June 28, 1973-August 16, 1973. Helen Reddy hosted this variety hour, a summer replacement for "The Flip Wilson Show."

The Temptations and singer-com poser Kenny Rankin join Helen for a musical hour, peppered with comedy by George Carlin and mellowed with a poetry recitation from "Ego Tripping" by actress Cicely Tyson. 

Helen interviews fictitious character, Josh Wallace, played by George Carlin who states he discovered Jonathan Livingston Seagull. 
At the end of the program all take questions from the audiences.

Helen Reddy - Has a house boy called George...first recording in Chicago in 1967...why referred God as a She. 

George Carlin - Why he writes his own material...why he has grown his hair long now...a class clown in school.

Cecily Tyson - Best ever role she has ever played, "Sounder."...currently about to do a new film very excited about.

#17770: TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JOHNNY CARSON, THE

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.

Guests: George Carlin, David Carradine, Jimmy Breslin, Kenny Rankin.
