Order1971-03-09, WNEW, 72 min.
July 7, 1969-July 14, 1972 (SYNDICATED). During the three-year run of his American talk show, David Frost taped the show (approximately 750 programs) each week, Monday through Thursdays. The series was syndicated by Westinghouse. David Frost's only guest this evening is singer Tony Bennett. Bennett sings numerous songs on the show backed by his own orchestra. They include, "Shadow of your Smile," "I Left My Hear in San Francisco," "Rags to Riches," "The Lady is in Love with You," "I'll Begin Again," "When You're Smiling," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," "Theme From Love Story," others. Bennett recounts the thrill of recording the theme from "Love Story" in England with a 107 piece London Philharmonic orchestra behind him. David Frost and Tony Bennett talk about a myriad of topics, including Bennett's childhood, growing up in Astoria Queens, his siblings, the different Nationalities in his neighborhood, which strengthened him as a youth, the 69th division army band he was a member, his very first girl friend, who encouraged him to become a singer, religion in his youth as an alter boy, and an anecdote related to the first singing "gig" he remembers performing as a 6 year old when he and his brother sang at the opening of the Tri-Borough Bridge with Mayor La Guardia in attendance. Tony Bennett takes questions from the audience. He remembers Pearl Bailey giving him his first professional opportunities. David Frost reads a poem that Bailey wrote to Bennett called "TAKE TIME." Additional anecdotes include Bob Hope who changed his marquee name to Tony Bennett and took him on tour, how Tony first was introduced to his signature song, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco," and coming in second to Rosemary Clooney competing on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts Radio Program. Frost and Bennett view a clip from the motion picture, "THE OSCAR," in which Tony does a very dramatic scene. Tony discusses his dramatic acting ambitions, his penchant for painting locations where he performs all around the world, and his admiration for the music by The Beatles. Tony sings a medley of Beatle tunes. When asked by Frost who his favorite singers are, Bennett mentions, Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra. Concluding the show Tony Bennett dedicates to David Frost and sings, "Who Can I Turn To?" A Complete broadcast minus commercials.

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 Carl Sagan, Tony Bennett Charles Nelson Reilly, and Victor Buono.#10051: MIKE DOUGLAS SHOW, THE
