One of my favorite comedic Christmas songs

I had a crush on her when I was a kid. Good video. Thanks

Back when we could make light of things and not be vilified

IS t his lady from Boston College?

Came here from @honest2betsy to here the song in context. Some of these old songs are wild.

Can you imagine that being said in 2024

😂😂😂😂

It’s not a dog, It’s more closely than hyenas😅😅😅

Just saw her today. She looks great still

Her lil face says it all. Bliss

will so do I

Bob Collins used to play this on WGN AM in Chicago when I was a kid, I used to love listening to it.

He would never be able to get away with a line like that today

You know, that was so innocent, from the heart and sexy on both Johnny and Dolly's part - I think that's why we all loved them both so much.

Top shelf

Two legends being human in front of the largest tv audience in America. PS: So would I, Johnny. So would I.

Name of the blonde?

Dolly Parton must've been highly flattered when Johnny Carson was willing to give up a year's pay to have a peek at her upper private possessions

I was watching on the night when this happened.

I must PET this smol jungle doggo

Joan Ember;y ......... 😍🥰

I have this on Carson's Comedy Classics that a collector put together for me, but it's a bit longer. At one point, Johnny stops rubbing her belly, and she squeaks as if to say, "Did I say you could stop?" So funny and cute! When I saw that, I thought, "I want one!", like probably a few other people. Sometimes when the animal experts go on the show, they warn people that they are still wild animals, no matter how cute they are. They even warn people about having pet skunks! Some people have pet hyenas.

I was almost 15 years old when this episode aired. I was in Orlando with my parents and we were going to Disneyworld the next day. I was in the same hotel room with my parents, who were trying to sleep. I laughed outloud so hard my father told me to be quiet or turn it off.

pretty skank

He will always be the King of late night.

Anyone else but Johnny would have gotten slapped lol😂

Funny

RIP Burt and Johnny! Epic!

What a great moment, and I love hearing Dom Delouise, laughing in the background

A first, and a second on our show Johnny says..lol😂😂😂😂. Miss him!

What year was this broadcast?

Johnny Carson was about getting people to laugh. Today's late night hosts are just trying to get applause. It's not about humor anymore.

Ah, the good old days when being politically correct wasn't even heard of. Ah yes, the good old days!

So funny the bush dog just chills in his lap !!!

Dolly should’ve responded, “Is that cash or check?”

When Johnny Carson was holding the bush dog, I think Johnny kind of looks like George Bush Jr.

She may have had the music but she didn't have the bra

Poor Johnny would be canceled today for that peeking comment lol

Min. 00:32 "These are MINE." LOOOL 🤣🤣🤣

Poor thing is so distressed

The poor bush dog should be wild and free.

Sir...Does that mean Ann-Margaret is not coming? :(

Carson’s Tonight Show was Variety, which by 11:30 weekdays most people needed some of. His topics and format entertained. It didn’t make your hair hurt watching and it wasn’t the same night after night after night. Nobody was selling you ideology. Toothpaste and cars maybe. But TV will never pull 4-6 million nightly with what is presently offered.

0:10, 0:17, 0:23

Wonderfully Demented!!

Remember when talk shows had class, humor and great guests?

What a performance! She certainly had a couple points in her favor.

Ya gotta admit, Johnny was quick as hell with that witt.

Johnny Carson actually hated these bits with the animals; one time they had some kind of cub feline on that pooped on him and he got sick for a few days.

I watched that live. Talk about making a lasting impression!
