Wow. This is amazing. 50 years ago it was a "known fact" that ALL the episodes from the New York years were lost except for a few clips. Its too bad Johnny isn't around to experience the revelations popping up on UA-cam. This is fantastic. Thanks for posting.
most .. not all pre 1972 shows were destroyed. There are approximately 35 complete shows from 1963 to 1971 known to exist.
Yes! Thanks for posting!
That band sounds fantastic. Unlike the Los Angeles sound, I could hear every instrument. Tommy Newsom's arrangements were always top notch.
@@jayemel1 More will pop up as some of the younger guests are now passing away. It'll be like the 1960? World Series game that Mazerowski won. It was discovered among Bing Crosby's belongings.
@@jayemel1Where can we find them?
The most revelations have come from reading the Bushkin book from 2014, and most of what you hear and see on YT are out of that book. And however gritty and exaggerated these revelations may be, I think the person who would care the least at this point is Mr. Carson, who never seemed to want to enshrine himself in any way.
I love the old New York episodes. Over time, I hope more complete episodes are found. The show was more raw back in those days. More unpredictable. A time capsule of our country in 1970.
I hail from 1977, so this is only slightly before my time, but seeing this today in 2024 I'm amazed by two things: how different things are (plastic trash bags were being advertised as the hot new thing!?) but also how much the same everything is.
They have the complete ones. You see what they can post due to copyright and music copyright laws.
The year I was born. It seems like ages ago.
@@scottmoore1614 Ditto
(PS: It was !)
That theme song always reminds me of being a child insomniac. I'd be laying up in bed trying so hard to fall asleep, and when I'd hear this song coming from the TV downstairs, where mom and dad were watching, I'd absolutely panic, counting in my head the number of hours till i had to wake up for school. I'm talking 10 and 11 years old. Here I am 50 years later, up way too late, worrying about getting up for work tomorrow...
I know this feeling, except it was Sunday night and the theme to Trapper John MD for me.
These New York episodes are rare. Thanks for posting.
2024. 54 years ago! Carson would go on for another 22 years! Never be another Carson.
I can feel the heat from the old 25” tv console and its tubes, glowing warm in the summer evening heat, with our window unit a/c blasting away in the background, while my dad reclines with his cigarettes wafting smoke throughout the house, and mom is falling asleep next to the window with the fabric curtains on the left, and the macrame ceiling hung owl planter set on the right, in between the two of them. Good days!
I’ve always wondered how many American men sat at their chair smoking cigarettes, cigars or drinking a night cap or two just to go to bed and sleep a few hours for work the next day. Unless it was a Friday for the average 40 hour work week man.
@@gm12551 my dad was one of them. Newspaper in hand, barely awake, puffing on that last cigarette before bedtime and getting back up at 4:30 am to do it all over again.
@@gm12551 My father was of the Greatest Generation, My Pop drank every evening, a scotch whisky in one hand and a Camel cigarette in the other. I can't think of any of my friend's fathers who didn't smoke and drink back in the 50s to the 70s.
Look how young Carson looked. At this point he had only been doing the show for less then 10 years. Still in new york.
He should have stopped SMOKING RIGHT then and there.
Lots of hair dye
Less than *8* , actually.
@@yankeechicken61 And the combover in its nascent stage ; both front corner pockets now receded
Johnny was maybe 45
I love this. Mr. Carson's "Tonight" show's format barely changed over his thirty-year reign. Epic! Thanks for sharing.
It’s cool to hear Elvis mentioned, he lived another 7 years past this episode.
Great to see the commercials too.
I was two years old and all I knew then about the show was when I heard the band play the them I was up past my bedtime. As I got older, I got grow up with the show and loved it. Thanks for posting it because this is a new first for me. Buddy is a favorite of mine.
Dr. Erlich is still alive, just turned 92.
He sure nailed it. Way ahead of his time.
Meanwhile, Dr Ben Wattenberg turned into a RW crank.
@@billarmstrong6540 - Well, he did predict in 1970 that all important animal life in the seas would be extinct by 1980. He missed that by a little bit. I'll also add that the birth rates have declined over time, not increased as Dr Ehrlich predicted. He's missed quite a bit.
He was a fraud
@@tonymach lol history has proven different.
The jokes about Central Park being dangerous were a regular thing during the New York years.
