Are you sure Carson was a JIP? The network movie ran 2:30, followed by :30 for
local news--it seems that Carson would just start at 12 AM ET and air in full.
 
I have to admit I asked myself the same question; seems like
"The Tonight Show" would have aired 12 M-1:30 AM. However,
I'm giving what was in TV Guide's listing; also, it had "Take Five"
at its normal 1 AM (just before sign-off) on WLEX. Could be an
error on TV Guide's part but I don't have another edition for the
same date to check. Tuesday night the movie ran for only two
hours and Johnny was on at his regular 11:30 PM time.
 
I found the October 27 1968 Des Moines Register Sunday TV Magazine. Of course this is central time, all the NBC affiliates except one ran the 8:00 NBC Movie, followed by 10:30 Local News, 11:00 Tonight, and none had any listing after 11:00.

The one exception was WOC-6 in Davenport. Here is their listing:
8:00 Movie (no title given)
10:00 News, Sports
10:30 Lock-up
11:00 Tonight
12:00 A. Hitchcock

So apparently NBC only fed a 60-minute Tonight show that night.
 
I'm somehow convinced that TV Guide's statement of "joined in
progress" was a typo; I see no reason why, if the movie was
scheduled to run until 11:30/10:30, followed by 30 minutes of
local news or whatever, the network would then join "The Tonight
Show" in progress. No, I also think it was an hour show that night.
