She talks about  her relationship with President John F. Kennedy, and discusses her affiliations with some of the biggest names in show business and in the underworld.                        

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.

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.

Topic: Life After Death. 
60-minute edited version of 90 minute broadcast, as syndicated
in New York.

Merv Griffin discusses death with author Raymond A. Moody, the father of the "Near Death Experience" movement, transforming the world and  revolutionizing the way people think about death, and what lies beyond.  In 1975 he published the book "Life After Life,"  which details one hundred fifty people who experienced "clinical death" and were revived. 

Topics discussed by Raymond Moody include:
-Research based on 150 accounts by individuals experiencing death and returning to life.
-Deaths by accidents, suicide, illness.
-How legally died individuals  leave their bodies and view doctors trying to resuscitate them. 

Guest Viola Horton recalls her death experience in May 1971.
Guest Dr. George Richie, the man who inspired Raymond Moody to write his own book on the subject, relates  his own death experience moment in December 1943.

NOTE: Dr. George Richie's experience was the first contact Raymond Moody had with NDE's (near death experience) during his post-graduate studies and residency in psychiatry at the University of Virginia. This led Moody to investigate the phenomenon of NDE, more, and led him to write 
"Life after Life" in 1975, and subsequently two more books on the subject.