By the way this show being filmed in New York at that time period was filmed in Studio 6B in Rockefeller center at NBC which is now home to The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon
What a shame
They didnt FILM it at all. It was TAPED
Much more interesting show than today. More variety of discussion
It made one forget the Vietnam war for a bit.I remember watching this back then.I was a Sophomore in H.S. It was a good time in a bad time.
I bet Carson didn't care for the early walk out by Hackett
I suspect that the affiliates were probably showing local commercials during the musical interludes and the silent spots we see here.
hearing johnny and buddy talk about the sahara hotel in las vegas brings back fond memories. our family would vacation there most summers in the mid 60 to early 70s,and we stayed at the sahara. i was never old enough to see a show there,but the atmosphere was very cool. nothing like the las vegas of today.
So glad that not all videotapes from this era were wiped. The fifty plus year old commercials are entertaining also. Looks like Johnny is dying his hair?
Definitely
That was my first thought, too. Doesn't look natural.
I subscribed to your channel primarily because of all the Johnny Carson Tonight Show clips you have uploaded. Good stuff thanks for posting them all!! 🎉😮❤
I have never seen this! I have heard of Johnny Carson. This show is 8 years older than my parents! My grandparents were 22, and my great grandparents ( still with me I am happy to say, were 45!
I was 5 years old in 1970. I think it’s cool they briefly mentioned Elvis Presley who at the time was performing Vegas and wouldn’t die for 7 more years!!
This is an amazing print! Thanks!
Print? Explain
@@rty1955 Print is another word for copy and refers to the quality of video/film being shown. This particular video - given its age - is of amazing quality.
Thank you❤ I want Johnny's tie 😮😊
Patient...it will come around in next fashion/ color cycle👍
Doc S is still around too
I remember hearing this theme music from the living room as a kid and feeling like I was missing out on something great...and I was right!
This is incredible. Thanks so much. I hope someone, somewhere, has the episode from July 16th of 1970 with William Windom.
Hackett was VP of the Sahara! He was CONNECTED, maybe even made. I read a story about young Jerry Lewis losing 300K in the 1950s in Las Vegas and having to play 9 months to pay it off.
He's the keeper of the keys!
He puts your mind at ease!
He's guaranteed to please!
Back by popular demand!
Keep up the good work on finding old episodes of Johnny!!!
Long live the king!
Wow. I was 30 days old when this aired.
Jimi Hendrix's days were numbered, about 35 of them left here.
This welocme discovery proves that not all of the lost NYC episodes are gems! Too much Buddy Hackett and a dry cultural debate are less than scintillating. Still, a valuable document...
I love the NY episodes from before this too, when Skitch Henderson led the band. Ed and Skitch had to do the first 10 -15 minutes without Johnny because the show was aired live then, and Johnny didn’t want to come out on stage for his monologue until all the newscasts in the country had ended. Those episodes are showing up on UA-cam now too.
I wish we could see these be remastered! ❤
Also, I can't believe they couldn't say "bathroom" on TV in 1970. That's insane.
This was NOT from the original video tape. This is an aircheck tape most likely dubbed to 3/4" umatic.
I worked in video tape since its invention
Dang…Buddy Hackett is drunk AF
That's when Buddy was at his best.
And not even remotely funny
Actually that was his act. Everytime he appears on the Tonight Show , he acts like this....and Yes, he is NOT Funny in the least - in his live act he used profanity and appeared drunk. I'm pretty sure he was in the U S. Military in WWII so he can't be all bad..
I had to wear that suit to Sunday school!
Johnny must have had a hard time finding guests that night. Other than his debate with Jim Garrison about the JFK assassination a few years earlier, this seemed like the longest serious discussion I can remember. Perhaps shows like this are what led to the eventual move to Burbank. In any case, it’s fascinating to watch.
WONDERFUL MEMORIES I WAS BORN EXACTLY A YEAR LATER BUT MY BROTHER WAS ABOUT 21 DAYS OLD LOL
Paul Anka/Johnny Carson composed the opening theme music. Every time it played they each received a $400 royalty payment.
I think that Paul anka gave Johnny co-writing credit, kind of like how you got Elvis to record your song you had to give him half the royalties
I didnt know there were any full episodes from Johnny's new york years around!
Dr. Paul Erlich. Thought India would never be able to feed itself. Then, Norman Borlaug came along. Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1970.
Buddy Hackett wearing Ringo's old wig
I remember as a kid the big deal made when he moved to Ca. I was 7 when this aired.
