JOHNNY - SIMPLY THE BEST OF ALL TIME ! I watched him from 1962 to 1992 - never missed a show for 30 yrs. Thank god for you tube so we all can enjoy him again. SUBSCRIBED FAN, CHESTER ( USA- PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA )

[@mikehughes4969]

Johnny has been gone for so long it seems like a dream that he was even there. We really didn't understand just how good we had it.

[@pronemanoldbutyoung5548]

That´s a good way to put it. But luckily we have a lot saved here on KZbin, so we don´t need to dream.

[@jerrytaliercio9087]

Ed and Doc and Tommy missed too…

[@rhyancoleman6462]

Doc is still alive

[@bravesrule384]

@@rhyancoleman6462 - Yes, Doc is the only one left from Johnny's rein as host of the Tonight Show and he turned 97 back in July. Another tidbit of information, this coming January of 2025, it'll mark 20 years since Johnny died. He died in January of 2005.

09/05/23' Read in a history piece on J.C. that he banned Rich Little from the guest list for life after Rich gave his impersonation of J.C. including the laugh. Rich said that J.C. was difficult to perfect. Audience went wild, J.C. apparently had a weak ego. Still...unmatched to this day for his abilities.

There will never be another time like this or another show like this one. In the history of television , Johnny Carson remains the King of Late Night T.V. and will always reign as King. I love to come here and watch these shows. It helps me to relax and forget about some of the stupidity that is going on in this world.

I'm a zoomer who grew up without many friends, but my grandmother's Johnny Carson collection always kept me company. No other late night talk show comes close. RIP Johnny.

[@Nunya_Bidness_53]

I'm Gen X and watched him just about every night, and old enough to have been there when Letterman got his start.

[@pronemanoldbutyoung5548]

Jack, do the world a favour. If possible, put your Carson collection on KZbin. It will be demonitized obviously, but it would be a great service to the world.

[@SweetChicagoGator]

What is a Zoomer? I also grew up without a lot of friends just one regular guy, neighbor & classmate, Ted. A couple of other classmates that were casual, but not close. There were 2 sisters that I played a lotta games with from the age of 7 to 14. I had a big crush on them and in the latter year I lusted after one of them a lot, but then they moved from the apartment building and dad bought a house in a far off suburb. 5 girls and no boys until the last year they tried one last time and got a boy, Walter. 🙏🤗

That was the funniest Carnac sketch I have ever seem. Made even funnier as Johnny and Ed could not control their laughing.

[@saxongirl2054]

LOL that was the skit I requested I didn't know the name of it. Thank you for posting ❤

[@HailAnts]

Wow, I've never seen this before! Can't remember it being on any of his anniversary shows either! This was Carson's genius. If a sketch or joke failed, the audience did not blame him. In fact he could usually then make it even funnier! Here he makes it ten times funnier by him not realizing his stache fell off! This was something Leno simply could not do. But Conan could also do this! This is also the only time I remember seeing Johnny completely give up on a bit!

[@mjoven1975]

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a Floyd R Turbo sketch that went off the rails that Johnny pulled the plug on early, and it was hilarious. Johnny had the ability to make a sketch or a monologue that was bombing simply by his use of self deprecating humor and his ad lib skills.

[@stupidsmart-phone6911]

There was one other Art Fern sketch that was going so bad Johnny ducked behind the podium for a moment then scooted it back to the door to exit without being seen, but with no explanation. After the commercial at his desk he said something about it being so bad he couldn't finish, he couldn't cut it short, and he couldn't just walk out normally.

[@darlene5216]

[@thejamnasium6447]

seriously never seen another person on TV be as personable and likeable as Carson. which is weird when you think about how difficult he was in real life. but somehow when you're watching him you feel like he's your friend and you're right there with him. when he's funny, he's funny. when the jokes fail, he's somehow even funnier. when things go wrong, like here, it's a riot.

[@j.a.greene3523]

You can't script this stuff. That's what makes it so funny!

[@johnkruton9708]

I remember watching Carson in my late teens into mid 20’s and he would gently recap the political news in a funny respectful way. Never would he demean the Office of the President. While he’s poke fun it was thinking man’s humor but not as grating as David Letterman. The newer guy’s I just don’t watch any of them.
