Wally Podrazik returns with part two of our look at the Beatles and Late Night television.      Tom Snyder and Johnny Carson would bring former Beatles solidly into the world of late night.    As the seventies icons gave way to the next generation, Letterman, Leno, Fallon, Conan, Colbert, Corden and Kimmel would find newer and ever more inventive ways to engage and entertain America with interviews, bits and music from McCartney and Starr.

The viral success of Paul McCartney and James Corden led us to consider the Beatles appearances on American Late Night TV talk shows through the years.    The story starts with Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, the Tonight Show and moves on to Dick Cavett on ABC.   Walter Podrazik (co-author with Harry Castleman) of the classic Beatles books "All Together Now" (+ more) and television reference "Watching TV: Eight Decades of American Television") joins us this week and next to talk a bit about the shows, the hosts and how the Beatles moved from a punchline to politically savvy young men with something to say.