These guys were old as dust even 54 years ago
Buddy sure does love upstaging for the joke.
Opening credits art looks like lite brite . I like it .
This is a trip - I knew the show only from the 70s when it was at the epicenter of Hollywood via Burbank - it’s so weird to see the New York show and Johnny w black hair
11:10 "Without A Song"
OMG, I was 6 months old lol
I checked a couple of statistics through Statista. I did it 1965-75. Dr. Ehrlich turned out to be wrong in that time frame.
Johnny was dyeing his hair then! I saw an episode of Get Smart called the "King Lives" from 1967 where he was already graying. I wonder if the network told him to do it to stay hip?
His hair wasn't dyed.. He was just younger.
@@MarinCipollinaNo, it was dyed. He actually did it himself. Grecian Formula!
August, 1970!.. I was only 1 year old when this show was broadcast. Wow just think, after taping the show Johnny could have gone out to the local Chrysler Dealership and ordered himself a couple brand new 1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE with a 426 Hemi. And 54 years later the cars would be worth six figures!
nice 👍
Great live commercial for Rexall Drugs !
After Steve Allen Johnny Carson was the best host NBC had for 'The Tonight Show' No other Tonight show hosts have been able to keep the comedy going since Carson retired.
Jack Paar was preferred by many.
Love nostalgia
Erlich seemed like a smug Know it all. Turns out the guy was completely wrong anyway.
Yep.
He’s so smug that he also thinks he was right even though he was proven wrong. He overwhelmed his opponent on this show because he is better at thinking off the cuff and easily understood.
10 billion humans, exponential uncapped growth of the US military (which can’t dream of completing an audit) as the world’s largest polluter, total reliance on single-person auto travel still, addiction to oil (300,000 gallons spilled in the Gulf by BP), plastic in our blood and the clouds, nearly all coral dead, hottest ocean in recorded history every year, the Arctic melting, Yosemite deforested by beetles, PFA’s in the ocean, multiple species expiring daily, total dysregulation of weather patterns, every body of water polluted, invasive species all over…but sure, ignore all that and call him smug. “Everything’s fine.”
I bet that magic marker Erlich is wielding at 1:17 smells groovy!!
A young Sandy Hackett!… the talented son has had a long and varied career on stage and film and TV, just never got that breakthrough role…
I was too young to remember "Who Do You Trust?"
It's interesting that when Johnny retired, he said he didn't have any of the tapes from the first 10 or so years, they were lost or something. But of course now we have them here. When were they found?
These are aircheck tapes dunned to 3/4" tape. This is not the original quad tapes
It's amazing all the commercials about cigarettes. It was known that cigarettes were bad for all.
Buddy Hackett knew more about the future than the population professor
ERLICH guy seems to be wearing an ALLMOST EXACT outfit as CARSONS== light yelliw shirt**brown suit**golden yellow patternd tie!!!!
I remember fans thought Johnny Carson and Tommy Smothers favored one another. They do here.
Nice to see a young Howard Stern during the population debate.
Buddy Hackett did do Frito Corn Chip commercials.
@Yester Days== Thanks==ERLICH fella is allmost matching CARSONS outfit== brown suit***light yellow shirt***patterned golden yellow tie***
I'm surprised how hot they say it was in New York City. This show is from 54 years ago. I thought it's only hot now because of global warming.
Probably got up to 75 degrees then
Holy SHITE enough already with the Bloody Buddy Hacker.....Man talk about "overkill"....!
Man its interesting to listen to these Alvin Toffler-ish guys discussing the future - FROM the Future , NOW ! Theres just no way they could have forseen how bad the world will get in 50 years....just no way.
Johnny used the joke about the worm in another episode.
Interesting how TEE VEE back in those days had such poor sound quality. NBC/RCA created the color TV system and one would have thought better quality sound equal to FM sound of the day.
The television can't be superior to the broadcast format.. Stereo television wasn't introduced until 1985 or so. Of course now we have THX certified digital Dolby THX 5.1 surround sound.
@@MarinCipollina Totally agree and was around during those days but also remember in the 1970's just how compressed that TV sound was. Since the broadcast signal 6mhz? One would have figured that the sound quality would have been better. Not to mention the original video tapes, one might have thought that those would have sounded less compressed.
This is due to much more recent processing. In an attempt to reduce 'noise', many of the lower-volume passages are squelched.
