Luckily people have preserved almost or nearly anything you ever listened too. If you remember the album names just type them into youtube or wherever and enjoy!
I didn't realize as far back as 1971 they were going on about playing records backwards nonsense. Thought that was just in the 1980s, George again ahead of the times as always.
Actually, his first time was with Jack Paar in October 1960, when he was still part of a duo with Jack Burns. He did appear with Mort when Mort was one of the tryout hosts in the interim period after Paar left for good. This was before NBC finally landing on some Carson fella. LOL
I see the "dot crawl" in this kinescope. That means it's possible that color recovery is possible. It's more of a process in PAL. Not sure if it's been tried on NTSC kinescopes since usually most NTSC kinescopes utilized B&W rasters (recording TV's). This one obviously utilized a color raster.
The Tonight Show didn't move to beautiful downtown Burbank until 1972 so this was in NYC. Johnny had taken the show occasionally to CA for a week, which is why the "both coast" comment. In retrospect, I actually preferred the NY shows because I was introduced to a LOT of east coast artists as a result, from opera singers and Broadway actors/actresses and non artist celebs who didn't get to the west coast. Once he moved, it became more about movie celebs and since I live on the WC and there were movie magazines . . . meh.
No, this was definitely Burbank here. You can tell by the shot of the audience section at the start - taller and much more capacity than the NY studio. And then when Carlin goes over to sit down, the layout of the set and the same desk that was used in Burbank the first couple of years. The show started doing those one or two week visits to NBC Burbank in 1969 or 70, so this appears to be during one of those trips. As you said, Carson later decided to make California the permanent location in 1972. They then did a few brief visits back to NY for a year or so then never went back.
I’ve never seen these old clips of George Carlin! Only discovered him during the pandemic & saw the ones from his late 40s & onward. He was awesome 😅
Look for the early ones from the 60's, you won't believe the difference.
I would highly recommend listening to some of his old albums. I don't think you will be disappointed.
Miss him.
His bit about cleaning out the refrigerator is hysterical too. Wish I still had his albums

I see some albums are on spotify. Depends on where you are.
Only heard of him a few years ago font no why cos he's comedy gold😂😂
He's the best ever imo. Nailed every line.
you can look into carlin's eyes and know immediately he was highly intelligent.
Exceptionally intelligent. He will never be matched
@@TinCupChalice40 " never" is a rash statement. I enjoyed Carlin, but I wasn't an all in fanboy.

Far out 1971 man🤩🤩
Carlin's first time on The Tonight Show was when Mort Sahl hosted. It's on RUclips.

It's impossible with ntsc
Do you have additional kinescopes of The Tonight Show? This excerpt isn't included in Carson Entertainment Group's holdings.

I still quote George Carlin: my stuff is stuff, your stuff is sh*t....Who moved my stuff. Whose shit is this. 🤣
Do you have the 8-10-71 airdate show???
Somehow from 1967 to 1971 he grew younger
Charlton Heston was supposed to move over to the couch. That is well known.
Was that an error. deliberate or planned I wonder? We know the hippies were frowned upon.
He's not funny.
I know, he's fucking hilarious.
It helps to actually have a sense of humor, a sense of time context, and a historical knowledge of pop culture.
I agree Charlton Heston is not funny.
I'm sorry, but One nation indivisible: parts 1 & 2 is fucking hilarious
some of his gigs were mediocre. but his hits were out of this world.
