Jimmy should watch the king and stop with the politics..both Jimmy,'s

Lou Brock wow

I loved Joan

Lenny had just turned 33 and Hugh was 32 here. Seems so young to me now.

Urban myths to the contrary. Callas and Carson never had a falling out and the show in question on Sept 21, 1982 was pretty much typical Callas and both he and Johnny had laughs with it (the show also featured Richard Harris) So he was never "barred" from the show. In fact he appeared on a few more Tonight Shows albeit with Guest Hosts. But no, there was no animosity between the two. Carson Entertainment has even confirmed that the story is just a "myth".

Fast thinker

Carter was still President in 1980. Reagan 1981.

I falling out laughing. Winters never fails to deliver. The best ofcthe best!😂

2025 👍

Rickles stealing a pen at 14:05. Well done to him.

And the voice of Tennessee Tuxedo!

Woody genuinely got a kick out of Hope's corny jokes.

As she said, Carson was the best straight man ever.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 LEGEND

Another one another one another one lmfao 😂😂😂😂

"Madeline, you're too excitable."

Great comedians often make great actors. James Arness was also in “Them” about giant ants. Scary!

The best comedian ever lived!?

That was the most talented man ever??

Just found this one. At 73 I saw most of these first hand. I feel sorry for the generations after mine, they don't know what real talent looks like.

It’s Dumbo ears 😂

👏

Jimmy Kimmel and Colbert would have Rickles thrown in jail for these jokes.

miss the days when lil ass babys would laugh a actually jokes

This was a top shelf performance. The monologues continued after he sat down with Johnny.

Evan and Colleen 15 for 15, from really cold Wisconsin. Great video, makes you think.

I was fortunate enough to have seen Richard Pryor in person before he became well known, he opened for the jazz great Jimmy Smith. Richard was original, fresh, so honest and sincere. It saddened me when he experienced such pain and loss. I always admired his style, beautiful shoes, and manners. Even using curse words, somehow he was not offensive.

Hilarious

The Best of Carson "Mr. Warmth" ! ❤ R.I.P. 🎤 😂 😂 🎉 🥃 laugh 😅

I love the episode when he's in a room with Siegfried and starker,86 says right now your surrounded by 100 control agents,Siegfried says I find that hard to believe,86 says would you believe blah blah,Siegfried says I don't think so,86 says how about 10 boy scouts with pen knifes

These interviews were well before my time but how much I laugh watching them.. I was born in 82 think this was late 60s and all I can say is this is by far more epic than the stuff todays comic ls can deliver

Look at the cast back then on The Tonight Show. Ed McMahon. George Burns. Carroll O’Conner. Don Rickles and Frank Sinatra. And Johnny Carson obviously was absent or let Frank take over the show that night. All masters at their crafts of comedy and entertainment. Legendary. 😎👌🏻

Johnny was THE best, and Joan was as well, and it is amazing to see the joy he got out of her humor, which was truly the funniest, maybe not for the squeamish, but for people who could laugh at life......what a combination of enjoyment.....

James Coco was a closeted gay man.

46:00 Coffee service on the table ! LOL. funny ! They would NEVER do that TODAY.

Michael Landon was a MC on the music tv show Hullabaloo ......

I forgot how much I enjoyed Don Adams :)

A joy to watch, always! Jonathon Winters :) 📺💕💕

When I was a kid in the early 70's I love watching reruns of 'Get Smart', I didn't know that Don Adams start off as a standup comedian...No wonder his timing was so GREAT as Maxwell Smart...GOD, I love that show..

RICKLES was best at obtuse humor.. absolutely love his schtick..

How great of Buddy to yield to the new talent. Very sweet and thoughtful.

So he was a stoner! LOL. Makes sense. Get Smart was my absolute favorite sit com when I was a kid. And maybe my first on screen crush was Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon). I really miss those days.

Rarely you see Joan not having control of the interview, this was pretty much the Don Rickles show!

It's not only the funny one liners but the way Rodney Dangerfield delivers them. A funny funny man.

Pure genius! His humor is a lost art that we probably will never see again. Jonathan's friend Robin Williams was very close. RIP both of them.

Absolutely 😂😂best love you Johnny

My favourite story of Mr Burns is on his 95th birthday he hosted a party. There were 5 young babes on the stage with him. “Now girls I’m 95, one of you is going to need to go home”. 😂😂😂

Nobody better at adlibbing thanJW

😂

8:43 If you were born/raised Catholic, this reference is on point 🤣 The parish needs money! I miss Joan so much! So quick, sharp, and funny to the end. The BEST WOMAN in comedy. I'd say Wanda Sykes is a close second.