This is a tape dubbed from the original quad tape. The show was recorded during the day and played back for each of the time zones. This particular tape is a dub most likely to 3/4" video tape. I can tell by the helical head switching at the bottom of the screen and the auto levels in the audio track.
Quad tape had MUCH more fidelity and picture quality than what you see here.
It was in fact CBS who developed the NTSC color standard for broadcast television. RCA originally developed the color circuits for the AMPEX quad tape machine. AMPEX agreed to let RCA make thier own version of a quad video tape machine in exchange for the color circuitry. It was a few months later that AMPEX replaced the color circuitry by a far superior color circuit.
I worked on quad tape machines since it invention
Before Johnny gave up covering up the gray.
He was already doing it. He was greying from 68/69 forward. In 71 it was pretty much all grey.
19:05 - Jonathan Winters for Hefty commercial
Wow! It's amazing just how unfunny this show is. I gave up after 8:16 because there was nothing that was even mildly amusing. These kind of shows -- and hosts -- are SO much better these days.
the king...but my god what awful ties we had back then.
The phrase random was used back then.
For a second I thought it was Lara Parker drinking Diet Coke.
As complicated as those times were They seem absolutely simple by today’s standards. Sad
The U.S. Pop would of been great, it's the Pop of the Turd world
According to the EPA, we have accomplished a great reduction in auto pollution since 1970.
A little too much Buddy Hackett. And a cigarette commercial! Music was great.
There is no such thing as too much Buddy Hackett, the problem was Hackett couldn't really do his act on television so he had to be rather restrained
It’s interesting-we think of change as accelerating, faster and faster-but the world in 2024 seems more like 1970 than 1970 was like 1916.
true dat
Wow ! So true!
😂
Wattenberg was right, Ehrlich was wrong, and has lived long enough to see panics about low birth rate.
No Erlich is right , too many people and too much pollution .
@@josephforest7605 No you're wrong and what's worse wrong-headed.
@@baronvonnembles Population control , is one of the most important things in this world .
@@josephforest7605You first.
Wattenberg is a crank, Dennis Miller. You ARE Dennis Miller, aren't you, Dennis ?
Imagine being born in 1939 and being young at 31…
50 years from now they’ll say the same thing about you.
Dr. Erlich's science on forestation is a little faulty. We decrease the effect of carbon monoxide by planting trees. Chicago has a reforestation project ongoing because trees "eat" carbon dioxide and use it to produce oxygen.
The Science was settled in 1970! I think this is a lesson to be learned about putting our faith in the so-called experts.
One of the big differences back then was the Tonight Show would actually bring people to represent both sides of issues and let the nation hear and decide for themselves.
I bet Dave Letterman watched this video
Too bad diabetes got Buddy.
78 years old lived til 2003, that’s not too bad
Dr Paul Ehrlich's claims did not age well.
A modern audience couldn't handle this. Imagine Jimmy Fallon.
Kent Micronite Filter! (Also known as asbestos.)
Never knew that about Kent cigarettes.
@@garymckee63 I'm not sure that's even true.
Love Rickeles and Dangerfield never liked Buddy…
Buddy Hackett's son looked like young Jeffrey Dahmer.
Buddy refers to never being "bleeped"(censored). Yet, youtube/google bleeps him now. Look how far we have regressed.
He gets bleeped here by NBC at 32:56
Buddy Hackett has a way of being annoying. Jonathan Winters was the same way. Light doses.
This was before Doc Severson worked on the show.
Doc had been the bandleader since around 1967; Johnny mentioned here that Doc was on vacation.
Doc is still kickin it!
Doc shows up in the pre-filmed Pizza Hut ad in this episode. 27:10
Imagine GEORGE CARLIN on this POPULATION nonsense as GEORGE would simply say """ship each country a MILLION XXX MOVIES and thier population would SKYROCKET!!!
Buddy Hackett was not funny, but he was a funny kind of not funny.
Ed goes: "how hot was it?"
Johnny didn't seem to take the Cue.
Imthinking that the "How______ was it?" trope wasn't yet a thing in 1970.
I'll bet that changed as he had Rodney Dangerfield on several times in the coming years....
Differnt Word
Oh my god, you cannot be serious. The " how hot was it thing" has been around probably before Vaudville - as long as telling jokes has been around....!
@@johnsewell6593It was the Old Skool version of "That's what she said."
