Johnny Carson In NBC’s Studio 6B…
This photo is from March 8, 1972. This would be from the last days of the ‘Tonight’ show with Johnny hosting from New York. The show began in Burbank on May 1, 1972, but I think Johnny actually left for LA in early April and had guest hosts and some reruns to bridge the gap. I have heard that Ed McMahon actually hosted the last week of the show from New York, but am not certain. Anyone know more? Any ‘Tonight’ veterans among us? Got stories?
What a great shot!
Would it be totally cool if Jimmy Fallon did just one Tonight show from the Hudson Theater, the home of Steve Allen’s Tonight Show? The theater is still there.
That’s JP Morgan as a guest. The photo is from a TV Guide story I’ve seen.
