October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
Johnny's guests are Shecky Greene, Ethel Merman, and Ted Knight.

Betty discusses a myriad of subjects including:
Mother, an early bootlegger and alcoholic herself...Betty singing at three years of age, with her mother playing guitar...marriage four times and never loved by any of her husbands...at 14 meeting Bernard Baruch, and dropping out of school to go into showbusiness...at one point in her life wanting to become a nun but unable to find the passion...love of church and finding God...writing a book called "Backstage You Can Have."
Betty also remember her years with Vincent Lopez and a career that in the whole made her miserable and depressed. Playing Vegas...replacing Judy Garland on sage and making $100,000 a night and replacing Garland reshooting the movie "Annie Oakley."
Biggest satisfaction in her career playing for the troops in Korea. Past 10 years very lonely...has found God after shock of having former husband Pete Candoli leave her, at such time thought of committing suicided.
Betty Hutton tells Mike Douglas that she and most other entertainers have a inside fear prior to performing. Interestingly she remembers seeing Al Jolson on stage for his last time and he told her the same emotion he has always had as well.
Betty confirms that at one time she had almost 10 million dollars and after it was all gone her children moved in with their father...a future estranged relationship, and she subsequently has never met her four grandchildren.
