If the latter can be combined to the usual 13-15 minute clip, then I'd vote for that.
But if both are about that length and the GB mentions are short, I'd vote for the "entirety."
They're maybe five to ten minutes long. Yeah, I think you're right. I'll put up all of it once I get through digitizing. I'm at about an hour-and-a-half of new stuff converted to digital tape right now, but that amount will go down once I sift through redundant versions of some clips.
Last night I found some other great nuggets I forgot I even had. Some were so bad I must've mentally blocked them (Ernie Hudson on Super Mario Bros.) but all these years later, I'm honestly glad I did archive them.
The one that I enjoyed the most, surprisingly, was Dave Coulier on the Arsenio Hall show. As loyal as I am to Lorenzo Music's characterization, Dave and Arsenio are having so much fun telling stories about their days in standup and working on a certain cartoon show together, the warm fuzzy feeling comes right through the screen.
And I've found TWO appearances I made on local news back in the early 90's, but still have yet to find the one where I was interviewed about my Ghostbusters comic book collection. I was surprised to hear myself paraphrasing dialogue from GB2 in one of them!
A local reporter came in the university center while my friends and I were eating, shoves a microphone in my face while I am chewing food, and asks my plans for Spring Break. The first words out of my mouth, before I formed a coherent answer of my own, were "We don't know; we don't WANT to know."

Well, look at it this way. Aside from a split-second soundbyte 22 years ago, more or less accidentally archived on my VHS tape and brought to light again, what has any of those average citizens produced of lasting merit?
And yet Ghostbusters 2, though undeniably a pale imitation of its predecessor, is still being discussed and debated every single day by a WIDE cross-section of fans from every walk of life, over two decades later.
