That's Robert Milli in the Alka-Setzer ad. My favorite part of Carson's run is seeing all the guests together, how they interact and how Carson interacts with them. Carson was aloof, yes, but there is never a suffocated feeling, which you get after Leno takes over. Lulu is dressed like she's in some sort of "naughty" Doctor Who adaptation.
So amazing to see Bill Cosby (long b4 his scandal) "conduct" this jazz-funk piece. 🎶 After almost 9 mins of promos & commercials, thanks for posting this piece of tv history.
Now, when did this air? I can't find it, looking through the newspaper archives. UPDATE: Found a listing in Dover, Ohio, but it doesn't list Lulu, and it also lists Flip Wilson, who I don't see here.
Not only that . . . but with THE EXACT SAME GRAPHICS AND TITLE SEQUENCE (and Walter Raim's theme music) as for "The 4:30 Movie" on WABC-7 in New York: th-cam.com/video/zfksiAUfQ6M/w-d-xo.html
This would have been around the time The Professor did the episodes of "The Hilarious House of Frightenstine" in Canada - which was shot the previous summer!
I've seen clips of one of her first appearances (with Barry Manilow as her piano player), but not sure about the whole show. NBC's policy was to wipe (erase) videotapes for reuse up until 1973 when Carson took over production of the show and had required NBC to save the tapes in the contract. If they exist, it would be as kinescopes.
Amazing time capsule. Thanks for posting!
November 26, 1970 - Carson was still based in New York with a couple of trips to Burbank each year at that point, this is one of the Burbank shows.

@@orbison - Jay Leno, however, did do a week's worth of shows in New York in 1994, didn't he also host from Chicago for a week?
@@orbison is it really taped in ny now in 2024?
That Norelco Santa commercial remains vivid in many minds all these years later.
What a marvelous find.I hope many more missing Johnny Carson episodes will be rediscovered and preserved.
It’s so cool to see Lulu singing this Simon and Garfunkel song at 20:54. She does a great job. Fun to watch. Thank you very much for posting this.

This aired in the last week of November 1970. At 8:17 there is an ad bumper for John Wayne's first TV special which aired on November 29th.

The only host I know that keeps all guests on the couch is Kelly Clarkson.
@@SamSanders072764 and they have nothing interesting to talk about like Mr. Carson's guests did.

9:35 After station break bumper with Doc and the NBC Orchestra! Epic! Thanks for sharing.
The KABC Movie theme song might not be memorable to L.A. but it's best remembered at WABC New York
Yep, channel 7 New York for their 4:30 Afternoon Movie
Nice to see an appearance from Lulu (One of the winners of the Eurovision Song Contest 1969) on The Tonight Show!
Always with old tape recordings like this it's the video part most suseptible to imperfections while the audio is fine and dandy.
Best TV ever.
The man in the AT&T commercial was George Rogers, who was an anchor on WMAR for a few years.
Thank you!!!!!!

Does TH-cam have a tracking setting?
11:40 Now that was some 1970 music peeps musta gotten high by
Do you have the full Austin City Limits episode from 1980? Mel Tillis and Gail Davies perform.
9:36 Doc and the NBC Orchestra sounded better than a finely tuned V-8. Thanks for sharing.
Just curious to know, is the irregular video tracking due to antenna drifting or due to the age of recording?

Tech question for you, how to manage to eliminate those damned drops on the tape? Or, "it is what it is?"
sorry very old tape on Reel to Reel
I was 5 months old when this aired. And Bill Cosby music is only what you would use for film! But LULU was so HOT! MMMM
I wish I could buy a Mercedez for $8,000
Do the early Bette Midler / Tonight Shows exist? (1970 - 1972)
I've seen clips of one of her first appearances (with Barry Manilow as her piano player), but not sure about the whole show. NBC's policy was to wipe (erase) videotapes for reuse up until 1973 when Carson took over production of the show and had required NBC to save the tapes in the contract. If they exist, it would be as kinescopes.
Although Bill Cosby was a bad person he was a hilarious comedian.
Erniw Watts on the sax solo
Cosby roofied the band after the show
Surprised nobody's pointed this out but the first six or seven minutes is a bunch of nonsense and is KABC not NBC.
Not the tonight show
Cosby composed it while spiking a poor victims drink. I know thats harsh but he is, who he is. He has become very unfunny.
PIC QUALITY....???
Old videotape that wasn't preserved very well.
