RARE 1974 Doris Day interview on All-New DVD set of “The Tonight Show” starring Johnny Carson
December 3, 2010 5 CommentsAn all-new 15-Disc DVD collection has just been released in the USA featuring over 30 hours of timeless entertainment from Johnny Carson’s legendary late night talk show “The Tonight Show”. The deluxe boxset contains 56 shows that have never before been released to DVD each hand-selected by an original Producer of the show as the “Best Episodes”.
Of great interest to Doris Day fans will be the inclusion of an extremely rare interview, from the 2 September 1974, that the Hollywood star gave the show before bowing out from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood life. The divine Doris appears for about 5 minutes at the desk chatting along to Johnny on Episode 9 of the set. For those not wishing to splash out on the cost of the entire boxset you can click the following links to purchase Doris Day’s appearance on digital download or a single DVD disc (the latter retails for approx. $13USD).
The extensive boxset contains shows spanning from 1965 to 1990 and features a wealth of other top notch superstars such as Woody Allen, Bette Midler, Burt Reynolds, Frank Sinatra, Olivia Newton-John, Bill Cosby and Bob Hope to name just a few.

It says I cannot download this show as I am not in the USA
You are quite right. Non-USA people can not download the appearance but can purchase the single DVD disc if they have an NTSC compatible DVD player.
That was a great show with Doris Day on it. Those were the golden years of television for sure.
Doris only appears for five minutes on all of the Tonight Show’s interviews?
Did I read that correctly?
Thank you for replies.
Yes. The DVD set contains just highlights from the show that Doris was on. Not the complete interview which was originally broadcast.
