Broadcast from July 14, 1952, to September 23, 1960, on NBC, CBS & ABC Networks.

After a fourteen-year absence, "Masquerade Party" reappeared briefly as a syndicated series in 1974 & 1975 with host Richard Dawson and announcer Jay Stewart. NOTE: At the beginning of this broadcast the announcer states this short lived standard opening used to indicate an NBC COLOR TV transmission. "This program is brought to you in COMPATIBLE COLOR on NBC." Shortly after, the word "COMPATIBLE" was changed to "LIVING." Only one episode is known to exist from the 1974-1975 syndicated series which is archived at UCLA FILM & TV ARCHIVE. These Richard Dawson shows were broadcast initially from September 9, 1974, to September 1975. During 1976 syndicated re-runs were telecast. Even the original 1952-1960 programs are mostly "lost." The library of Congress has only one episode. UCLA Film & Radio Archive has only two episodes. Paley Center for Media has five episodes. In this episode, the masquerader is Yankee pitcher Whitey Ford. Eddie Bracken is the host.

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.
