A 30-Year Radio Era Ends, A 30-Year Television Era Begins

On September 30, 1962, the Golden Age Of Radio that started in 1932 came to an end with the final broadcasts of Suspense and Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. The next day, October 1, 1962, Groucho Marx introduced Johnny Carson to the nation's late-night television audience as the new host of The Tonight Show, beginning his 30-year run. Amazing how one day could span 60 years, eh?
