Why only show selected episode fragments? Why not every entire episode?
Surely this would make more $$$ than hoping people order DVDs from late night infomercials? Plus, anyone old enough to be interested in seeing them again will be dying off soon.
So many historically significant guests over the decades. It's a shame they'll probably just end up sitting in a vault somewhere until there's no one left to give a damn.
It seemed like whole episodes of Carson were on Pluto
yeah i wish there was more shows from the past easily available. i think it's probably just very complex.
I watched episodes of Dick Cavett a while back on Amazon Prime UK so it's probably a question of money. YouTube needs to pay for the rights.
Oh man, I uploaded a bunch of old public-domain old TV shows for a youtube educational channel and got a copyright violation for just one of them. It was because in one 5-minute scene, a couple was watching a scary show on TV, and there was eerie music playing in the background. That generic-sounding tune is what had the copyright claim on it.
YouTube copyright claim is so funny. I wanted to put up a fanedit of airplane 2 (basically I took out all of the jokes that were just repeats from Airplane and ended up with a funnier -I think anyway- 60 minute version) and got copyright striked for... 7 minutes in the middle, the only part they noticed was from airplane 2, not the rest of the movie including the paramount logo and title
Funny isn’t the word I would use. More like, “complete bullshit.” They’ll turn a blind eye to obviously pirated content, but then cease and desist someone over five seconds of a song on the radio in the background.
Carson, Conan, and Letterman post clips. It's harder to post full episodes due to issues like music rights. Not just musical performances but also some of the music the band will play. That's why sometimes you'll see random fadeouts in the clips they already upload.
Antenna TV plays full Carson episodes, but often replace music and musical acts.

I watch those sometimes. The musical acts by guests are usually totally edited out.
I also own a few different Carson mega-sets on DVD. The music is usually intact there (leading to higher costs), but there are also cheaper releases with few discs (1 to 3) with the same music edits as the TV airings on Antenna.
What channel? Curious on checking out what you uploaded.
Have you considered piracy?
Are you ready to commit to watching an hour or an hour and a half of a talk program where there a two people you don't give a fuck about are guests and finally someone you do care about shows up 45 minutes into the program. If you have Zsa Zsa Gabor, Joey Hetherton and then Muhamed Ali shows up late in the program you might be less inclined to watch. So, chop it up into small segments and you get more views.
Some of that shit is ridiculous you can't show musical numbers if someone is doing watch of an old movie when the entire musical number has been posted by someone else 7 years ago.
The high school where I work streams our basketball games on YouTube or Facebook sometimes but we have to remind the camera person to make sure there's no sound because the music playing during the warm-ups or halftime triggers the copyright thing and knocks down the stream

I assume those musical acts are removed so they can air more commericals. Antenna TV is notorious for excessively long commercial blocks.
Late night is weird because it’s this one ubiquitous part of pop culture history that you just can’t really ever educate yourself on if you weren’t there for it. Like I can listen to every Bob Dylan recording and watch every episode of every Star Trek and pick up on all the references to both. But I will never have more than a vague awareness when something references a famous Johnny Carson bit or moment.
