On the March 6, 1969 episode of the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson, Bob Hope and Judy Carne discussed the recent cancellation of Turn-On. Johnny Carson: I know you were taping the other night, Bob, because they had the dinner for Jack Benny … Bob Hope: Jack was … celebrating his seventy-fifth year… Johnny Carson: And twentieth year in television. Bob Hope: Hard to believe, isn’t it? Twenty years in television. That’s hard to convince the producers of Turn-On, I bet. Judy Carne: (laughs) Bob Hope: Twenty years. Johnny Carson: The only show that got canceled during a commercial. Judy Carne: Right! Bob Hope: In the middle they said, ‘Turn off.’ Wasn’t that something? Judy Carne: Oh, amazing. Bob Hope: That was George [Schlatter] too, though. Judy Carne: Yes. Bob Hope: We shouldn’t mention that cause George has done pretty well with that other thing [Laugh-In]. Judy Carne: And a big shock. A big shock to him.
Found this in a thrift store in LA decades ago. Likely from the dinner they are discussing here.
