Love all these old Johnny Carson Tonight Show episodes. Don’t know where you’re finding them, but please keep them coming. 🤓👍🏻

True, these are outstanding. I think Johnny was at his peak in the 70s. What a great entertainer.

An ultra rare ‘72 episode of The Tonight Show, complete with a “Carnac” segment! You can’t beat it!

It was a major feat to put on a 1 1/2 hr show every single night. People who guest-hosted said it was the most exhausting, grueling thing they ever did - 16-hr days 5 days a week. And yet it was always fresh, lively, entertaining.

Thanks for this episode!! We are pretty lucky so many complete early 70s episodes have popped up in the last few years. What I find fascinating is that the Tonight Show set in New York seems really tiny compared to the Burbank studio.

Finding New York episodes in great quality (and this looks like videotape rather than kinescope) are major finds. NBC wiped its copies of the shows from 1962-72. When Carson took over ownership of the show (Carson Productions), he received a copy of every episode that are stored in the underground warehouses. Supposedly, Armed Forces Network has 16mm kinescopes of shows from the 60s-70s. That's where the famous appearance by Bob Hope, Dean Martin and George Gobel was found.

Rex fancied himself hip, and 1776 was sort of old fashioned.

@akrenwinkle 12 күн бұрын

@@johndalton3180 Rex is 85 now and I became a big fan of his in 1974 when he wrote a scathing review of Frank Sinatra's Madison Square Garden broadcast called "The Main Event." No one else dared to say, much less write, what they were really thinking about Frank: that he was overweight, sloppily dressed, hoarse from smoking, and possibly drunk. Rex even trashed Frank's ecstatic audience. Frank responded by dissing Rex for being- gasp!- gay. Jerry Lewis issued a long, typed letter- it's probably still up here on YT- that didn't exactly refute what Rex wrote, but listed Frank's many charitable deeds.

Carnac bombed often. I think that was part of the fun, and I suspect they wrote a lot of comically terrible jokes deliberately for him. That way Carnac could offer the audience one of his timeless curses. "May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits." His curses were always the best part.

After the show moved to Burbank, from time to time, Johnny and the gang would go back to NY and do the show from there, for a week or two. This is one of those times. The guests and Johnny even mention this.
