Celebrities Who Johnny Carson Banned From the Tonight Show

Celebrities Who Johnny Carson Banned From the Tonight Show
Johnny Carson was the undisputed host of The Tonight Show for 30 long years. As its host, it’s his job to make his guests comfortable, but not all guests were given the privilege to return to his segment. But that’s only to his welcomed guests; you see, through the years, the comedian has accumulated quite several personas that he refused to return to his show.

[@mccarthyscreative4108]

You put all this time into these great clips and then put an automated voice to it. You're nuts. No way I will EVER subscribe to something like this.

[@qttm]

I would have enjoyed this had a real person narrated, unfortunately all of these AI voices/narrators ruin the entire video with their monotone, mispronounced method of speech. I'd much rather hear a real person do the narration.

[@mangafq8]

Agreed❤

[@christylove5807]

So many AI spoken videos here now. Lazy. No integrity in so many channels. They just steal everyone's hard work and don't even have the decency to 😮use their own voice

[@javystrait1]

100% agree!

[@brianehni5918]

The continued mispronunciations kept drawing me out of the narration.

[@johnwalters1055]

Agreed

[@chippowell1]

If you can't take the time, to narrate your video yourself, then why even be on KZbin?

[@qttm]

Thank you!!

[@ThePiratemachine]

Didn't bother me.

[@bobgowa1475]

If this narration is the best of AI then I'll be doing voice work for life!

[@Mike7O7O]

Interesting. But the monotone AI voice kills it.

[@TheRealJoeMama1]

The crap background 'music' makes it unwatchable.

[@russbell6418]

The stupid AI not quite thesaurus is worse. Accumulated personas? Come on, don’t you double check this crap?

[@SantaLorena]

Horrid. I watched about a third before I gave up.

[@afloydianslip8613]

No it's at least a tritone.

[@philjorgensen1950]

Americans were more connected with each other, in those wonderful Johnny Carson Days! (I sat in the audience in Nov 78 - guest Charleton Heston)

[@jjcashman]

I agree with previous comments; questionable facts, incredibly atrocious narration.

[@dollarBill007]

He banned me too. I never did appear on his show.

[@bb.cute.channel]

Please add index to this video so we can jump to each actor and actress. 👍👍

[@bo-rale584]

And yet, Mandel made several more appearances on Carson up to 1991 (most of those appearances can be found on KZbin)

[@oldcarnocar]

howie mandrell

[@pauladouglas9891]

Barbara Mandrell Howie Mandel

[@johngraves6878]

This documentary deserves a real voiceover, because it's really good. You will lose viewers because of this robot.

[@thedriszen8350]

For those who can't tell... the narration for this piece is computer-generated, so it mis-pronounces several words, and its inflections add to the hit-and-miss. This outright butchers this piece in places. Are pro announcers really that expensive to hire? As for the actual subject... Carson's hit list... some of these are legit real, while others are over-played or outright wrong. Johnny had emotions and an ego like anyone else, and his long career at the top gave him plenty of influence and leeway with networks, that he used. Even legends have flaws.

[@jzenick]

While talking about Bob Hope, they show a clip of Don Rickles 😆

[@pamelav4628]

Loved Wayne Newton as a kid singing Danke Schoen. He was great!

[@MrOnyxpony]

Although, he always pronounced it wrong. He's always said, "Dunk a Shane". lol

[@tonymarotta7200]

I miss you Joan Rivers

[@robinsredbrest1991]

Sandra has a face only a mother could love 😮

[@granthurlburt4062]

the term is "set foot". NOT "step foot"!

[@markjamesmeli2520]

Who put this together? This is terrible!!

[@russphilly]

yes pure shit

[@stevie-ray2020]

I never liked Carson, but then I'm not an American!

[@mset68]

do not waste your time!!!

[@lindawilson2589]

Or at least start at 1:30 point because the first minute and a half is just to make a longer video.

[@freemarketjoe9869]

Carson was pure gold. A real class act. Look what crap it all is now. Johnny earned the right to run the show his way. He was old school. Treat Johnny respectfully, he'll return the favor.

