Classic Carson is Coming Soon

[DeeDub]

I just read an article reporting that Joanne Carson, Johnny's second wife, has 10 of the episodes of his first talk show, The Johnny Carson Show, circa 1955–1956. She's planning to release them on DVD.

Excellent news! It's such a shame that most of Johnny's shows from the 1960s got recorded over and lost, but it's wonderful that some of his older shows were preserved.

Hard to believe that Leno's been on for nearly fifteen years, and he's already planning on retiring.

Tony, KDOC UHF 56 runs edited versions of the Carson shows mostly about 11PM on various nights. They go only 1/2 hour but are the usually the best segments from a show.
