At the time I viewed this, this was recorded 51 years ago. Johnny is gone, ED is gone, and the only surviving band member is Doc. Most of the people in the audience when Johnny went to play stump the band are dead or very old if the are still alive. Time flies by. Live life to the fullest no matter what!!
Yes time does fly by fast. He did the show from 1962-1992, 30 years. He retired in 1992, now 2024, 32 years ago......... he has been retired longer than his show ran.
@@photomanwilliams4147 That retirement still ended 2005, when he died. You said that he has been retired longer than his show ran when it actually lasted 13 years.
@@deborahhighfill5970 Hi Deborah. It’s not the song during Ed’s narration of the guests - that’s the same. But listen to the song right after Ed says, “Heeeere’s Johnny!” When Johnny walks out, it’s a different song!
Here’s the movie version from 1949: th-cam.com/video/x7CIgWZTdgw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=v1-T_-OWktVEEgfs If you have kids, this version might be familiar as well: th-cam.com/video/dhvokJGP9AU/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
The New York audience was definitely more rowdy. It's boggles the mind that there only 12 complete Tonight Show episodes before Johnny made the move to LA
Very entertaining show. I looked up Teddy Kollek. He was mayor until 1993, serving a total of 28 years. And he died at the age of 95 in 2007, outliving Johnny by about 2 years.
I know this may sound odd to consider, but in thinking like the way George Carlin did, the dog commercial shown early in this video made me think that perhaps the nutritional value in that dog food from way back then, exceeds in value of what us humans are eating nowdays.
Now, it’s 52 years ago, I’m 73 and have help to care for some of the things I can no longer handle alone. Never though it would happen, as it has, but I’m thankful to my Heavenly Father, for the Blessings I’ve received in my life, and some of the people I’ve been blessed to know and love. And time keeps on passing along, ticking by. 🙏🦋🙏🦋🙏
@@andyrose5616 - After this set, they'd only do one more 3-week block of shows in NYC - May 7-25, 1973. After that, no, Johnny and co. never did do any further New York "road" shows.
Some of it had, but not all. On the episode posted with buddy rich, when you see buddy sitting in with the band, the original late 60s rainbow colored background is still there. I guess they only updated the main stage background.
I never knew how insufferable that John Lindsay was, sheesh. And were there any shows from this era where McMahon wasn’t completely trashed out of his mind?
My dad, as a junior high kid, met John Lindsay in the mid-'60s with his Boy Scout troop. He remembers Mr. Mayor as being charming, warm, and congenial with the youngsters, though I don't doubt this was a facade he reserved for visiting Boy Scout troops, and that the real, behind-the-scenes Lindsay was a very different animal from his public persona. There's a reason the adjective "two-faced" is often applied to politicians!

This is the first time I’ve heard a different song when Johnny comes out!
What song did you hear? I am 67 and it is the only one I have ever heard.

Oh, okay l see what you mean. Is that from a movie, or is it music from Israel??? 🤔
The song is “New York, New York,” from the 1944 musical, “On the Town.” Music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green.

God bless you
What a great show! Thats entertainment
The first of a three-week "road trip" of the first back to New York since Johnny moved "The Tonight Show" to Burbank.
Ed did a low-down thing when they moved - divorced his wife so he could go to LA unattached and pick up women.
And, despite what Johnny said, they would never do the show in NY again.

@@HMMELDevidence?
The evidence is called video tape.
Never get so old that you can't take your enemies with you.
What ?
I love the new York shows
❤very memorable show thank you
That was crazy to hear the highest crime rates in 1972 was Denver! Just seems so odd.
Maybe they meant the highest altitude wise! lol
I like this backdrop and the first Burbank one
Always like the show more in NYC than Burbank.
Wow and with opening titles, more pls
Love hearing Ed do the intros
The girls who did The Blob are delightful
Back in NYC.
I could tell that the comic was not going to be invited to sit next to Johnny's desk.
The new wife for Johnny, was Mrs. Carson no. 3
That backdrop looks like something from a high-school play. I guess his earlier New York set had been trashed.
It’s the 70’s and NBC. What’s to be expected?
Some of it had, but not all. On the episode posted with buddy rich, when you see buddy sitting in with the band, the original late 60s rainbow colored background is still there. I guess they only updated the main stage background.
That was the last background before the move in 1972.
Did Mayor Lindsey really give Florence Henderson CRAPS?
CRABS!