[@user-sz6uy3ie3g]

Class act? I suggest you read "King of the Night" (I can't think of the author). He wasn't a pretty picture.

[@RevdGeraldJones]

This video is pure crap with no confirmation on any of these stories!

[@tthoy7338]

Johnny Carson was a comedic legend & icon !! His quick wit was extraordinary!

[@user-bl1km1rw9v]

Oprah did the same Thing

[@christineweaver3090]

Nat u r ally? Did skynet take over or..how is it that the robot misspeaks a word but then later its corrected?

[@VeryLikeLeigh]

There are so many mispronunciation of words in these videos, it's irritating! Why don't they hire a real person to narrate?

[@DanielJohnston-go6tw]

There's several videos to pick from, with the thumbnail stating, " guests banned from the Tonight Show, by Johnny himself. Could this just be, back then, Johnny's inner hatred of others, because he deep down inside, hated himself? Maybe that would explain the drinking years Johnny went thru? Going thru a few wives along the way?

[@Pravuss]

So who's the blonde in the thumbnail?

[@GetALifeMiley]

Howie Mandell wasn’t funny. His “comedy” was lame

[@cliffordbowman6777]

Frogs aren’t really funny. Most Canadians got no sense of humor. Like trudeau

[@DjangoPorter]

this is already bullcrap hate

[@Karen-ed4yr]

Johnny was talented but insecure, easily hurt & downright childish !!!!!

[@michaelweeks6053]

I like how you mistook Tommy Smothers for Johnny Carson @8:21. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lame.

[@SantaLorena]

And David Janssen for Frank Sinatra.

[@mrbeaverstate]

More of a hit piece on Carson.

[@leftylou6070]

I'd much rather be watchin' Tom Snyder on TV.

[@DennisFreitas-bn7nh]

Nobody is real in Television or Hollywood. 👹

[@sallydavidson4471]

"Staloni" " Arroghances" don't waste your time!

[@johnnypk1963]

The video would much better w clips of the offending moments from the show

[@SueProv]

This video is a fake for real commentary.

[@IdaSlapter2023]

How is it that AI pronounced the words correctly only some of the time. In the same sentence Howie MAN-dle and Howie man- DELL. Stallone’s aro-GAN-sis. It’s distracting from an otherwise good video. Great archives!

[@LucasPenido]

Só, now they ‘re all gone, and what did these feuds were good for?! Yes, nothing! That’s why we should invest our energy in love!

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

At the beginning of this I'm like "Yeah, maybe he had a point there." At the end I'm like "Carson is petty muthaf&*ka."

[@AWikkedMoon]

Where's Farrah Faucet? She got banned.

[@lisetravis]

I have never appeared on the show. I was never even asked!

[@daringmore6892]

Thank you, it's interesting to hear some of the old beliefs why people didn't get invited. If I was a star and I wanted to be interviewed I'd call and ask. Egos are so big by these selfish greedy people so male hate driven too in HOLLYWOOD CA.

[@huhehiho9892]

The person in picture with Carson at 6:37 isn't Sinatra. So not so accurate of a video.

[@christineweaver3090]

So like ellen?

[@auntiem873]

Having grown up with that show. Carson didn’t shy away from telling the audience that a person was banned from the show. Most of the time he would be polite about it and just say they were to busy. Bob Hope was not having failing memory at that time. He just couldn’t stop doing old jokes. Carson got tired of that. He even said so. He never Banned Hope though. Bob Hope was a busy man and just didn’t book himself on the show. Carson had a problem with Howie Mandel being a germ a phobe. He refused to accommodate Howie’s rules. Frank Sinatra also was never banned. He was a busy man and didn’t like flying out to Burbank and then hoping back on the plane to do another show. Sandra Barnard was just too crass towards the end. Her comedy was not what he liked. When he asked her not to do certain things on the show she did them anyway and the audience tuned out, he lost ratings. As such, he stopped booking her. He made no effort to hide that and told people the next night she would not be back. Almost the same with Wayne Newton. Wayne always had bazaar rants on the show. He wasn’t funny the last time I saw him on the show was when he claimed to be a direct descendent of Pocahontas. His weird rants is what got him banned. Joan Rivers knows full well why she got banned. He felt it was a betrayal from her to compete with him on the late nigh comedy show thing that was happening back then. She was a contender to take over from him when he retired. She started her own show and that hurt him. Then she went on the Arsino Hall show and that pushed him over the edge.

