimidate anyone but was good with sports stories so he's way out of his league here and they all sense it. Tallulah saves the day by keeping it respectful and they were both doing what a lot of older people were doing with the Beatles: giving it all legitimacy to stay relevant. I'm sure in a lot of producers' minds, pairing a chatty baseball hero with teenage music heroes would have been a magic combination but the Tonight Show was inordinately square about what was going on around them and felt they had to be square to appeal to the sanctity of mid-west conservative sensibilities. Johnny wouldn't have flown in for this and his love of Jazz had to also do with being brought up in the 40s. He never brought on particularly outre jazz musicians, either. But he did love music and funny people. He probably wouldn't have done as well with them either. Their wit was in a class of honesty that was above everyone else which is why it was so particularly radical and breathtaking...not unlike Tallulah's during her own shows. In many ways, she was the John Lennon of the stage and of radio and while not the idle of bobby -soxers, even some teenagers liked her. Outside of that, thank you endlessly for coming up with this.

@dongiller Ай бұрын

Fair points, all. Except for the notion that she “saved” anything. A more common and appropriate behavior would have been to shut the hell up after her own guest segments, and allow the next guest (or guests) to be the focus during their own segments. Instead, she continued to interject herself, constantly interrupting with wholly irrelevant asides about her own life experiences. Wholly inappropriate. Joe couldn’t get any sort of flow going with John and Paul with Bankhead’s injections. So for that I’ll stand by my description.

@dahliafully Ай бұрын

@@dongiller Except she was behind the desk with Joe and co-hosting and not on the down end of the couch. So she was expected to interject. They did this when they'd have a main and co-host. She was there to spice up Joe's pal-o-mine banter. Unfortunately, she was too tanked to do it without much awkwardness. M&L were probably fairly stoned too. I didn't find it irrelevant but wholly relevant to putting them into context or insisting that she found them to be serious, which for her generation was validating them. Most 40 somethings let alone 60 somethings wouldn't have done that then and saw them as a annoying flash in the pan for teenyboppers that wouldn't go away. Regardless, I'm really thankful you were able to document the thing and have enjoyed watching it twice. And I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

No, she was _not_ co-hosting, regardless where she sat. She was just another guest on the show who was the first to appear.

@dahliafully Ай бұрын

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree on this. In the early days of the Tonight Show they sometimes had brief co-hosts behind the desk to co-interview and add to the discussion. If she was another guest, she would have been seated on the sofa. She was invited there to add to the conversation. So she wasn't interrupting. But she was a bit hammered. Mike Douglas did the co-host thing for a week. The tonight show might use a co-host for one night and then it became clear to just use Johnny with Ed as the announcer/sidekick.

Let's face it, Johnny would have asked fluff, obvious questions as well (all you have to do is watch the McCartney appearance with him years later to confirm this), but it couldn't have possibly been this awkward. If you watch the McCartney interview with Johnny in 1984, Paul is very flippant and disengaged, with really short answers. I wonder if he was still ticked off about 1968.

An observation: Johnny Carson not being there was most likely a snubb to John & Paul here. It's well known that Mr Carson didn't like The Beatles or any other revloutionary bands of the 60s that completely changed the musical landscape. Johnny Carson was a Sinatra fan/jazz man and resented the Beatles knocking the great Sinatra and many others from the 40s/50s off their musical pedestals. Fast forward to 1984 and observe the icy interview between Johnny Carson and Paul McCartney. He knew he couldn't avoid the Beatles popualrity, even in 1984, and Paul tries to give Johnny a hard time in this interview.

John's smile at Paul because he knows Paul's anxious and stressed is so sweet. Paul says, "It's very hectic, New York," then the interviewer asks, "what's so different about new York?" And Paul responds with sound affects. He's the type of neurodivergent that gets overstimulated and doesn't know how to use words and it's adorable.

It's kind of incredible that the Beatles, from Epstein's death in 1967 to their dissolution in 1970, had no management. They had accountants, lawyers, and a press agent but no management. They would be micro managed today, and far richer than they were in the 1960s.

Johnny should have come back from holiday for just that one day for this. Carson should have been doing this. It would have been mindblowing!

He wasn’t “on holiday,” please read the description, in particular the Note at the end.

When Johnny Carson was 90 minutes long beng the second guest really wasn't a slight. The pace was a lot different...

The featured guest was usually the last of the night, only to keep the viewers.

John and Paul at such a pivotal time in rock history. They were making the Beatles Again/ White Album, music that tirnthe world of music upside down.. and we only see this, no Johnny, no color ,

“The Beatles Again” was an Allen Klein concoction, released in February 1970. No Beatles involvement at all.

Can't believe they had this show without Johnny Carson being there. This was a bit cringy.

I wonder why they hooked up J an P with Joe G? He was a sports announcer--this wasn't particularly his thing.

Horrible interview. Johnny would have been so much cooler. But thanks for saving what you did!!🎶💚👍

@noscrubbubblez6515 Ай бұрын

They were bilging money and instead of paying it as taxes they decided to branch out into shops, movies, and individual artists. It was well meaning, except they couldn't hassle the shop part. Very revealing when John asked if this was 'in color'. It was about mid way into the years where color TV was common.

This must hav been when the show was still in New York. I think that Johnny moved it out to L.A. not long after this.

Yet another interview where John dominates the conversation and Paul is diffident and barely coherent, but for some reason the interviewer insists on claiming that Paul is somehow the spokesman for the group. He still carries that label around his neck to this day and yet I have yet to witness him performing that function, at least not at the time.

@dongiller Ай бұрын

I’d suggest the opposite, that it was Paul who spoke more than John. Haven’t timed it, though.

It’s a crying shame that they had to be on with Joe Garagiola….! Who did probably the worst interview that anyone could possibly do with these two men?.. he knew absolutely nothing about them and instead of inquiring about things he was just plain stupid. if Carson was there, this would’ve been a good interview. If anyone else was there besides this clown, Joe Garagiola it would’ve been a great interview… I remember seeing this and was gravely disappointing that this was done on Carson’s day off…! And I also find it really amazing that they don’t have footage good footage of this incredible time when they had just started Apple Corps.
