The Tonight Show 6/13/69 - Stan Freberg, Dana Valery, Joan Rivers, Jim Fowler. NOTE: folks really seem to like this video. Alas I DO NOT know where it originally came from. A DVD of it was given to me a long time ago for Christmas. I wish I could tell you more!

    Wow! This is very rare. It’s a black and white kinescope and likely the only copy of this episode as NBC wiped the videotapes before Carson started paying to store them in late 1972. Thanks so much for sharing this rare gem with us 👍

    This truly is an AWESOME gem! Finding early episodes of Johnny's show, especially those from the 1960's, are extremely rare. Thanks for the upload!
  • Nell, thank you so much for going through the hassle of posting this. This is priceless.
  • Makes one almost cry to watch those wonderful musicians when they were so young and we actually remember physically watching this show. Doc was the world's best. Loved those magnificent guys. Beautiful!!!!

    This is a rare gem, since about 99% of the New York shows (1962-1972) were erased.

    Doc Severinsen is still around at 94. Must be really cool for him to be able to watch himself perform like this from more than half a century ago.. Wonder if he wishes he could just project himself into the video and be there playing that again?

    Johnny Carson is the absolute KING of late night! I was 4 years old when this episode aired. It's incredible to me that Johnny had a 30 year run and it's been 31 years since he retired.

    I wish they never erased those tapes. Johnny looks so young here never got to see him on the air he retired the year i was born
  • @sdcafunnyguru
    I'm guessing this kinescope was sent for viewing by U.S. troops on Armed Forces Television at bases overseas, since the commercials were cut out.
  • @MrJoeybabe25
    This is so fabulous! Thank you! I search for Paar and Carson all of the time. Thanks for this upload!

    This show is a rare gem. You know what I’ve noticed about this show, Johnny was a little tipsy tonight. Not drunk, just I can tell, he’s had a few. I loved the female singer Dana Valery.