[@johnmcafee6835]

Carson wouldn't make a pimple on a comedian's ass.

[@auntiem873]

@@johnmcafee6835 - that’s the other way around. The comedian wouldn’t be a pimple on his ass. If you lived during that time, you’d know how powerful he was. He made people’s careers. They, themselves destroyed it.

[@johnmcafee6835]

I was eighteen when he took over the tonight show. I watched the best comedians from the 50's.@@auntiem873

[@dimviesel]

Lola Falana was Amazing!!!

[@brianbetz7030]

Oxford definition; officially or legally prohibit.

[@pamelamyers9613]

Why are you using a word like personal? It is misused in this sentence and subject.

[@Doc1855]

And where is Carson spending eternity?

[@robertberryhill4033]

Carson was very good, but i think he didn't like anyone who he thought would out shine him or poke funny at him

[@melliott333]

It's true he had likes and dislikes and an ego; it was usually apparent to regular Carson watchers. At times he appeared very petty. Even so, he was the best in the late night business; no one has ever managed to make late night watching a "have to" habit as Carson did.

[@SueProv]

Charles Grodin and Don Rickles and Rodney Dangerfield did pretty well with him.

[@curtistate8524]

Terrible AI narration

[@ediewilson4043]

Pathetic reading of the script. So many mispronounced names and words. Hard to take this seriously.

[@ForWendy-pi5oc]

Its a text to speech program - mine reads the same way and mispronounces words which is why I recognize the way text to speech program read.

[@ThomasSeitz-dz9rn]

Carson a childish overly sensitive brat who let his own ego get in the way when his guest were just having fun. A spoiled little brat who thought he was more important than anybody else and couldn't take a joke. If you can't laugh at yourself than don't laugh at others. What Carson really needed was a good kick in the ass.

[@mangafq8]

As a 70 yr old woman, I did not even recognize Lola's name, practically. Everyone else, of course. But really, I don't know her.

[@patbenicio2868]

He actually wasn’t the nicest guy as everyone wants to believe. Only because he was funny 🤪🤨

[@TroyHoward-id6wx]

😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Jonny Carson was very persnickety about his guest indeed so... he was very much against... ("KERFUFFLE")!!! Which made him ill and thier for a little cantankerous... THE END.

Ohh my

I'd pick Johnny over Frank any day.

[@user-re8ly9ig2v]

I always liked Johnny and these few people were not Johnny's bread and butter

[@gaylestockwell5315]

He was well known for competing with his guests and always wanted to control and have the punchline. He's known at the time to be very abusive to women his wives and consorts and wasn't faithful to his wives and why they were paid well for his infidelity. People say he was a classy guy but far from the truth. He had hush money. Just wish someone with guts would come forward and tell the truth. He wasn't nice at all just a smarmy guy with money and clout. An ego that couldn't be satisfied.

[@joseluisflores45]

If it Was today jonny Would be banned.

[@peternighswander9629]

Joan was quite lovely

[@elliottg.1954]

Sorry but A.I. just doesn't work here. And Bob Hope wasn't funny.

[@zachkucera3793]

Thank you for saying that about Hope. I have seen reels of him doing stand up overseas and it just isn't funny at all. It is almost grade school humor.

[@ceciliarosenberg4874]

If Carson didn’t like you,you would never make it in show business.

[@tertommy]

Johnny banned me also.

[@DestructZero6471]

You lost me with the very first statement - "Johnny Carson was the undisputed host of The Tonight Show for 30 long years." Yeah, I suppose it's true that it's undisputed that he was the host. I think you left something out. And seriously, what's the deal with the woman in the thumbnail? CLICKBAIT.

