Tracee Talavera on The Tonight Show, August 10, 1979- 40 years ago!

I've long seen Johnny Carson footage of Tracee Talavera doing gymnastics on The Tonight Show; but I've never seen the entire interview before, uploaded by Paul Marsh.




I believe Kurt Thomas made a couple of Tonight Show appearance; but I wonder if any film footage has survived the passage of time because I've never seen any of it.  Maybe someone out there has a VHS tape of Kurt's guest appearance and will one day see the light of day on YouTube.
