- The Tonight Show as shown on the NBC Network "In Living Color". Unedited with the original network commercials and original bumpers where the local commercials would usually cover up.
Guest: Sammy Davis Jr, Diane Keaton, Freddie Prinze, Erma Bombeck
Hope everyone enjoyed the show
Thank you!!!!
Yes. Thanks for posting, especially a "real" Tonight Show, unlike the modified material Carson's company posts with edits, phony synthesizer music re-dubs, applause tracks covering guest walk-on music etc.
I did indeed.
Thank you for posting this!🎉
@@sinrob1 But the actual saying of the words "The Tonight Show" (an NBC trademark) cut out. That's why the repackaged Carson shows are never called "The Tonight Show."
Sammy coming out like dynamite, reminding us all to be solid. God bless Sammy, wherever you are.
Fortunate in early 80's to see him perform at Harrah's Lake Tahoe. Par Excellence 🙂
@@Joeblow-ms3cv I was him in 1977, what a dynamic performer!
I read that the day after this, Freddie got contacted by NBC to do his own show. Johnny had that kind of influence.
Getting on the Tonight Show alone and scoring was enough. What put him over the top was getting called to the couch. For comedians, that alone was the moment you knew you were going to have a career. Drew Carey said he had almost the same experience. The next day, he was getting offers from networks all around.
Fun to note is Freddie was one of the few to get called to the couch on his first appearance. The next time that would happen would be a few years later, with a little comic named Billy Crystal! (And keeping with tradition, it was a few months after that when Billy got Soap.)
You mean Chico and the Man? One of my favorite shows as a kid.
I miss the peacock. I miss Johnny and Ed, but happy 96th birthday Doc.
What a voice Sammy has! That was terrific! Boy, I miss those type entertainers. They would really light up Vegas when they appeared. Sammy was the ultimate entertainer. He just could make people feel great. I miss him. I saw him in Miami and he was great. Sammy, Dean, Frank, they’re all gone! You youngsters don’t know what you’re missing.
Entertainment was on an entirely different plane in those days.
Probably the best of all of Sammy Davis Jr.s' Tonight Show appearances. Wow!
*Jr.'s
He was incredible. He could do it all, and do it so well.
The ending to “I gotta be me” was wow 🤩 😮
Seriously
Gives me the chills
This has to be in the top five all time best episodes of the Tonight Show.
I'm glad you liked it
Wow,I even remember some of these commercials.This was 1 and a half years after high school.I watched Johnny every night.
We all watched him; I was 13 at the time.
Thank you for preserving this with the commercials!!!
Totally! Something wonderfully nostalgic about old commercials for products that don't exist anymore, like those incredibly loud and awful plaid slacks!
Rlinks, thank you for posting this gem. Doc Severinsen just turned 96 this week!
You're very welcome!
"The show back in New York" was one of the last episodes of 'Jack Paar Tonight!'.
50 years ago unbelievable
This recording is a great chance to hear a lot of the Tonight Show Band. Some local affiliates weren't able to sell every slot of commercial time, and when they had a slot open, the show would play--the video would be the "More to Come" card, but the audio would be the band playing the interstitial music. On this recording of the Tonight Show, there's a lot of unsold commercial time when you can hear the band playing, I grew up in a large suburban area, so I rarely if ever got to hear the music played during commercials, so I loved getting a chance to hear that.
Sammy Davis is great, he sings a couple songs, but then he does an improv medley with the band that's marvelous, he sings Tie a Yellow Ribbon with this hip beat, and a couple other numbers, & does a wonderful dance bit, it's great. Plus jazz drummer Louis Bellson is sitting in with The Band and there's a segment when Johnny turns it over to the band & they play a Bellson arrangement, with solo space for Louis.
This is the break out show for Freddie Prince, his first time on Natl TV, and he just slays, so of course Johnny invites him over. Erma Bombeck is a no show, it seems like something happened, bc Johnny turned the show over to the band during the usual writer spot. He said they ran outta time, but Johnny would usually cut the band number rather than a guest, so I think Erma had to go for some reason.
This is an actual copy of the network feed, which is why there are only network commercials and not local commercial.
