U.S. Steel Hour: "Queen of the Orange Bowl" (1/13/1960)

[@AmericasChoice]

Johnny was just good enough of an actor to become the greatest talkshow host ever.

[@AmericasChoice]

Frank McHugh is always great.

[@miapdx503]

Silly and contrived...but thank you for the upload. I really like the actors.

[@itsgleneaton4883]

Anne Francis is wonderful as usual and that Johnny wasn’t a bad actor. It’s a good thing he wasn’t a little better or we really would have missed out.

[@waylonemiliano7724]

I guess it is kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released series online?

[@trippbryson6033]

@Waylon Emiliano meh I watch on flixportal. Just google for it :) -tripp

[@waylonemiliano7724]

@Tripp Bryson thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it!

[@trippbryson6033]

@Waylon Emiliano you are welcome xD

[@jublicqohnp.61]

A mere two years later, he's hosting the show that would catapult him into worldwide and permanent fame. Amazing.

[@friendlier]

The always wonderful and strange Elizabeth Wilson! And... good lord, Al Lewis!

[@AmericasChoice]

1972 Tony Award winner Elizabeth Wilson.

[@catherineerwin8269]

I didn’t know what to expect from this presentation. But, it’s surprisingly funny & cute. The acting was good & Johnny was pretty good too!

[@shyamdevadas6099]

This is incredible! I wish more people saw this.

[@sethhalpern3375]

It's hard to believe Johnny Carson was a national institution for thirty years, the culture has changed so much.

[@waldolydecker8118]

Carson found his niche in "Tonight." He wasn't nearly as good in at least a half dozen other shows I've seen him in. He's mediocre here as well; but then, so is the script.

[@rentslave]

Roe v Wade ruined the USA by reducing the number of quality people being born.

[@tomdooley4226]

"found his niche"? That's the understatement of a century! 😅

[@paulpitt52]

The great Frank McHugh too!!

[@itsgleneaton4883]

I keep waiting for Johnny to say we’ll be right back after these messages.

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

Or to close out a scene with the 'golf swing'!

[@crystalheart9]

We don't ever have to see her again :D What a great show, I really enjoyed it. Usually these can be sad but this was so fun and a great ending too.

[@stevensica89]

Wow! What a find. I had no idea that Carson ever appeared in scripted programs. I wonder if Jack Parr watched this?

[@fromthesidelines]

Johnny filled in for Jack as early as 1958.

[@jjryan1352]

You can see the basis for the Pittsburgh Steelers logo at the start.

[@wmbrown6]

Does anyone who know the great voices of yesterday, know who voiced the YMCA PSA around 59:15? It does sound like Art Hannes V/O'd the "Twilight Zone" promo (having heard his voice on so many 1960-62 "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollars").

[@Rob_Kates]

Thanks for posting. I had no idea that Johnny did this. He was not known for his scripted roles.

[@fromthesidelines]

He also appeared in another "STEEL HOUR" production that spring: "The Girl in the Gold Bathtub" [May 4, 1960], opposite Jessie Royce Landis and Marisa Pavan.

[@fromthesidelines]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@douglasiannucci5853]

"Huh? What wuzzat? Speak up, can't hear you! Huh? Eh? "

[@daniellack3559]

I'm surprised that Johnny never played at least some clips from this performance on the Tonight Show some time...maybe a rights issue...it surely would have been interesting especially in the 80s to see a very young Carson...

[@alanms07]

Why no volume?

[@fromthesidelines]

57:38- "This is BUD COLLYER, inviting you........." Incidentally, Johnny occasionally appeared as a panelist from 1960 through '62.

[@robertlandonijr2481]

at 46:34 , something fall over ? Ahh, live tv.

[@susanhorton9492]

DO YOU HAVE THE SOLDIER RAN AWAY ?

[@JJJBRICE]

This begs a question : Did Anne Francis or any of this cast ever appear on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson ?

[@tomdooley4226]

Heeeere's Johnny!

[@DavidWalensa-n5o]

Early show for Johnny Carson d W.

[@samhallzero]

Any chance of putting up "The Miracle Worker" from Playhouse 90 and "Big Deal in Laredo" from the DuPont Show, both of which were made into celebrated films. Thanks

[@susanhorton9492]

I live in ne york city and am a screenwriter and film student can i create an online account so I can view things online ?

[@publicmail2]

No impossible

[@stevensica89]

I wonder how much rent Ann Francis paid for that apartment back in 1960? And what part of town was it in?

[@lloydbotway5930]

Anne Francis was much better in this than in Forbidden Planet.

[@mexipino5057]

Wait a minute is that Carson in the thumbnail

[@MrJoeybabe25]

Was this live?

[@UCLAFTVArchive]

Hi Joe, yes, about 47 seconds into the program they announce that it is "live from New York."

[@MrJoeybabe25]

@@UCLAFTVArchive Thanks! 😀😀

[@JohnD-ij1ol]

This was an interesting idea, but poorly executed. The character motivations and development don't make much sense, all leading to an ending that doesn't seem to follow. Great seeing this rarity anyway, especially for the actors in it!

[@tnate6004]

The end seemed contrived. Kenny should have ended up with Rosalinda and Ann should have ended up with sexy Lou.

[@stevenhamilton5342]

Johnny and his mom are a bit much to take
