She acts like a character. Her cat also thinks so.

The commercials yuck

Really great to see this. I had seen just the wedding previously but never the whole episode it was taken from. Thanks for posting!

The economics of TV were obviously very different then. The show made enough money to pay a 17-piece band to work maybe half an hour a day, wow.

It was always treat to stay up lste on a Friday and watch Johnny. Especially crazy when Rickles, Newhart or Dean Martin stopped by.

Is this one of the lost episodes that nbc failed to preserve?

Freddy Prinze was only 19 at the time .

Had just turned 14, loved the band.

Freddy Prinze. 6 floor run up. Went right over everyone's head.

Had just turned 15 at this time. Rarely missed a show.

Great upload! Thanks!

Are Tiny Tim and Miss Vicky, still married?

Diane Keaton was delightful. A good singer, too. RIP Sammy, the world's greatest entertainer. Freddie - who'd a thunk it within 3 years he'd be dead of an over-dose of bullets to the head. He seemed so up-beat and positive but in reality was meloncholy and depressed, on drugs, couldn't handle fame, being just a kid.

Johnny Carson did Conan O’Brien’s little string dance.

1:17:25😂Louie Bellson ❤

You gott that dam doll today ,you're rich😅

The young ones will never know . This shit is still funny 🤣

Johnny is thinking whose show is this yours or mine , Elaine look on his face

I’ve never seen Johnny go after a guest like this. Was fun to watch him and guests take turns. Lol

@3:25 AT THAT TEMP I DON'T WANT MY PESKY TO "MELT"....

Hedda was 78 when she appeared on this show. For the early 60's at that age is amazing

Thanks for sharing. How did you find this episode with original commercials?? Do you have more 1973 episodes from October, November or December???

And how wonderful for Johnny to book Tiny Tim's main inspiration, the incomparable guitarist and singer Nick Lucas. He was a huge star and sang the original hit version of "Tulips" in Gold Diggers of Broadway, 1929.

Band and Doc are *cooking* on "Aquarius" at 54:00. Those days of TV with incredible live music are sorely missed.

Johnny Carson was such a natural in front of the camera. He set the bar so high for the other late night hosts that followed, none have come close to replicating his magic. The Tonight Show was an American institution. Everybody watched.

“siphoning gas”……oil embargo reference (Yom Kippur war). USA economy took a nosedive with skyrocketing gas prices and rationing at gas stations.

This badly needs both (separate) audio and video remastering. I wish I could get in on it!

When the priest first came out I so thought it was John Cleese.

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.

Did you notice it wasn’t trashing his political foes, but making fun of the times he was a part of. Back when late night TV was an escape from reality, not an an indoctrination of trashing people you hate.

great laughs

florence henderson singing just blew me away

Great but you should have adjusted the out of sync timing.

What a find !!! NBC erased most of these early Carson shows, unfortunately due to a video tape shortage. Thanks !!! 👍👍👍👍

Good Days

Stritch is terrible what a bad performance in this episode. Never understood what people saw in this woman as an entertainer.

Tin foil on the rabbit ears📺

First time I ever cried at a wedding - Tiny Tim and Miss Vickie! Gawd we were so innocent then...

Great stereo mix on the band!

Those wide lapels!

My 8th birthday

In some ways, the show changed very little in thirty years. But then, why mess with perfection?

Why I’m watching this video , at the 11th PM hour , 52 years later, Biden, Trump, the lousy tonight shows now, Ukraine etc

Thanks! Love the lack of efiting, the extra music.

Can you tell me a little about the source of this episode? Is this from 2" Quad? The audio seems too good for a kinescope.

Much later, Elaine Stritch would say she dated Rock Hudson, and if you think about it, it makes perfect sense; I believe her.

I didn't know Julianne Moore was interviewed by Johnny Carson back then.

1:13:25 yes, come over and sit down, Freddie! The moment every young comic savored: the coronation from King John of Burbank. And check out the band number later on featuring many musicians who’d stay with Doc to the end of Carson’s tenure.

What a treat to see this show!
