Thank you Dave.

These desk bits are treasures. Thanks for making these available. Wish there was a playlist just for the hundreds of desk bits they did.

I have been looking for these forever! A few could be seen on Carson Comedy Classics. I only learned today they were called "book bits". I love the overtly obvious setup by Ed McMahon and Johnny's "You are wrong (fill in the blank) breath! Thanks David for finding these and uploading them!

The book "30 Days to Reduce Depression" by Harper Daniels does a great job addressing depression.

Carson go in dumper with this one.

[@georgesenda1952]

I get depressed because there’s no more Carson, Ferguson or Leno. Than any of the host on now they all think they’re funny and they’re not and all are woke types.
