On Monday, American Forces Network and Defense Imagery Management Operations Center officials presented Jeff Sotzing, Carson’s nephew and CEO of the Carson Entertainment Group, with a film reel containing clips of opening monologues and interviews of the “Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson dating back to 1963. “This is the first time anybody has seen these clips since they were broadcast,” said AFN Broadcast Center spokesman Larry Sichter. He noted that networks, in those times, used to record over programming once it was broadcast because tape was so expensive. Things changed on the “Tonight Show” in the early ’70s, when Carson asked to pull up old clips for a retrospective show and was told they had been recorded over. From that point on, Carson demanded that the shows be archived.' Edited October 13, 2012 by alocispepraluger102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 My sister once told me that someone, perhaps the Library of Congress, has the audio of all of those 60s shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasing the Korean Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I would like to see these released. But then again, where are all the shows from 1972 to 1992 that have apparently survived? It's not as if they've flooded cable with them. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Dave Garrett Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I would like to see these released. But then again, where are all the shows from 1972 to 1992 that have apparently survived? It's not as if they've flooded cable with them. Please correct me if I'm wrong. They've released some of them on various DVD collections, some containing full shows and some containing excerpts from shows.