[@MixedUpSignals]

I am sick of shallow Ai click bait.

[@danielhackney7806]

Yep, politics will get people worked into a frenzy pretty fast. I've seen some "Trump Derangement Syndrome" emotional outbursts. Seems late night shows are all about politics theses days so no need to watch them. I get my political fix watching MSNBC, CNN and FOX. I don't really need to see a repeat on Late Night shows. Maybe that's why Late Night can't hold a candle to Carson's old shows. Alienating 50% of the public doesn't make for outstanding ratings. Carson knew it and wisely avoided the pit fall. It made him the KING of Late Night.

[@DeniseZech]

Took too long to get to the list… forget it

[@janicewhite9539]

Poor person did you age well think before you say anything

[@undercoloroflaw]

Nobody knows what really happened except those in play. The explanations given were more than plausible and very believable. It was a different time back then. People didn't brawl in the streets, they simply avoided their rivals, unlike today. Today we have preambles of foreplay before the battle...AOC AND MTG for example. I wish I could say this is what 'civilized' barbarism looks like but it just can't command a serious state from such an absurdly laughable position of pure and unscathed mockery of FOOLISHNESS! How undisciplined do you have to be in flaunting your ignorance? I know ridicule, bullying and mockery are 'common' in today's age but THAT display in Congress was BEYOND unconscionable and CERTAINLY uncommon --- even among us commoners. RANT OVER.

[@dustup2249]

I quit watching at 3:26 when I realized that your entire upload was innuendo, speculation and uncredited quotations from producers, Carson himself or Carson's straight man Ed McMahon.

[@rpshumaker]

I liked Johnny Carson, but after he died heard how vengeful he was. I knew he treated Joan Rivers like dirt-jealousy!

Does anyone think this is the voice of BRADY BRANDWOOD? He's the guy who lives in Georgia and bought a grocery store lobster, and named it Leon. I LOVE Leon by the way. But this sounds so much like his voice, only being put through AI. Brady? Is this your voice? You enjoy doing dox.....this is a doc. To his channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6SsaIqsmrNqrM0

I played tennis as a competitor with Menlo College, CA Men's Tennis Team - 1978. My late Dad competed for the Lawrenceville School, NJ in boys' tennis. So -- when I discovered that Johnny Carson played tennis and SMOKED CIGARETTES -- I sent him a note STRONGLY SUGGESTING THAT HE QUIT SMOKING! He never responded. Johnny died from his FRICKIN' TOXIC SMOKING HABIT! This is not rocket science, folks! Peace & clean air, Cav. *

This is dreadful. "Commy DEE-ANN". There's have to a be few amatuer actors nearby that you could get to do these things.

[@fiddleronthecube7835]

I side with Wayne Newton. I can't stand Joan Rivers. She's her own best fan. Tommy Smothers impersonated Carson but didn't speak. He only did the mannerisms Maybe Carson didn't like Rich Little imitating Carson's voice. Little was the best at imitating voices.

[@seansvoice]

Wow... I was about to subscribe until I noticed your AI narration. FOR SHAME - you put legitimate voice actors out of work. For shame!

[@josephsomma4277]

Joan Rivers didn't die having surgery she was seen coming out of a building without a wig and no makeup an older guy was helping walk down the steps and and ot was her voice you can hear it was her. I was working at the Essex house on 59th Street in Manhattan and a friend of my father Bobby came up stairs where we were working he said he knocked on a door he had too get in and do some work and Judy Garland answered the door that was 1975 she was supposed have died in 1969 . You can't believe all of this garbage when they want too get out of the public eye they make believe they died. The same with David Bowie alot of them are still alive.

[@dianemora3602]

Not wasting my time on AI narration

[@desertcat9182]

I never liked Johnny Carson.. I never considered him a comedic legend & icon at all. Not by a long shot. He was always full of himself, loved to hear himself talk especially talked over his guests. His pissy attitude towards Joan Rivers was astonishing. Because she didn't get permission from Johnny to start her own show??!! So he banned her! Fk him! Dick Cavett had a far superior show. And he respected his guests and let them talk!!
