I missed it tonight...did they really show it uncut and unedited? And did they show it with the split screen? And did they crunch the credits?

Will have to move my antenna around and see if I can get this show.

Johnny Carson was a family favorite.

One fun thing is that only two guests were listed, but there was a third who didn't get on because they ran long, and Johnny referred to her a couple times during the show. I guess if they leave that in they're not cutting much content.

What they used to do on the Tonight Show was if a guest was bumped because they ran out of time they would cut the audio of Ed McMahon saying the person's name during the introductions when the show was broadcast. That happened rather frequently. Johnny didn't like to bring someone out and not give them what he considered a fair amount of time.

Yea, I noticed too the opening was different, not the original one. I missed the end of the show but I was wondering if that third guest ever made it on because time was starting to run short.

No, the 3rd guest was bumped from the show and didn't appear.

Was there a musicians strike in the 70s? On Sunday night's show Johnny made references to the band not being available.

From episodes I've seen here and there on Youtube, it looks like they kept a lot of footage from the original intro, and made it as close to that as possible. I love that they kept the "More to Come" bumpers.

Really weird that NBC made them change the name.

Do they crunch the credits on Carson?

The opening credits, they don't. They don't really have end credits.

Enjoying it so far but I thought they were going to show them in order? Every time I've watched it's been a different year.

Ahhh ok thanks. That makes sense.