There was only 4 minutes airtime left by that point; running long and having to bump a guest happened pretty often because there was so much authentic talent! Really, they ran long because of Sammy's extra performances, but no one was going to say no, even Erma herself!
@@RlinksHa! I made a reply to a previous comment speculating as much! Cool, and thanks!
Louis Bellson? I don't even know that name, but he was ON FIRE for the whole show! I don't know when Ed Shaughnessy joined up, but Louis was every bit as amazing, straight from the Gene Krupa/Buddy Rich big band drumming tradition. He was amazing! And Sammy's medley starting with the bassist - wow!
I'm in the suburbs of NYC- back then you NEVER got to hear that extra music ! When M-TV was BRAND NEW they did the same thing. BIG spaces around the commercials for "station ID music" .
Erma Bombeck was bumped. Freddie Prinze did something you will never see today: an ethnic comedy routine.
The libs would crucify him; "Cancelled!"
Saw Freddie Prinze at our local fair a few months before he died. He did a pretty good stand up.
Diane Keaton-a truly beautiful multi talented versatile stage/movie and television performer-successfully entertained millions of fans for over forty five years.
I really enjoyed her in all of the films with Woody Allen.
@@Rob_KatesPlay It Again, Sam is my favorite.
@@January. Yes, Woody made tons of great movies. A very impressive career as a writer, actor and director.
A surprisingly terrible interview, though. She barely said anything.
I went to the HS Freddie Prinze went to, the old PA (High School of Performing Arts) on W 46th St. in Manhattan. We used to hear stories about Freddie all the time. When he did this show, he had recently graduated in June of that year, 1973. Tragic end for him alas, may he RIP.
What a treat to see this show!
You will never ever hear anyone work the music and sing like Sammy! Thanks to you, I have. I will revisit!
Another consequence of this episode is that Freddie Prinze went on to open for Sammy Davis on tour in 1975. i almost got tickets to see them in Cincinnati.
I almost did lots of cool stuff too!
Thank you so much for posting this. Sammy was always amazing. 💙💙
He was the most versatile of the Rat Pack guys.
This will stream in HD 1080
My 3rd birthday! Wish I could go back in time! If only I could I would cause my parents were alive and life was great! I'd like to sit back and my life like I watch movies! Love the guests on this episode!
This is a real TREAT! Thanks so much for this! 😊😊😊😊😊😊
At 6:20, Tom Harmon doing the commercial. He's the father of actor Mark Harmon (NCIS).
FANTASTIC! - Thank you!
At alpine valley in East troy wi in the early 70s , Sammy wrote a check to the waitress in the same amount as the whole crew because she served his table when another waiter refused ! !NOW THAT'S A CLASSY MAN GOD BLESS SAMMY DAVIS JR.AND THE RAT PACK ! ! BIESS JOHNNY CARSON AND ED AND DOC AND OF COARSE TOMMY NEWSOME THOSE WERE THE DAYS ! !❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
52:10 Bonnie Herman sings for United Airlines. The voice-over on this United commercial is, of course, provided by the great Burgess Meredith. Bonnie Herman was a legendary session singer based out of Chicago.
What a voice Mr Davis had
Amazing footage
I was working midnights then,so this will be my first chance to view this.
1:13:25 yes, come over and sit down, Freddie! The moment every young comic savored: the coronation from King John of Burbank. And check out the band number later on featuring many musicians who’d stay with Doc to the end of Carson’s tenure.
Louis Bellson on drums. Vicious.
WE❤LOVE ❤YOUR ❤CHANNEL 😊
What Baby Boomer didn't watch and love the great Johnny Carson?! I found it interesting that Sammy Davis Jr. used race as his first example of what people would ingest Hallucinogens to escape. Anyway, like most Boomers, I wish I could go back in time and do it all over again knowing what I do now! The '70s was a great time to be a kid. (EDIT: 1:21:30. It's James Earl Jones announcing for SuperScope Stereo!)
Great video johnny is hilarious 😂😂😂 Thank you
Doc's band sure could play!!! 😮
SD Jr was on fire!
1:26:05 and again at 1:27:36--A pretty Henry Mancini piece, "Brass on Ivory," which was the title cut of a Mancini-Doc Severinsen album released in 1972.
