October 15, 1973-January 28, 1982. 

This was the "Independence Day Special Program," a salute to the Fourth of July, telecast live July 4th .from 1am to 7am EST. 

THIS ARCHIVED AUDIO AIR CHECK IS INCOMPLETE COVERING three hours, 1:30AM TO 4:30AM with original commercials.  

Locales range from London to Las Vegas and with topics spanning politics, health,  ecology, the economy and the arts. This ambitious program is mostly concerned with examining the state of the Nation today and according to producer Joel Tator, "where it's heading in the near future." 

Scheduled at 3 A.M., American traditions are examined. In Atlanta we look at preparations for the city's Independence Day parade; and in Baltimore at 4 A.M., a reenactment of the British shelling of Fort McHenry in 1814, when Francis Scott Key wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner" which, in 1931, became the national anthem. 

From New York, host Tom Snyder is scheduled to interview tourists in Las Vegas, young people at Harvard and a family of expatriates in London.

Studio guests include Jimmy Breslin, Wernher von Braun, and others.
 
NOTE:
There is a slight broadcast buzz on this audio air check. Otherwise  the audio plays back very audibly. 

An hour-long talk show hosted by Tom Snyder. Network television's first entry into late-late-night programming on weeknights Monday thru Thursday, usually broadcasting on tape 1 AM to 2 AM. "Tomorrow" was expanded to 90 minutes on September 16, 1980.                                                                                           

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.

She states the importance and value of teaching young kids sports, especially baseball. Also discussed are the challenges and aspirations that are current and remain ahead expanding her program. 

Next up Tom Snyder moves locations to a casino hotel where he interviews Luis Felipe Gonzalez, born in NYC but now supervising this Puerto Rican gambling establishment. He discusses how he got into the gambling business and why he deems Puerto Rico gambling establishments superior to those in Las Vegas.

Luis Ferre states that currently the income per capita of Puerto Rico is one of the highest in the world. Total independence for Puerto Rico is discussed as well as viewing his country as one belonging to the United States even thought citizens cannot vote for an American  president.
