remember when the host would light the guest's cigarettes?

John even did the weather report for the station's newscast (unforgivably, the videotape was not saved)

Heh. I see Ed McMahon, I guess Johnny was on one of his many nights off.
had to look it up, but the female host was pretty popular in later years (thats her on the far right):

The woman on the Tonight Show is the celebrated actress Tallulah Bankhead, star of Hitchcock's Lifeboat.
She had a rep for being a wild, non-conforming rebel, & John looked forward to meeting her. He was disappointed to learn she was now a cantankerous old woman, apparently drunk, who attacked him and the Beatles on the air.
Bankhead died a few months later

I knew some (home movie?) footage existed, as I saw it when I first heard about this story a while back
But my point stands: the videotape was not saved.

quote:IMDB identified Garagiola’s co-host as Walters, which didn’t look right to me - I believe you are correct, it does look more like Bankhead

here’s another shot from that same show which also misidentifies Bankhead as Walters
i assume whomever submitted this was swayed by the fact that both Garagiola and Waters were regulars on NBC’s Today and just assumed they tag-teamed on Tonight

I was 8 years old, had a chance to go see them at City Park Stadium in NOLA, but didn't go, still regret that! However, I can vouch for Beatlemania, it was insane! Saw the movie, 'Help!' at the show when it came out- the girls did not stop screaming the entire movie! Their influence was so widely felt and saw many a garage band formed in those days.

Hot Take: listening to "Something" rn and i’ve come to the conclusion that the song would be pretty forgettable if not for McCartney's harmonies
and i say this as someone who thinks George's contributions to their success are underrated

"Hey man, nobody said we were as good as Johnny Mercer." - Bob Dylan, 1980s
It’s interesting when the greats bump into each other, even if only acknowledging one or the other’s talents.
Song writer, sometimes actor Paul Williams was heading down a hall in a L.A. to a studio recording session and ran into Johnny Mercer in the hallway heading into a different studio.
Overwhelmed, Williams stopped Mercer, shook his hand, expressed his deep admiration and respect for his talents and body of work, and introduced himself.
Mercer thanked him and said he appreciated the kind words and walked into the studio he was working in that day. Williams walked away almost giddy towards his studio. Before he had gone too far he heard behind him a voice calling to him,
“Mr. Williams?”
Williams turned around.
Mercer was leaning out from his doorway.
“The Paul Williams who wrote What I’ve got they used to call the blues?”
“Yes.”
Mercer smiled, nodded, and went back inside.
And of course Paul Williams later won The Johnny Mercer award for songwriting.

Opener Jackie deshannon hosts a segment every morning on “breakfast with the Beatles” on XM18

I’ve been ruminating on why “free as a bird” grates on me while “now and then” makes me so happy. The tech advances notwithstanding I think it’s because the way they crafted the song makes it so clear that john is not there…the opening Harrison slide, the trading bridges with Paul and George, it all seems so cobbled together. None of that would have ever happened in a four man studio. John is a ghost in his own song.
“Now and then” though sounds like a Beatles song. John sings all the verses and the bridge and there’s no attempt to “highlight” any of the others. It’s sorcery what they were able to do, and it works.
So let’s forget the first attempt ever happened. “Now and Then” is a worthy last Beatles song

We lived a block from the park on General Haig. I was 10 and we climbed on the roof and could hear the screaming but no music.

I grew up listening to the Beatles (born in '81). Loved both the pop doo-wop stuff, but really got in to the later stuff, when I was a pre-teen (Sgt. Peppers and the Blue album).
Learning that Ringo sang "A Little Help From My Friends" was a little mind-blowing. He was always portrayed as the clown, and that is such a great song. Joe Cocker's rendition at Woodstock is absolutely amazing.