Amazing guys went out in public in those Jaymar pants. How fashions change.
The chemistry between Johnny and Diane Keaton was a lot like the chemistry between Terri Garr and Letterman a decade after this.
She sings pretty dang good
Diane was very awkward, but it made her more appealing.
Wow, you're totally right about that! The awkwardness was endearing, and there was an obvious friendship between the two. They understood each other, and that was totally what was going on with Dave & Terri Garr.
@@beenaplumber8379 I love Terri Garr; beautiful, sexy, great actress and dancer! I saw her at an airport about 6 years ago; It broke my heart to see her in such poor physical condition; the amazing lady is fighting her grievous illness with such tenacity and dignity.
@@MrMenefrego1 That's sad, and scary. I'm getting old too, and we're all gonna end up that way, more or less, sooner or later, if we're lucky enough to live that long.
I had forgotten that they ever asked the audience if they had any questions.
And you have the old commercials Right On!
Thanks! Love the lack of efiting, the extra music.
Those were the days...
Diane Keaton is lovely, charming and funny!
She had (has) it all.
I think she smoked pot before the show
I miss the days when talk shows didn't have a divisive political agenda.
There is nothing funny about talk shows today; it's a neverending anti-Trump hatefest.
He was ready but not ready for all that came with it. Dead in less than four years.
wow. sammy davis jr. wow.
@1:20:31 I've no idea what note doc hit, but it was stratospheric!
Need more episodes with Sammy I'm sure over the years Johnny must of had the 3 of them on Dean Sammy and Frank
Frank even guest hosted the show once.
@@Rob_Kates yeah seen it
*must have had
Louie Bellson's solo blew away anything Buddy Rich ever did !!!😂
I don't know about that; he was good, but Buddy is a legend!
Diane Keaton appears to be stoned here.🥴🤪
Ed made an entire career out of laughing at Carsons jokes.
Anyone could do that. Ed was a whole lot more to the success of the show than "laughing at Carson's jokes".
@@MrJoeybabe25 Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho! You are correct, sir! Hi-O!
I started watching Johnny in Sept. '74 when I started high school and had double sessions. My bus came at 10:45 so it enabled me to watch the whole show that ended at 1:00 a.m.
Diane *does* have that Teri Garr 'ditz-factor' :)
I didn't know Julianne Moore was interviewed by Johnny Carson back then.
1:21:30 James Earl Jones is the voice of the cartoon tuba.
Great episode! this was LA not New York
Good days.
Wow! United Airlines was introducing in-flight... radio!? 😂😂😂
13:17 - No, I wouldn't be caught DEAD wearing these!
So before Carson Productions, there was Tonight Show Company, Inc.
I’m trying to understand how a very staid 60’s man and frequent Carson viewer would respond to Sammy’s 70’s beatbox jig.
Ya Freddie was very likeable. Dianne is very quirky, similar to Terri Garr and Meg Ryan.
The pants commercial got me. I think I repressed that fashion statement from my memory. My eyes hurt now.
24:36 - OOPS! :)
👌!
Blanking out the AUDIO HEAVEN FORBID WE HEAR the words from Ed """its the TONIGHT SHOW with JOHNNY CARSON""" it might start another EARTHQUAKE TREMOUR!!!! I understand COPYRIGHTS but we viewers can still SEE JOHNS APPEARENCE and HEAR JOHNS VOICE and SEE HIS PHYSICAL PRESENCE as HE was recorded LIVE some years back!!!! Welcome to what we percieve in the years of 1985 tru 2024 as keep your EYES ON THOSE DOLLARS$$$$$$$
Mr.bojangles danced
I don’t remember the band performances going on that long when returning from commercials. I think those were edited down for broadcast.
This is a network feed of NBC broadcast. The local stations would run commercial during the bumper section. The music was for the audience waiting for the commercial break to end.
It's fantastic... thanks for leaving the music in. Doc's band was swinging!
@@Rlinks
A legend. America's taste for so long
Diane was high.
24:45 - Interesting! *NO* applause when going to commercial! (?)
1:14:41 - I see what they did here! A 'shuffled-around' version of "Happy Birthday" to avoid royalties! :)
The band
Milk House...It actually hurts to watch these clips...human pain though😂
It's Freddie Prinze.
