Joined at  11:30pm. Johnny Carson monologue. Johnny introduces his guests which include Andy Williams.  He discuses with Ed McMahon the rain deluge New York City is currently experiencing. Other topics include last night's program that featured an audience member bobbing for apples, his head submerged in water. Because the last two minutes of the program was preempted for an NBC News Bulletin, viewers at home thought the man drowned. 
Johnny cuts away for a cigarette commercial. 

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.

September 21, 1963 - December 21, 1963. Jerry Lewis hosted an unprecedented two-hour live variety - talk show, signing a five-year deal for 35 million dollars in 1963 with ABC Television. A two-hour live variety show proved to be more than even Jerry Lewis could handle. The series proved to be an enormous failure. In three months the show was off the air. 

Jerry's guests are  Ethel Merman, Jonathan Winters, Phil Silvers, Sid Caesar who does a comic routine, and  Peter Falk, a few of the cast members of Stanley Kramer's blockbuster comedy motion picture, "Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, World" which premieres in two weeks at the new Cinerama theater in Hollywood.
There are many reminisces and anecdotes expressed about Jerry related to prior relationships with him when he was starting out in show business, and about his father Danny Lewis.

 A brylcreem hair commercials is included.

The careers of George Jessel and Al Jolson are profiled by host Conrad Nagel with additional anecdotes from Al Lewis, the producer and director of the original play "The Jazz Singer," and from Pearl Seaman who reflects on the career of Al Jolson.   

Note: This is the only known extant broadcast (video / audio) of producer Albert Lewis reflecting on how he first met George Jessel  who starred in his produced Broadway Play THE JAZZ SINGER  in 1925. 

Lewis reminisces, uninterrupted, for four minutes. 

He remembers how he first met Jessel as a young Vaudevillian doing a monologue routine about how to eat frankfurters only with mustard...what attracted a young George Jessel to him who was very lively and so original..."an obvious immerging great talent." 

Al Lewis reminds us of his partnership producing team  Lewis and Gordon, producing one act plays and always looking for new talent which they found in George Jessel, who became a protégé of Lewis, rising to stardom in the theater. 

Al Lewis reflects how tedious and difficult Samson Raphaelson's first play, THE JAZZ  SINGER,  was to fashion into a one-act  stage play, a critical failure at first but managed to thrill audiences for 14 months on Broadway and turned a profit. 

Lewis mentions his regrets that Jessel was not able to come to terms with Warner Brothers who were not  in a financial position to meet his terms which created a profound missed opportunity for George Jessel to become movie star.
