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 1970s, 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 are George Carlin, and Robert Klein. 
Topics of discussion include:
The seven words that cannot be said of television, Carlin's metamorphosis through the years...development, and personal changes. Carlin's busy schedule including making 75 appearances a year...the difference between concert performances and performing in Las Vegas.
Robert Klein relates as well. His definition of what is a stand-up comedian, accrediting Rodney Dangerfield as a mentor.

George Carlin states that the audience shapes the art of the comedy that is performed. Not wanting to do a TV  series because of so many restrictions that one has to agree to. Loves doing personal comedy and writing which is a very lonely process. 

Robert Klein views very few comedy series as iconic such as The Honeymooners. Both discuss the merits of That Was The Week That Was. 
The discussion moves to film financing and those challenges. Carlin remembers his roots, beginning as a Disc Jockey, Robert Klein beginning as a school teacher, including always humor into his teaching. At one time Robert Klein admits, until he went to college, he has aspirations of becoming a surgeon. 
The subject of taboos in comedy is discussed.

This broadcast originally scheduled to be broadcast live from Rose Bowl live from Pasadena was changed to a live presentation in a studio due to rain. Tom Snyder explains at the top of the show. 

A lively discussion with first guest, Mickey Rooney who talk to Tom about a myriad of topics including, His love and long working career relationship with Judy Garland, early work in Hollywood and on television, and losing his own identity when he was at a crossroads in his declining career in the 1950's, his thoughts on each or his former wives (7 marriages), his children, his thoughts on his 5' 3" height. Mickey also states his praise for Barbara Streisand and Woody Allen and Jack Nicholson. He reminisces about the studio system working for and with Louis B. Mayer, Harry Cohen, his filing for bankruptcy, bad management, current work doing a lot of theater plays and his frame of mind today.

Andy Devine joins the discussion. He was recently in intensive care for five weeks and received over 14,000 fan letters. This would be his last broadcast  interview as he would pass away only six weeks later. Devine discusses the four films he made with Rooney...meeting him when he was called Mickey McGuire, appearing in over 400 motion pictures, his love for the character "Jingles" which he played on the TV series The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickock (1951-1958), working with John Ford and Harry Carey in 1919.

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 1970s, 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.

This broadcast featured a discussion about the "Media." 

In part  one of this one hour broadcast is guest Wilson Bryan Key, author of the book "Media Sexploitation." The book relates to advertisers and advertising which fashions the caters to the consumer culture relying on subliminal messages and symbols geared toward the consumers' logical conscious mind. Such advertising relies on embedding words and pictures which the public trains their eyes, not always logically.

Other topics explored include: 
subliminal advertising, synthetic substances added to products, codes of ethics unconscious cigarettes ads, how the public is being "sexsploited," phycology of selling magazines, illustrations that address the subconscious selling alcohol, air brush techniques in advertising  using an example of Marlon Brando seen on a back cover in a suggestive pose but subliminally. 

In part two, Tom Snyder's guest is television visionary legend Pat Weaver who continues the conversation on topic, discussing advertising in all media applied in nighttime radio, using attractive women in advertising, catering to advertising agency demands. Weaver states that he is very pro about advertising, but opposed to negative products being advertised (cigarettes and alcohol). 

Pat Weaver recalls his involvement with NBC's Matinee Theatre which produced live plays five days a week in the afternoon...a major undertaking which displayed so much potential, but was controlled by advertisers and could not escape their grasp. Also, discussed is the Mini-Series on television and situation comedy on TV which in Weavers estimation will always exist.
