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.
Guests: Ronny Graham, Richard Harris, Burt Mustin, Ann Turkel.
NOTE: This specific TONIGHT SHOW may only contain an opening monologue by Johnny Carson.
Other content, as listed, will have to be monitored and confirmed upon your order request.

Bob Grant was a controversial right-wing talk radio show host, based in the New York City area. Grant is considered a pioneer in the talk radio format and an early adopter of the "combat talk" show style. He began in New York City radio on WMCA in 1970 where he remained until 1977. From there he moved to WOR radio, beginning there on May 30th, 1977. In 1979, he was fired from WOR for some controversial remarks he made on the air and moved back to WMCA taking the time slot of another conservative talk-show host Barry Farber. In November, 1984, Grant was hired by WABC radio which two years earlier had changed from a rock and roll station to an all-talk format. Grant remained with WABC until April 17th, 1996 when he was again fired by the station for remarks made about then commerce secretary Ron Brown who was involved in a plane crash on April 3rd. When Brown was found dead, the station fired him for his remarks against Brown.
Grant then returned to WOR for ten years until 2006. Following that Grant returned to WABC until November, 2008 when his show was pulled. He did some internet broadcasting and then returned for a final time to WABC in 2009. He permanently retired on July 28th, 2013, due to failing health. His radio motto was "Let's Be Heard" which served as the title of his book.

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 Carson returns to the Tonight Show following a six-week hiatus.
Bob Grant was a controversial right-wing talk radio show host, based in the New York City area. Grant is considered a pioneer in the talk radio format and an early adopter of the "combat talk" show style. He began in New York City radio on WMCA in 1970 where he remained until 1977. From there he moved to WOR radio, beginning there on May 30th, 1977. In 1979, he was fired from WOR for some controversial remarks he made on the air and moved back to WMCA taking the time slot of another conservative talk-show host Barry Farber. In November, 1984, Grant was hired by WABC radio which two years earlier had changed from a rock and roll station to an all-talk format. Grant remained with WABC until April 17th, 1996 when he was again fired by the station for remarks made about then commerce secretary Ron Brown who was involved in a plane crash on April 3rd. When Brown was found dead, the station fired him for his remarks against Brown.
Grant then returned to WOR for ten years until 2006. Following that Grant returned to WABC until November, 2008 when his show was pulled. He did some internet broadcasting and then returned for a final time to WABC in 2009. He permanently retired on July 28th, 2013, due to failing health. His radio motto was "Let's Be Heard" which served as the title of his book.
