HarryCarter Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 This is fantastic news! There should be a place where old talk shows can be rerun. I'd love to see Dinah, Mike Douglas, and Merv Griffin shows run some place. Here is information about the TCM deal and the list of celebrity interviews that will be included: Turner Classic Movies has licensed 50 of Johnny Carson’s “Tonight” show interviews from the Carson Entertainment Group – including chats with some brighter bygone stars in the Hollywood firmament: Bette Davis, James Stewart, Fred Astaire, William Holden, Gregory Peck, Gene Kelly, Henry Fonda, etc. TCM previously ran a series of Dick Cavett talk show interviews, with Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Robert Mitchum, Alfred Hitchcock, etc. – which went on sale as a DVD collection. Cavett was writer for Carson, as well as “Tonight” show’s second host Jack Paar, before landing his own talk show Anyway, many of the interviews in “Carson on TCM” have not aired since they first premiered on NBC. Unlike Jay Leno, Carson owned the rights to his “Tonight” show broadcasts, not NBC. “Carson on TCM” also will include an interview with Truman Capote, who had some pointed things to say about Hollywood stars. And yes, TCM’s current “The Essentials” co-host Drew Barrymore will be included in the lineup – at age 7. None of her more-talented thespian ancestors, though -- sadly. The project was pitched to TCM by Peter Jones, who also produced PBS’s docu “Johnny Carson: King of Late Night,” and Carson Entertainment Group prez Jeff Sotzing. On TCM, Carson will be seen interviewing: Don Adams Julie Andrews Fred Astaire Lauren Bacall Lucille Ball Drew Barrymore Jack Benny Candice Bergen Carol Burnett George Burns Mel Brooks Michael Caine Truman Capote Chevy Chase Sean Connery Bing Crosby Tony Curtis Bette Davis Sammy Davis Jr. Doris Day Dom DeLuise Angie Dickinson Kirk Douglas Sally Field Henry Fonda Goldie Hawn Charlton Heston William Holden Bob Hope Diane Keaton Gene Kelly Jack Lemmon Steve Martin Dudley Moore Mary Tyler Moore Gregory Peck Tony Randall Ronald Reagan Burt Reynolds Susan Sarandon George C. Scott Arnold Schwarzenegger Neil Simon Red Skelton Sylvester Stallone James Stewart Elizabeth Taylor Robin Williams Jonathan Winters Shelley Winters My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desilufan2 Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I really hope these interviews are put together on DVD. For the life of me I can not understand why the Carson estate has not put these classics out sooner. For a long time much of the old stuff was just being repackaged. Drove me crazy! I wonder which interviews with Lucy they will be showing. Does anyone have any specific moment they remember that they would like to see again?

I want to see the Carson show with Desi Sr. in which he talks about what Lucy and him did in bed together or whatever he said about their sex life. I wonder if Lucy was ever embarassed when Desi would air their dirty bidnazz like that. LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I wonder if Lucy was ever embarassed when Desi would air their dirty bidnazz like that.

Taylor Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 WOW. When did Lucy say that? Probably after the last time Lucie got pregnant. She had 3 of his kids and he had 2 older boys from his first marriage. Perhaps Lucy thought he was just too damn fertile. LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone here remember Desi's appearances on the tonight show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I've seen Desi's 1976 appearance with Johnny to promote A Book. I have absolutely no recollection of this topic being discussed. Desi was on the show in 1971 and 1972 with Johnny, but those tapes no longer exist. I believe Desi was also on with McLean Stevenson as guest host in 1976. I'm not sure when the Joan Rivers episode (seen in Lucy & Desi: A Home Movie) was. I don't know if any other Desi appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not own the rights to the programs in the collection, so they are not online or available any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO Lucy was always saying things that maybe were private and should not be aired on tv, but mostly it was about her kids, nothing really bad. Of course her personal opinions, she never shyed away from those. Like when she said she wanted to kill Marlon Brando for doing that sex and butter scene in Last Tango in Paris, LOL!

I don't think Lucy will be on in August either. August is TCM's "Summer Under the Stars" month and Lucy is not one of the people in the lineup this year. Hopefully September!
