Heeeeere's Johnny! Or, rather, heeeeeere he will be!

Turner Classic Movies has licensed 50 Tonight Show interviews that Johnny Carson conducted with Bette Davis, Elizabeth Taylor, Mel Brooks and others from the Carson Entertainment Group, TCM said.

The interviews, many of which have not seen the light of day since they first aired, will appear under the banner Carson on TCM, beginning next summer.

Carson on TCM, which is being curated by filmmaker Peter Jones (Johnny Carson: King of Late Night, Stardust: The Bette Davis Story), will first air as a series of five-interview showcases before being offered as single-interview interstitials that highlight stars being featured on the network.
