When John Lennon and Paul McCartney Were on ‘The Tonight Show’
The Beatles turned in the opposite direction after their February 1968 trip to Rishikesh, India failed to provide the spiritual enlightenment they sought – towards business matters. A few months later, the company they decided to form in the wake of manager Brian Epstein's death was ready to launch. John Lennon and Paul McCartney flew to New York in mid-May to promote Apple Corps.
Their final stop took place on May 14, 1968, on NBC's Tonight Show. The program that night wasn't hosted by Johnny Carson, but by former baseball great Joe Garagiola. (In the Anthology documentary, future Apple head Neil Aspinall mistakenly says it was Joe DiMaggio.) Actress Tallulah Bankhead was the other guest.
Sadly, NBC, for some reason, decided to erase the videotape of their appearance at some point, so there is no complete document of the show. However, a fan recorded the audio on a home tape recorder, which has been transcribed at the Beatles Interviews Database.
The first segment consisted of typically Beatlesque banter between the guests and host. But in the second, Garagiola asked the duo about Apple, and Lennon outlined the group's bold plans for the new corporation.

Someone in the 1980's put these two together to make a crazy version of the show. I watched that over and over and never truly understood totally what was going on. Well, after all these years a new audio source has became available! Some other fan wired his reel-to-reel right into the speakers of his TV set. The sound is much better than what had previously been available. No new versions of video has appeared, but I guess you never know. However, what I have found is an article that appeared in what I believe was the August 1968 issue of TeenSet magazine. The name of the person who wrote it somehow got cut off the copy I have, but this fan must have also made a recorded because she goes into detail about what was said during the interview and also her personal thought on it. I found it to be very inte
