NOTE:
Not complete. Commercials deleted.
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.

"The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder is NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE.
October 15, 1973-January 28, 1982.
The first 32 minutes of this broadcast is archived.
Guest is Candy Barr, the famous stripper who was a friend of Lee Harvey Oswald's assassin Jack Ruby, was born Juanita Dale Slusher on July 6, 1935 in Edna, Texas. She began her stripping career in her native Texas, becoming famous in the clubs of Dallas (particularly after a drug bust) before playing lucrative venues in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New Orleans in the late 1950s. She reportedly made $2,000 a week (approximately $15,500 in 2012 dollars).
At the opening, host Tom Snyder states that as a 19 year old teanager he knew of Candy Barr when he was first working for radio station WRIT in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and he has been waiting 22 years to finally meet her in person.
The early years of Candy Barr is discussed including what it was like growing up on a rural farm, death of her mother when nine years of age, being sexually molested numerous times by the same adult when only five years of age and why she never told anyone about it, running away from home at 12 years of age, first experiences as an exotic dancer, marriage to a robber at the age of 14 and circumstances why she married at that young age, being forced to work as a stripper and prostitute at age 16, working for Barney Weinstein at The Theater Lounge, making the short sex film in 1951 called "Smart Alec," and not done of her own free will.
Candy Barr admits that all of the sensational publicity surrounding her was least important. Love to dance, mostly. Tom Snyder discusses with Barr her 15 year conviction on charges of marijuana possession...admitting that presiding Judge Brown took pictures of her in the courtroom. She remembers the police barging in to her apartment and she giving them a small amount of weed...she and her boyfriend also in the apartment arrested.
NOTE:
At this point in the interview the 1/4" reel to reel tape expires, missing approximately 25 more minutes of discussion along with commercials. What has been archived is quite rare for it is the only instance that is known of Candy Barr appearing on a television talk show and discussing her life.
