    I was 10 years old, living in the Chicago suburbs & my parents let me stay up past my bedtime & watch the historic wedding of Tiny Tim and Miss Vickie😂🎊🎉❤️

    Every wedding should have a Pepto-Bismol commercial just before the service begins.

    Soft and fresh as Spring! Salem Menthol cigarettes! I love the old ads. Love the old Carson Episodes!

    Doc Severinsen is incredible. Just incredible. I've been listening to him on the horn several times the last few days. If not the greatest, he's up there. 54:07

    Great share and thanks for posting! These appear to be original broadcast masters, without the local TV commercials or interruptions. Glad that someone seems to have saved these from destruction!

    Mrs. Miller counted all the tulips before the show. This is such an awesome find!
  • @NYfan2004
    This is amazing! Hopefully we get the 12-31-1969 episode too in the future! Along with other New Year’s Eve Carson shows, as those have the Times Square ball drop in them

    Thank-you for sharing this. It was the most watched Television show of 1969 minus man's first walk on the moon.
  • It’s a crime that they erased so many of the 60s Tonight Show episodes.
  • @hi-railhardin

    This happened 3 years before I was born. But I've heard since I was a kid about this legendary episode. What a find! Props to Rinks for uploading it.

    I remember that Salem cigarette commercial! "You can take Salem out of the country BUT... you can't take the country out of Sa-lem." Haha.

    If you could possibly find the episode from October 1, 1969 ~ one of the most desirable episodes of the past I'd love to see w/ Dean Martin & Don Rickles

    This is so awesome! Thanks so much for sharing this one. Amazing find here. The New York episodes are very rare, especially complete like this one.
