The Midnight Special is an American late-night musical variety series that aired on NBC during the 1970s and early 1980s, created and produced by Burt Sugarman. It premiered as a special on August 19, 1972, then began its run as a regular series on February 2, 1973; its last episode was on May 1, 1981. The ninety-minute program followed the Friday night edition of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. The show typically featured guest hosts, except for a period from July 1975 through March 1976 when singer Helen Reddy served as the regular host. Wolfman Jack served as the announcer and frequent guest host. The series also occasionally aired vintage footage of older acts. As the program neared the end of its run in the early 1980s, it began to frequently use lip-synched performances rather than live. The program also featured occasional comedic performances such as Richard Pryor and Andy Kaufman.

If you were a music fan in the U.S. during the 70s, chances are you caught an episode or two of The Midnight Special. Created by television and film producer Burt Sugarman, The Midnight Special premiered on August 19, 1972 and ran through May 1, 1981. It used to follow The Tonight Show on Friday nights, from 1:00 AM to 2:00 AM. Sugarman, who lived next door to Johnny Carson, pitched the idea of a show featuring rock and pop artists of the day, filling in a time previously relegated to test patterns. I recall spending many Friday nights, watching the show and seeing some of my favorite artists. Along with Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert, which came along in 1973, The Midnight Special was key to bringing the best of 70s pop rock to people’s living rooms. Today, you can relive the experience on a variety of The Midnight Special DVD packages.
