NBC’s RARE Gift To Carson On His 10th “Tonight” Anniversary


Thanks to Glenn Mack, here is a clip (linked above) you have probably never seen…I know I hadn’t until now. This is from the 10th Anniversary show on October 1, 1972. There is more video from this celebration with Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, Joey Bishop, George Burns, Jack Benny and more at the link below.

I’m not going to tell you what the gift is, but here is a clue…there were three of these in each RCA TK41. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

    Here’s an excellent Johnny Carson fan page. We are up to over 1300 members. We talk all about Johnny, Ed, Doc and the Antenna TV Johnny Carson shows. https://www.facebook.com/groups/702337593204454/

    And you directed me to Kliph’s website, a wonder of its own I’ve been following for years.

    I remember that show. Even back then Carson was grousing about the erased video tapes of the earlier shows.

    “I did not know that!”

    Fun clip. I wonder who has the gift now.

    Couldn’t help notice Jerry Lewis turning his back on the NBC brass.
