Waynes loafers were so light he floated when he walked.

Wow I did not know

Johnny Carson was a racist

Wayne Newton is a total class act

He did sing like girl

Johnny had issues

Joe namath said the same thing bout carson he said carson was a mean spirited person.

JOHNNY CARSON WAS A DRUNK ASSHOLE... AND A WOMANIZER !!!

Wow Wayne you seem like a stand-up guy to me and I love the cookies.

He ruined his appearance with all that surgery. Spooky looking.

See, if Will Smith had handled his problem with Chris Rock the same way I'd still be a fan!!

Carson was being a bully, and as we've heard so many times, one way to deal with a bully is face to face. If it came down to a fight, I have no doubt that Wayne would've destroyed Johnny. You can be an incredibly popular, rich, famous late night host, but that kind of gets set aside when you're getting punched in the face.

Well done Wayne!

Imagine being THIS triggered because Johnny called you gay. This is next level insecurity.

When you want to sound noble and righteous you call people “mister”. Haha. You could tell that Carson was a jerk off the air, just by watching him.

Back when being gay was considered to be evil. Glad times have changed.

The two faces of Johnny Carson.

Its so funny I always want to call Wayne Newton Mr. Nugget.

I believe it up to the Mafia stuff. Carson was a jerk. But nobody wanted to kill Wayne Newton (c’mon, really?) … except maybe audiences who paid good money to hear him sing, when his voice was gone.

Carson was must watch Television in the 70's for me.. too many negative comments about him before he passed away and after to dismiss. It was obvious watching him on his brilliant show that he had a huge ego

Total respect. Stand up to bullies!

Yeah. I’m hearing too many stories about Carson. The one with Rodney Dangerfield really put Carson in a bad light. I’m not sure I would want to be liked because i had power.

Hey Wayne, theyre jokes. Suck it up, buttercup.

Never thought Wayne was gay but to this day, everyone on Earth thinks Danke Shoen was sung by a woman...

What Newton is trying to say in this video is that Carson had control of the mob in Vegas and could order mob hits there. This is not the truth. Watch the movie “Casino” which is based on real people connected to the mob in Vegas at the time. Where does that film say that Carson controlled the mafia in Vegas and the mob bosses in the Midwest and the Teamsters who funded the casinos. This is fantasy from Newton. Wayne is not telling the whole story which has been reported in the Las Vegas media. Newton bought the Aladdin Casino. Newton beat Carson’s offer and Carson felt betrayed. After this, Carson never returned to Vegas and that began the feud with Newton. The truth Newton is not telling is that the Aladdin hotel was controlled by the mob. Newton had friends in the mob who were trying to protect him from other members of the mob who were threatening him. This happened because Newton was in the middle of mafia business in Vegas.

It bums me out Carson wasn't a better guy, but sadly he really wasn't.

This strikes me the wrong way. I think both men had a checkered life, and it makes it hard to believe. I think both men were pretty decent human beings, but both men had their issues.

Did this really happen? Has anyone besides Wayne Newton ever mentioned it?

Whoever told johnny he had talent was drunk.

He was another drunk. A. Saurus

Carson was a nobody. It had no talent

No problem with Wayne Newton but this is one of those cases where either Larry King needs to ask a couple obvious questions or someone has to represent the other side of the story. Obviously the hit out on Newton sounds like BS...his reason made no sense.

Johnny Carson was a mean drunk, a chain smoker, and a difficult person in private life. However, his comedic is legendary, and I watch reruns of his show with great pleasure and appreciation. Do you know the old Hollywood saying? “If the public really knew us, they wouldn’t like us.” I’ve known a few major celebrities both here in the States and abroad, and let me tell you…

Fact is Johnny was personally told by some gangsters to stop the jokes not by Wayne Newton .

And notice that Newton waited until Carson passed before telling these questionable stories. Carson left most of his $80 million estate to charities while Newton cheated creditors out of $50 million and unsuccessfully tried to hide behind bankruptcy. Guess whose character was superior?

Johnny Carson was a professional-calibre boxer in the navy. I guarantee that Wayne Newton never intimidated or threatened him, LOL.

AFTER JOAN RIVERS GOT HER OWN SHOW ON FOX…..JOHNNY NEVER SPOKE TO HER AGAIN. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Carson was the king of late night TV. But he was a REAL prick of a person. Read Henry Bushkin’s book about Carson. Bushkin was Carson’s lawyer for many years. Fascinating book.

I agree w newton. Comedian's created this nonsense premise that they can say whatever they want and its protected. Im no fan of will Smith or his wife and ofcourse they would be the first to laugh at someone else being attached but i agreed w his reaction. Theres a difference btw making light fun and being mean or viscous. And if u choose to be ready to lose ur teeth.

Newton is a blackbelt too

i heard the guy you saw on television was not the real Johnny Carson..Sigh..He did break and make careers. Many ppl didn't like him. And I imagine since he was so famous and powerful he was very protected by the media,.But like every powerful man he was surrounded by "yes" men.Secrets and secrets,.Still a legend tho.

Interesting. I just heard about this spat, when Carson's name came up in a chat, and I noted I am/was not one of his fans. Then recounted, that in 1980, in my mid-twenties and suffering horribly in the 'coffin', I'd wrote a letter to Carson expressing the excruciating effects of him routinely ridiculing men percieved as being homosexual, for easy laughs. There was no reply. Newton's revelations show not only that Carson was indeed a jerk, but just how badly American society viewed homosexuals, that even straight men feared its 'taint'. Men will, and indeed have, k-lled other men who cast upon them aspersions of being gay/homosexual. It is from where, today, we have the ubiquitous use of the word, 'sucks'; (now) meaning something bad. It went from "you suck cock", to "you suck", to "that sucks." Yet, how many so thought liberals use it without a care. It also has mysoginistic roots.

If all else fails, sometimes you have to handle it “man to man.” Still remained a gentleman and gave Johnny a choice. Johnny chose wisely.

Wayne ain't the one ..pretty sure he's a black belt

Newton would have beaten the breaks off of Carson

This is how a person deal with a Comedian who goes over the line not going on stage and attacking them.

I respect him for handling that as he did! To be the butt of jokes and innuendos is NOT COOL. I’m no fan of Wayne but, God don’t like hate! We should all strive to love and care for each other.

Wayne Newton was big talking pussy. He thought because he took a few karate classes he was big shit. Wayne was a tool. And a big pussy.

Why does Wayne's face look airbrushed? No wonder folks made fun of him. I don't see a marshmallow like him kicking anyone's ass.

Me and my late wife saw one of his last shows at the Stardust. It was awesome. Hey. I grew up on Johnny Carson. He was generally a funny guy. But. The fact is. He was an assh0le. A severely damaged man.
