Members quartermainefan Posted August 13, 2015 Members Share Posted August 13, 2015 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/johnny-carson-hosted-tonight-show-814796 I am very excited about this. For one it means great and dated interviews with long dead stars who are and were very cool. It also mean outright hilarity from comics like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield.

Members Khan Posted August 13, 2015 Members Share Posted August 13, 2015 So, wait, this will be full episodes and NOT "Carson's Comedy Classics"? Oh, HELL yes! I am so investing in a digital antenna now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted August 13, 2015 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yes, full hourly episodes on weekdays and full 90 min early 70s episodes on weekends. That was the best talk show because all the guests stuck around to mingle with each other. The classic example is when Oliver Reed and Shelly Winters seemed to get into a fight right on stage.

Members ~bl~ Posted August 17, 2015 Members Share Posted August 17, 2015 What time frames do they have of the show? I read that not everything was kept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BingCherry Posted August 17, 2015 Members Share Posted August 17, 2015 Very little of the NYC years or the first year in Burbank (1962-mid 1973) still exist and what does is almost entirely kinescope. Mid-1973 thru 1992 is said to be mostly intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted August 17, 2015 Members Share Posted August 17, 2015 As someone who is currently reading Bill Carter's book, The War For Late Night (focusing on the Leno/Conan debacle, but it covers all aspects of late-night history), I love this idea of the new generation of late-night hosts kinda sorta competing with Carson all over again.
