#14086: "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?"
Order1963-05-11, WNEW, min.
A satire on current news and events. A group of young iconoclasts takes over for a half-hour of far-out satire. Their targets are anything that needs to be deflated, poked at, pulled apart, or stripped of pretension. The show is based on a current BBC program "That Was The Week That Was" (or TWTWTW") which has created quite a stir in England. Like "TWTWTW" 'WGOH" searches the current scene for its material. The show is the product of the whimsically named South Sea Trading Company, which is composed of Clay Felker and Jean Vanden Heuvel, co-producers, Jonathan Miller director (Beyond The Fringe") and performers Peter Cook, ("Beyond The Fringe") John Bird, (The Establishment") Roger W. Bowen and MacIntyre Dixon, (Second City"), and Pat McCormick, (comedy writer and actor. The group is hopeful that a series will develop from Tonight's program. An experimental special program that takes an audacious comic-satirical look at the news and current happenings.

Glenn Ford is roasted. George Jessel emcees this hour variety roast series featuring testimonials to guests of honor. This syndicated series aired from September 15, 1968 to March 9, 1969. Reruns ran through March 1, 1970.1969-01-01, NBC, min.
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: Godfrey Cambridge, Pat McCormick, and Alejandro Rey. NOTE: This specific TONIGHT SHOW may only contain an opening monologue by Johnny Carson. Other content, as listed, will have to be monitored and confirmed upon your order request.#3011: HERE COME THE STARS

April 12, 1976 - July 23, 1976 (76 first run episodes) September 18, 1976 - February 26, 1977 (19 first run episodes) (Re-runs beginning in February 29, 1977 to September 11, 1977) Break the Bank had two separate runs on American television. The first was as a daily series that aired from April 12 to July 23, 1976, on ABC, airing at 2:30 p.m. Eastern/1:30 Central. Although the series was popular, the network canceled it in order to expand the soap operas One Life to Live and General Hospital, both of which followed it on the daytime schedule, from 30 minutes to 45 minutes. The show quickly returned as a weekly syndicated game from September 18, 1976, to September 11, 1977. The ABC daytime series had 76 episodes, including the 3/23 and 5/20 pilots. The syndicated series had 24 episodes with 5 of them being rerun. The last episode for the entire series was on February 26, 1977, with reruns airing until September 11th of that year. In 1994, GSN added Break the Bank to their lineup. This continued until 1997, and since then, no episodes from the series have been broadcast on television again. Currently, 17 episodes from the original Tom Kennedy series and 3 episodes from the syndicated Jack Barry series have been uploaded and steam on YouTube. NOTE: complete with all commercials.
