Look at the extended Standing-O from the audience. Dave was the real spiritual successor to Carson. And everyone knows it. It's fitting that Carson's final public appearance was this walk-on cameo on Letterman.

even in 2024 Johnny is STILL KING OF LATE NIGHT tv

Who here in 2024?

Ringo, always the coolest

I love this song called wanted dead or alive by Richie Sambora your friend Lorraine chambers

just found this (2024) - glad I did

Wow Lou Gramm ❤❤❤❤

Carson liked Letterman a lot, clearly they were freinds, but not so crazy about Leno. Join the club. They actually replaced Conan with Leno. I'm not a studio executive and so juat can't think up things that clever. I think Johnny would have liked Conan too.

Dave and Johnny were the best 👍

Mayor Dinkins Wild West

WOW! LOVE LOU!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

And God created Lou Gramm 🎼👏

David Letterman is one of the biggest egotistical smug jerkoff douchebags to ever disgrace TV.

Hilarious!

Two of the GOATS!

Somebody call the cops,they are the cops!

The extra fifteen pounds looked good on Carson. Wise move not to wear a tie. Why should he? He’s retired so he’s no longer subject to the talk show dress code; he can wear whatever he wants.

that was beautiful

anyone know the date of this?

John William Carson (Corning, Iowa; 23 de octubre de 1925 - West Hollywood, California; 23 de enero de 2005) fue un presentador, comediante, escritor y productor de televisión estadounidense. 98 AÑOS 79 AÑOS 19 AÑOS.

Gave me chills then, still gives me chills today.

Late night literally sucks without Johnny Carson. Get rid of Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and that other communist guy on CBS. Somebody figure out how to resurrect Johnny and bring him back because we all miss him so very much!👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍

The audience scared him away, unfortunately. If they had quiet down a little sooner, I think he would’ve read the top ten list but he got a little bit choked up and embarrassed and choked up and it was a little too much for him, and he just left. But you could just tell that he was ready to read that list.

Dave joke with Johnny on his last show , that he come on Dave show and host it and so he did 🙂 Johnny was one of Dave`s mentors and Johnny like Dave vary much and help pave the way to his stardom

If Mick really wants to make things right with Lou. Give Lou the 50% royalty ratio he's due for his contributions to "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS" Lou did far more than just arrange his vocal take himself with the help of the studio engineer.

Why worry by the Everly brothers

Mr leo🎉🎉😮😮 the greatest singers of all time time will tell thank you for your blood sweat and tears Mr Rochester new York lonewolf LLc bye bye for now happy holidays

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Lousy video

Vocal skill and ability of a whole different caliber

I don't think it's possible to watch this without crying. I really don't.

👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

How many years after Carsons last show was this? Which year?

Anyone want to lay odds that Jay Leno or Jimmy Fallon receive such an ovation returning to t.v..after the same number as The King?

This was just legendary. The crowd reaction said it ALL. He was snd is THE MAN

Greatmusicc 3:27

What was the broadcast date?

Even though he is gone Johnny Carson remains the undesputed king 👑 of late night talk shows rip Johnny

Ah yes. Back in the good old days before Dave became a leftist tool.

Ok, now I have to hunt down the Traffic clip.

Poor Johnny - another victim of the CRIMINAL TOBACCO PUSHERS and their ILLEGAL TOBACCO DRUG, which should be BANNED, NOW!

The thing that made Carson so great was he knew his job was to make a fun show for his whole audience. He didn't care who got the laugh, or whether it was him poking furn or at his expense, as long as the laughs happened. And he wasn't there to share politics or lecture his audience. His job was to give his audience a good time. First, last, and only.

DAVID MICHAEL LETTERMAN 12 DE ABRIL DE 1947 76 AÑOS.

Forgot that Bette Midler was a guest. She was there on Carson's last regular Tonight Show then she's back for his cameo! Johnny and Dave adored each other didn't they? 🥰

Miss the man. Miss the theme too.

Even if Johnny's voice was in good shape that day I don't think the audience would have given him a chance to speak, they were so into it

On one of the early shows Dave did in NYC, Johnny called him on the show After some banter, this happened: Dave: "How's the weather in California? Johnny:"Fine, just fine. The mudslides are putting out the fires."

The mutual respect those two had for each other? Never gets old to see it. 😊😊

3:35 Dave: "Did you ever see that Jurassic Park movie?... she used to have those animals as pets??" LOL
