Burt Reynolds Dishes On His Johnny Carson Interview: Part 1

We talk to Burt Reynolds about his appearance on the Johhny Carson show, and man he has some good stories! Before he went on air, the staff told Reynolds the do's and dont's Carson allowed on the show. After acknowledging them, Burt asked the producers for shaving cream and scissors. Huh.
If you've seen the interview you know what he did with them. But if you haven't, Burt runs us through it and it's fun to hear about the back and forth between Carson and Reynolds!

Burt has a story about everyone he's ever met in show business. I could listen to his stories all day. RIP Mr. Reynolds.

[@TCBElvisAPresley]

God bless you, sir. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm not smart enough to know what happens next, but I'm leaning toward the near-death experience (NDE) testimonials. There are countless accounts folks have posted here on KZbin, so I recommend checking them out, especially if you are new to that subject. I like to listen to these people describe their NDE experiences. Sometimes I let myself take a little comfort and hope from them. Best to you.. ✌️🙏

I remember the whipped cream bit it was hilarious and very risque for the times that is why Burt mentioned the sponsors. Don Rickles and Rodney Dangerfield were also great on The Carson show. That was entertainment, not like the garbage they have on now. Johnny, Burt, Don, and Rodney may they all Rest in peace.

Laurel & Hardy. It was pure old fashioned comedy that night. And today we have vicious and biased political agenda set ups.

[@jamessheppard4372]

💯 Oh the memories!

[@coldwinter5710]

I believe Burt is combining two different shows he was on here. The episode where it ends w/Johnny asking for more whipped cream down his pants is on KZbin and is hilarious! I wish the other episode with Burt cutting Johnny's tie, etc, was also available to view again. Equally hilarious, I'm sure!

Because these late night hosts are talentless hacks.

[@roberts3741]

It really is. And they're not even funny.

[@kyolym]

I agree totally, The talk shows today including shows like SNL are nothing but political propaganda rhetoric. The comedy and talk is all politically based bias and one sided. Good old fashioned comedy has been erased.

[@guyfroml]

Joe, it's more than just political rhetoric, it's anti-Trump rhetoric, anti-conservative rhetoric, anti-anyone who disagrees with them rhetoric. They have clearly chosen sides and it is not with patriotic Americans. Johnny made a point of staying clear of all this.

Also funny was the night that Reynolds' then girlfriend Sally Field came on the show at some point after that and she and Carson basically reenacted the shaving creme bit. It's on KZbin somewhere.

[@kenowens9021]

Dom DeLouis was on just before and did an egg trick that worked, then they started throwing eggs. So when Reynolds came out, he started with the whip cream, and Carson did the pants and then rubbed it. After Reynolds did Carson's pant, Carson grabbed the whip cream and re-inserted it into his pants and Reynolds bent over backwards laughing. Few weeks later, Sally Field came on with shaving cream, saying the Reynolds told her it would make Carson laugh. Carson took the can, put a bunch on his hand and inserted it inside her blouse, then on top of her head and all over her legs. Lot of laughs at both episodes.

[@maucommaero2368]

Back then, you would have a ruff day and always came home and know your evening was going to end really good when you were in bed watching Johnny. I grew up watching him, and into adulthood and he was always there thru thick and thin. I sure miss those days where it was not all full of political hatred. The younger set now watches late night shows who's only agenda is to be on the Trump bashing sickness. Saturday night live is just not worth watching anymore, nor any of the late night shows. Too bad because the younger generation will never know.

[@williamanthony9090]

MauComm Aero- There's a big difference between political humor, and political commentary, and the three goofs doing late night now, don't seem to understand that difference. Night after night it's "Attack Trump," with their studio audiences howling approval, at the behest of their producers, like trained seals! All three of them have lost middle America, and don't seem to give a damn. Meanwhile, in nearly every market where they've aired Carson reruns in those time slots, the reruns have tied, or surpassed, the current late night shows in the ratings-- And STILL the stooges persist with their GARBAGE! Maybe the college age crowd adore them, but that's not the demographic that will keep their paychecks coming over time. Only two things can happen: Either the three stooges will fade out and be replaced, OR the late night talk show, once an American television staple, will eventually die out!

[@Melinda8162]

[@danc3693]

Reynolds came on Carson once without a hairpiece - I was very surprised, a first as far as I know. Anyway, he wasn’t as bald as I thought - a lot if dark fuzz with hairline having receded a bit. I thought he looked great natural and thought he should it more - though I’m sure some movie characters would’ve still required a hair piece for a role.

I read Carson had David Brenner as a guest frequently because he KNEW he would always be funnier than David and would never be upstaged!

[@gigib8849]

That’s sad because I found Brenner hilarious. I loved the story he told about taping fish eyes to his forehead and hiding in the clothes hamper with a flashlight to scare his sister or mom. It was so funny because it was so genuine and plausible.

[@kipwilliam5593]

It was his abusive, bona fide attitude that destroyed his career & with his immense fame he took advantage of that golden moment & lost respect. As an actor aside from that one movie, his career was silly action movies that perhaps sold well. He was his own worst enemy & he self destructed & lost Hollywood respect. A nasty loveless marriage ending in a nasty divorce & drug addiction was the final nail in the coffin. Unlike his peers such as Clint Eastwood, he never had the talent to re invent himself. Perhaps attitude issues made him unpopular
