DISCLAIMER:
Unfortunately, in the early years of The Tonight Show, several episodes were erased. So if you are searching for a guest appearance that you are certain existed and it is not coming up in the search, you're not losing your mind. Most likely the footage no longer exists.

When you find the guest and date you are looking for, if you click on the air date, a list of the other guest appearances from that show appear. How's that for service!