Do you have the show when Suzanne Somers was bow saw in half by Blackstone the magician
And yet Johnny had to apologize near the end of this episode for Erma Bombeck not appearing because "we ran a little long."
A 90-minute, early-'70s "Tonight Show" and yet a guest was still "cut for time".
Hard to imagine that happening today.
Not the only occurrence, it happened numerous times...even through the 1980's.
It happened on Letterman's NBC show as well.
Diane Keaton went to Santa Ana High School.
To the owner of this channel....how did you obtain this show on video? Was it from dvds?
There was a time after Johnny Carson retired. His website sold full episode of his tonight show. It lasted only for a short period because copyright issues made the cost of buying a full episode expensive. This is not from the best of DVD.
@@Rlinks This particular episode was amazing and a real example of the breadth of content you could see from the 90 minute days. Please tell me you have more.
@mikedeveau7075 Yes, I have more. I tried to post an episode that hasn't been posted before.
Super talents. Not like the garbage on late night since Leno left.
Johnny Carson, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Merv Griffin, David Letterman. Period.
@@January. Carson was the best. The others are good, but they all tried to copy Carson.
@@roncaruso931 Jack Paar hosted the Tonight Show BEFORE Johnny.
@JANUARY. No kidding! Thanks for letting me know!!! Steve Allen created the Tonight show in the 1950's. He set the format. A desk, going into the audience and ask questions, doing wacky stunts, going outside the studio, and ask questions. Letterman had Allen on his show, and Letterman admitted that he copied many of Allen's ideas. No matter, Carson was the best.
@@roncaruso931 *1950s
Therefore, Jack Paar DIDN'T copy Johnny DUH.
She acts just like Annie Hall here.
Woody just wrote a movie to showcase her quirky, funny personality.
Her real last name is Hall.
That painting of Johnny behind the band doesn't look like him😅
How did you know it was of Johnny if it didn't look like him?
I thought it was a picture of Merv Griffen?
Sammys right about drugs. MJ is fine if you like it...i do...but really for medicinal issues. I have severe anxiety and mental health stuff as well as pain management problems. I take kratom and marijuana flower dry vape(or delta 9 gummies... pretty much the ssme thing )
I think Johnny was trying to hold off the grey monster. His hair looks so dyed here.
Anyone commenting Freddie is unfunny, how funny were you at 19? Johnny is not even funnier. No offense...it's just Freddie's humor was funny for the time it was presented. He was new...a minority young funny person and good looking and charming.
People seem to forget that 1973 was a different era. I wish we can go back to those laid back times in some ways.
Diana Keaton is Aubrey Plaza.🤔🙄😉
Hey wha hoppen?
You often see different hosts or people doing bits with music playing and the people will wave theirr arm, like to cut it of, and they miss by a few bits or even more, but NEVER with Johnny and Doc. Always linstant. Timing is everything. Isn't it Doc?
So much polyester.
If Johnny would have put down his cigarettes maybe he would have felt better.
Not "maybe." DEFINITELY.
Oh oh. The cigarette police are here again. Lock the door.
@@keithhyttinen8275 The prevalence of ignoramuses in the world is appalling.
Johnny no longer smokes.
I think Johnny being ill gave this show a special loopiness that is eternally endearing
The drummer in this episode was? (did anyone notice?) "Louie Bellson" !!!
Forced laughter
“Eez not my job.”
It’s amazing and pathetic that if Freddie Prinze (Prince is an incorrect spelling) was starting out today that he would never be able to poke fun at his Puerto Rican heritage as part of his comedy act.
The “woke” brigade would crucify him.
And the music chart being played by the band during the commercial break after Prinze’s spot is really interesting.
I mean there are asian comedians who do the asian accent. Gabriel Iglesias does the accents and latino humor
What are you talking about? There’s a young Latino cast member on SNL whose first sketches literally were full of references to his Cuban heritage. It’s embarrassing how ignorant these “you couldn’t do that today” takes are.
This isn't true.
That is completely untrue. “Woke Brigade?” Turn off Hannity and join the real world.
/I forgot how unfunny Freddie Prince was.....
Ed insipid bellowing laugh, lackey yesman.
Indubidubly 🙂
