Did they actually call you? http://news.yahoo.com/carsons-tonight-highlights-now-available-online-122001128.html ************************ For the first time, content from "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" is available for digital download. Starting Tuesday, two volumes of material from the King of Late Night can be purchased from the iTunes store. A compilation edition (priced at $14.99) includes highlights... A second volume ($19.99) features 16 "Tonight" episodes with some of Carson's favorite guests... Roughly half the material has never been available before in any form of home video, "Sotzing, a former "Tonight" producer (and Carson's nephew), drew on past experience assembling the "Tonight" anniversary shows in culling material for the new releases....And there's plenty more to come. His dream: to put every show online for instant download. It's an achievable goal, he said, though a slew of legal clearances remain before it can happen. Meanwhile, visitors to iTunes can expect to find the current Carson content supplemented by more "Tonight" clips as often as each month, Sotzing said. "We just want to see how much demand there is for these first releases," he said." -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
