Booger Ray on Johnny Carson March 26, 1987

My great uncle, Vernon "Booger" Ray was on the Johnny Carson show on March 27, 1987. As you can see, he was a card.

[@heatherlyn1978]

That's my daughter's great grandpa! I gotta send her this;)

[@aarondigby5054]

That means he's your grandfather? Am I right

[@peterkinberger9741]

I remember Vernon Booger Ray on the Carson show. I really liked him and often thought about how he lived, in a free country. It is such a low down dirty shame that our country is not that way anymore. The spirit of Booger is still strong but this country needs to catch back up. I can just see him right now, riding in that old wagon waving people to go on by while keeping two faithful mules under control with a pair of relief mules tied to the back and singing to himself. He brought a lot of smiles to a lot of good people. God bless ol' Booger, wherever he may be !

[@BigD1957]

Johnny would regularly have a guest from a small town or the country to tell their story. He treated them the same as he treated the biggest Hollywood stars. Its what made the show so great. Thanks for posting this. It brought back great memories!

[@ExtremelyAverage1]

Thank God these are still available to see. Talk show hosts of today can learn so much from this guy. Classy.

[@jiwbink]

YOU COULDNT MELT ALL OF THE SO CALLED LATE NUGHT HOSTS,AND POUR THEM ON CARSON! ILL GIVE FALLON HIS DUE,HE CAN DO SOME GREAT IMPERSONATORS, BUT BEYOND THAT. ITS A WASTELAND. NOT MUCH MORE THAN FLASHING LIGHTS AND REPETITIVE NOISE.. AS FAR AS ANYONE APPEARING ON ANY OF THE SHOWS,THE INTERVIEWS COULD BE SWAPPED FROM HOST TO HOST AND GUEST TO GUEST,NOTING SPECIFIC. JUST HASIC,GENERIC. NOBODY EVER KNEW WHERE CARSON FELT ABOUT POLITICAL ISSUES.HE WOULD STICK IT TO BOTH. THESE DAYS ITS ALL ONE SIDED,THEY ALL SLAM ONE WAY. OH WELL. I GUESS THATS WHAT MAKES LOOKIN BACK SO MUCH BETTER.

He could fake it very well when not sure how to question a person. Great man RIP Mr Carson We miss you

[@evelynmcgee7536]

I saw Booger Ray many times as he rode in his horse drawn wagon, and once I asked him if I could take his picture - his answer was "Yes, but I can't dance". I told him I didn't want him to dance, just pose for a picture, and he did. It was a treasure.

This was awesome. How Johnny turns conversation into magic

[@max4951]

Booger was a fixture in the 60's and early 70's along US 70, generally between Idabel and Durant although I have seen him up toward Heavner. Toward the end of his life he hooked up with a former Sheriff and conducted trail rides for groups from Wright City to Cloudy, drew a lot of folks out of Dallas and Oklahoma City. He was a well known and well remembered character.

[@danreynolds4208]

Making a guest appearance on Johnny's show had to have helped his business bolster to a certain degree. God rest the old soul.

[@jadamills4082]

yes, I miss them both.I don't watch late night anymore.

[@skotskiable]

vern wallen I got hooked on David Letterman way before he really caught on. I was working swing shift in an Oregon sawmill around 1979 or 80 and couldn’t get to sleep right away after work, so I would turn on the tv and have a shot of orange juice and Canadian Club to unwind at around 1:00 a.m. Sometimes his humor reversed the effects of the nightcap and then it was harder to get to sleep. All in all, Johnny was truly a very funny man and an American treasure that I never really grew to appreciate back then. Up until then I didn’t stay up late enough to watch late night tv as a logger and millworker kept early morning hours. Johnny and Dave had a similar sense of humor that I can relate to.

[@julieklie2344]

Saw ole Booger Ray alongside of the road in Okla. We visited and the guy I was with took a pic. What a true character. Wouldn’t be safe to stop today!

[@boopeep9670]

Watching Johnny Carson on Channel 4 is a real switch for me, being born in Jonesboro, we watched that channel a lot when I was a kid. I'm not gonna bore you with all the particulars, just to say thanks for sharing these videos with us. It's worth a thumbs up and a sub, and a click on the bell too, thanks again.

[@irie1tes]

Man Johnny was so damn good at this- making people feel comfortable and keeping it interesting. No producer would allow this kind of segment today

[@BigBingFan]

Johnny was from Iowa and Nebraska, and could relate to average people. After Johnny left the scene in 1992, I couldn't bear watching Letterman trying to make a joke of these type people--everything was a joke. Johnny, like you said, talked to them like real people. I really miss Johnny because of exactly this fact. Whether it was a 105-yr.old lady, a woman who collected odd-shaped potato chips, or a farmer, gold prospector, etc....Johnny always didn't make them the butt of jokes like Letterman. Leno was a fair transition, but looking at it now, it's about only the Hollywood elites, pop icons,, very unfunny comedians, etc. I miss Johnny terribly.

[@irie1tes]

BigBingFan So true. Well said

[@61dodgelancer]

BigBingFan, you're so right. Johnny was great! He would allow himself to be the butt of the joke. He was kind and gracious to regular folks like Booger Ray. Today's late night talk show "comedians" are terrible. I hate them. Letterman and Stephen Colbert would have treated Booger Ray like dirt.

KARK TV IN LITTLE ROCK. I was attending the end of my first year of college at the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Ar. I may have seen this. I now live in Fayetteville, Ar. Cool ! This great! My grandad was born in 1912. I miss that generation of people. I knew a man that was 104 in my hometown of Mulberry, Ar . When I was 5 in 1973, he walked everywhere, chewed a plug of tobacco and had a small bottle of whiskey. He wore overalls and a straw hat. He was born in 1869, not long after the Civil War. Its amazing to think how close we are to history with some of the oldest folks. Find out everything you can from them young ppl! At 50, I try to relate thingscto mygrown kids about how things were that I learned from my grandparents. My grammy is 93 now and I ask her to relate stories and we have it on video.

[@shananagans5]

Oh my, your comment jarred my memory. Back in the 70's I used to spend summers at my grandmothers house in Howe. I remember him too but I wasn't putting 2 and 2 together. I saw him several times. I recall he used to roll string. lol He had a stick with a big ball of string on it & he would walk around telling stories & rolling that string from one stick to another.
