    This is awesome and historic! I was fortunate enough to see the beginning of the Beatles and the British invasion. I watched the Beatles live on the Ed Sullivan Show in February of 1964. In my opinion they're the GREATEST Band in Rock history...
    The items Johnny is showing are collector's items and are worth a lot of money.

      I don't think the show changed the 90-minute run time until sometime in 1980. During the early days in new york, and I think this show is probably in that era, there was a pre-show that ran for about 15 minutes. I think it was mostly the band and Ed.

    This is phenomenal! We can now only imagine what it would have been like if The Beatles had been booked on The Tonight show back then or even when they toured again in '65 or '66. Mr Carson would have been the best host to interview them! And then there was May of '68 which was, tragically, a entirely different story all together.

    If Johnny only would have known how big the Beatles would become.. Johnny Carson invited the Beatles to the show. Lennon and McCartney accepted the invitation only to be greeted by Joe Garagiola. Johnny didn`t bother to show up. Johnny met Paul McCartney in the 1980`s when he came on the Carson show to promote a solo album. Carson showed up for that one. I don`t think Carson ever met John Lennon.

John also felt insulted that Johnny didn`t show. I`m sure Paul agreed with John. John and Paul were the biggest stars in the world in the 1960`s, and Johnny didn`t even bother to show up when they did his show..

      Like you, I regret the loss of episodes from the first ten years of the Carson era. However, it's likely that some episodes from that period might not have been worth preserving, on tape or on film. Maybe Johnny's monologues might have fallen flat, or the guests might not have been very interesting.

    Johnny Carson! Unfortunately, at age 16, I couldn't get in & had to settle. to being in the audience
    of "The Price is Right" & other shows! I never saw Johnny, but did see Ed McMahon at NBC Studios,
    Burbank, in 1979 & actually met Johnny's brother, Dick, in Honolulu, Hawaii in '91! Great memories!

    He mentioned their songs at the end saying he heard them and that he thought they were good. Wished them best of luck. Showing the merchandise was for comedic purposes which is what the show would do before bringing out guests. I thought he was very good because at this time no one knew what was about to happen and it was basically the teenagers that were paying the most attention. I grew up during this time period and the adults looked at it as a novelty. Johnny understood something big was about to happen

      In the 60s, stations that aired a half-hour late newscast would skip Johnny's monologue, and join at 11:30, with Ed giving a second intro, as the network came out of a break. Johnny strongly disliked that, and eventually wouldn't go on until 11:30. Finally, NBC cut 15 minutes from the show, and everyone had Johnny's monologue.

      $5 then is around $50 today, that would be a bargain compared to some of the merch they sell nowadays

    I’m so glad someone recorded these and held onto them! Because according to Johnny, the film didn’t survive.

      Most of them don’t, a few scattered kinescopes here and there don’t amount to a lot.

      Can you imagine what the Beatles clothing items would be worth today if someone bought one then and took good care of it? First editions! This is a great clip!

    Johnny Carson thinks he's being clever and smart, in reality, he missed The Beatles and why they mattered, it had nothing to do with their hair or their merchandise, it had to do with their music. Does he say a single thing about their albums? their songs? no.

      Hey imbecile: their first album had only been released for a couple of weeks! What do you think, Johnny Carson was on top of The Beatles in January of 1964? You know what your problem is, doofus? You've been given too many Beatle books for Christmas. What an absolute imbecile. You think you know about 1964, but you're actually a complete imbecile who has been in his basement way too long jerking off to Mark Lewhisohn. Grow up, you frickin' embarrassment.

    Notice that the audience didn't really care before they arrived. Anyway the early Beatles were boy band pop rubbish. I only took interest when they started doing deeper stuff around '66.
