Each DVD contains full shows?including commercials?highlighting some of the most cherished moments from 30 years of The Tonight Show.
DISC 1?Steve Martin
Arguably the best thing that ever happened to young Steve Martin was being temporarily banished as a Tonight Show guest in 1972. Martin was an Emmy-winning writer (The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour) but hadn?t worked up quite enough material for himself. Invited back later as a guest host, a more polished Martin clicked.
July 21, 1976: Steve Martin, Jimmy Stewart, Karen BlackMay 21, 1982: Steve Martin, Sylvester Stallone December 19, 1991: Steve Martin, Cathy Ladman, Leon Redbone
DISC 2?Robin Williams
Robin Williams took pleasure in stumping the host with his utter unpredictability and free-association riffs. Williams? bits ranged across the social spectrum, bouncing off the latest fads and fashions along with ego-deflating commentary about the day?s newsmakers. Johnny could not have been having a better time or been more in awe at the comedic juggernaut.
April 3, 1984: Robin Williams, Phyllis Newman January 10, 1991: Robin Williams, Steve Lawrence September 19, 1991: Robin Williams, Jonathan Winters, Park Overall
DISC 3?Eddie Murphy
Three appearances over a span of seven months in 1982 illustrate Eddie Murphy?s vault to superstardom. His debut occurred less than halfway into his first full Saturday Night Live season; by his third appearance, he had become a breakout star, released his Grammy-nominated debut album, and was shooting his first movie.
January 1, 1982: Eddie Murphy, McLean Stevenson February 10, 1982: Eddie Murphy, Wayne Rogers, Albert Hague July 30, 1982: Eddie Murphy, Randall ?Tex? Cobb, Angela Bofill
WHY BUY?
3-DVD set features the best TONIGHT SHOW episodes featuring comic legends Steve Martin, Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy. Robin Williams appeared on the show nine times, and each time it was comedy magic. His first appearance in 1981 was legendary, as he won Johnny over with his trademark manic energy and stream-of-consciousness lunacy. Today Eddie Murphy is an American icon who has been making us laugh for 35 years but in 1982 his rocket to superstardom was just beginning to take off. After watching the shows included on this volume it's apparent that trip was unstoppable.Steve Martin was more than "just a wild and crazy guy," he was also a favorite guest of Johnny Carson. Steve made frequent appearances on show starting in 1972 and continuing until it ended in 1992.Nine full programs, including commercials--over 8 hours of entertainment!Backed by a full DRTV campaign.« less
