The panel was created after the

Johnny Carson signs new agreement to host Tonight Show
By JERRY BUCK
AP Television Writer
BURBANK, Calif. Johnny Carson, who cele
brated his 21st anniversary as host of "The Tonight
Show" last October, has signed a new contract with
NBC seven months before his old one expires, the
network said yesterday.
Details of the .new contract were not disclosed,
said Gene Walsh, an NBC spokesman. Carson's
current contract expires in September.
"I just talked to Johnny and he's very happy with
the new contract," said Jim Mahoney, a spokes
man for Carson. "He's entered into a new
agreement that will run indefinitely and there're no
changes from his previous contract.
"Johnny has always said when people stop

By FRED ROTHENBERG
AP Television Writer
NEW YORK Roger Mudd celebrated his 56th
birthday yestdrday by making peace with NBC,
agreeing to become the network's chief political
correspndent.
Mudd, who had virtually disappeared from the
airwaves since being taken off the "NBC Nightly
News" Sept. 2, said he's now buying a plane ticket
to lowa and hopes to be reporting from there next
week.
The announcement of Mudd's return came in a
statement yesterday rom NBC News President
Reuven Frank.
"Roger Mudd has earned an enviable reputation
as one of the best political reporters in the United,
States," said Frank. "And his presence in an
important position will strengthen all our political
reporting."
Mudd, reached by telephone in his Washington
office, said he was "delighted" to be getting back to
work. Sitting on the sidelines has made him "very
itchy." Even during his contractual dispute with
NBC, he was going to his office each. day. '

said. "He has survived everything they've put up
against him and is still out front."
Asked if the new contract included more money,
Mahoney replied, "I didn't discuss salary with
Johnny, but I'm sure the network wanted to keep
him."
NBC chairman Grant Tinker said in a statement,
"The record Johnny Carson has established in
broadcasting is nothing less than incredible. For 22
years he has turned back the best efforts of the
competition as the 'king of late-night television.'
We are delighted Johnny has agreed to continue
doing the 'Tonight Show.' "
The contract due to expire in September is a one
year extension of a three-year contract Carson
signed in 1980 when Fred Silverman was president
of NBC.
For a time it appeared in 1980 that Carson would
"For a political reporter in a presidential elec
tion year," said Mudd, "this is the penultimate, to
get out and see for yourself what's going on and
then report about it and write about it."
Mudd's new assignments will include preparing
frequent political reports for his old "Nightly
News," and special reports for other NBC broad
casts. During the national conventions, Mudd will
report from the podium, analyzing the activity and
interviewing the major players.
NBC said his duties after the convention will also
include two documentaries on the candidates. After
the election, Mudd said that he would have new
discussions with NBC about doing NBC "White
Papers," or documentaries, in 1985.
Mudd called that "a commitment. We agreed to
agree on the White Papers."
Mudd's only major exposure on NBC since Bro
kaw became sole evening news anchor Sept. 5 was
as anchor for a three-hour retrospective on Presi
dent John F. Kennedy that NBC News did in
November.
Mudd said he was off the air for legal reasons.

leave the show, which brings in an estimated $3O
million in revenues to NBC annually. Negotiations
dragged on for a year. But Carson won concessions
from NBC, including cutting the show from 90
minutes to an hour, reducing his work week to four
days and giving him more vacation time.
It was reported at the time that his current
contract raised his previous salary of $3 million,
but there was no confirmation from Carson or the
network.
Carson, who took over the helm of "The Tonight
Show" from Jack Paar on Oct. 1, 1962, is still the
late-night ratings leader. He has survived assaults
from Joey Biship, Dick Cavett, Mery Griffin and
others.

done by anchors, it would have signaled that I had
acquiesced to the breach of my contract."
After months of negotiations, Mudd, whose origi
nal contract had seven more years to run, said a
readjustment had been made that "satisfies both
sides." Mudd would not reveal any specific con
tract modifications.
He labeled as untrue published reports that one
major obstacle was that he refused to appear on
any broadcast anchored by Brokaw.
"I don't know where that came from, but it did a
disservice, not only'to me, but to Tom," Mudd said.
"I have no idea who put that out. But it was never
an issue. It was not true. It 'never came up once.
"I just want to get back to work," he said. "My
assignments are substantial ones, which will allow
me to contribute to the dispensing of news and
information during this critical year. I'm delighted
to get back to what I want to be doing."
The announcement last July, that Mudd was
going to be an anchor without an anchor position,
was the second time he had been lost in the shuffle.
He had been passed over for Dan Rather at CBS
when Walter Cronkite retired as anchor of the
"CBS Evening News."
