Features the famous lost episode Return to Studio One. The stuff of showbiz legend, this famous "lost" episode of The Tonight Show (most of the tapes from the first 10 years of The Tonight Show were accidentally erased) defines the essence of live television. It is a kind of magic that can't be rehearsed, recycled, or reproduced, but thanks to this recent discovery, we can now return to Studio One to witness Johnny and his guests working witout a net. Originally recorded on two-inch videotape, the show was later transferred to film for broadcast on the Armed Forces Network. It was this film version that was eventually tracked down and identified among 10,000 Tonight Show tapes 54 stories underground in a working salt mine somewhere in the middle of Kansas. This show has not been seen since its original broadcast on March 6, 1969.

This classic episode is considered by many as one of the most hilarious in TV history. In March of 1969, Carson took the show on the road from its home in New York to Burbank, California. On this particular night, Johnny and his guests had no idea what was in store for them when Bob Hope and Dean Martin decided to drop in announced, and stole the show. The spontaneous and unrehearsed antics that followed are now a part of show business history.

• Deseret Book?s First Catalog, 1922
Deseret Book: the publisher we love to hate. Well, don?t we? For generations Deseret Book has published books and other materials unique to our culture that no mainstream publisher would have touched ? we love them. We don?t like much of what they sell, and they won?t publish much that we would like ? we hate them. But like our sometimes generous uncles or too-kissy aunts, Deseret Book is ours, a member of the family, and we keep running into her whenever the family gets together. Deseret Book • Searching the pictures of Life
Google recently did an awesome thing by unlocking the vaults at Life and giving everyone access to their complete catalog of pictures. So we here at the Popcorn Trick decided it would be cool to occasionally search through them, giving them a whole new audience. This week's search I figured I would make it something that's near and dear to our hearts and seek out some cool music images, predominantly of some influential, iconic bands. Actually, I was truly inspired by this photo of the Zappas, • A flood of Hometown Favorites
The second hour of yesterday's Midday show was a reprise of the Hometown Favorites special we did in August -- with people who grew up in various parts of the country describing the treat they missed the most from back home. WYPR listeners made some great contributions to our growing list of hometown faves. (And one of them, Elise from Mount Washington, came over to the station to taste the Blue Bell Ice Cream we had shipped in from Texas!) Here's a healthy selection of the e-mail we received d • What's Up With That: Burbank Smells Like Death?
What's Up With That? attempts to answer your queries about the odd LA landscape. Send questions to the mailbox. That's odd. No one mentioned "death" as the overwhelming scent of Burbank the last time we discussed neighborhood odors. Yet a reader feels he can no longer drive through Johnny Carson's favorite hood without commenting on the l'eau de mort he seems to be bathing in: "I've been holding back on emailing in this question, but I can go no longer without asking for help. Have any of yo • What's On Tonight: UConn Women; Steve Martin on '30 Rock'
When Larry Rifkin is on CPTV it's usually as a spokesman during pledge times. Tonight, he'll be seen in a different light, as a drummer in a band of middle-aged rockers. The trend is nothing new: Those raised on rock finally find themselves with the money and time to fulfill their dreams by forming bands with their buddies. In Rifkin's case, he's joined with Haig Papasian of West Hartford, Steve Mendick of Hamden, Antony Casagrane of Wolcott to form Boom, which plays 60s oldies and a few orig
