This Johnny Carson “More to Come” original artwork is ULTRA RARE! It was given to me by a longtime Carson staff member. Former NBC graphics artist Rick Andreoli personally designed, constructed, and signed this artwork, which appeared on-air during Johnny’s 14th anniversary on October 1, 1976. This is the ONLY one ever made.
Rick Andreoli emailed me explaining how he made this "More to Come" artwork:
"I created that 14th anniversary bumper art, alo...ng with a lot of artwork for all the “More To Come” bumpers in the 70’s. I worked in NBC Graphic Arts July, '73 to about September, ’77.
The base artwork of the Magician & Rabbits was done on illustration paper in markers & Pentel black pen. Then cut out & mounted on purple art board (the background). The overlay film with text was done on a 3M thermal film material that half the time never processed correctly!
Normally back then, the show requested 6-10 original art pieces for 12-13 commercial slots in the 90 min. broadcast. We used cell overlays on the art to change the bumper text, for “More To Come” and “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson”. The art was then photographed onto 35mm slides to use in a slide chain during the show’s taping."
Johnny's 14th Anniversary special was a two-hour show featuring classic clips including Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Ed Ames, Jack Webb, Burt Mustin, The Mighty Carson Art Players, and Doug McCure & James Drury in a stunt bar room brawl sketch.The bumper artwork will be sent in the same plastic frame giving to me by the former Tonight Show staff member. Photos above show the artwork with and without the plastic frame.My name is Mark Malkoff. I’m the host of the Johnny Carson themed audio podcast, The Carson Podcast. I’ve recorded with over 225 guests including Tonight Show staff member and regular guests. These have included Doc Severinsen, Carol Burnett, Mel Brooks, CarlReiner, Mac Davis, Brooke Shields, Dick Cavett, and many more.
