Johnny Carson had a great way of putting every guest at ease.A great interviewer.

The very best. Loved Johnny Carson.

[@Rasscasse]

Johnny Carson has a great voice doesn’t he! I like him. Cheryl Ladd is just stunning. I adored her the first moment I saw her on the small screen. How she behaves here, just makes me adore her more.

[@sammcbride2149]

Recently in a podcast Cheryl said that Johnny made her feel very comfortable and was extremely professional.

[@UrbanTiger74]

Yup. I was 4 in '78. Cheryl and Jacklyn were my crushes.

[@asdv]

There was a honesty in these 70s talk shows. Today, it looks more set up. Cheryl looked amazing

[@patriciamooney928]

Guests came on knowing they would have a conversation. Today they are interested in only entertainment/gags or promoting a movie etc. No actual reality TV. Carson was reality TV.

[@dennisholst4322]

I guess ed didn't have much to say on that show

It's always been set up, choreographed.

[@paulojrneto]

Cheryl was in more Charlie's Angels episodes than Farrah or Kate, yet she's less remembered than those two.

[@dar76sh59]

There's reasons for it. Kate and Farrah (and Jaclyn) were the original Angels. They started it all. Farrah was the phenomenon. And Kate was cast as Angel No. 1 who also created the show with the producers and invented the name and concept of the show. She was an experienced actress and the leader who helped the far less experienced Farrah and Jaclyn a great deal. CA never recovered from Kate's departure.

[@renealexander2703]

Actually many people remember Cheryl, it's just that people are blacklisting her for some reason.

[@abcxyz8787]

As someone who's not American, I never understood why Johnny Carson was the number 1 host in the US for so long. He always struck me as being a bit nervous and awkward, which is not something you want from a talk show host.

[@kevinwalsh4652]

Right, you want a phony like Ellen, or Fallon, or Kimmel, or Colbert, without Johhny blazing the way, those mutts are serving fries 🍟 in Mcdonald's 🤔😳😲

[@jamesanthony5681]

Carson was simply better than the competition, his humor, intelligence and.quick wit being the differences. Carson made his guest that much better.

[@brookehanley3659]

Fallon is more nervous

[@stickman1742]

Ladd was a little more voluptuous, but other than that there were a lot of similarities.

[@brkitdwn]

Cheryl Ladd just didn't have the Farrah Pizzazz. It was a disappointment Farrah had left, and it ruined the show, as far as I was concerned.

[@renealexander2703]

Cheryl Ladd had a lot of Pizzazz. She had more depth than Jill.

[@TheSniperGTO]

Yeah. I thought she was prettier too. She seemed more wholesome and approachable. Farrah came back for an episode with Timothy Dalton (who ironically was described as a James Bond like jewel thief) and Farrah looked rough. Like she had been rode hard and put away wet. But, beauty is subjective. My Uncle Gary thought Kate Jackson was the hottest.

[@markaungst8975]

Disagree completely. She was my favorite Charlie's Angel. And much more beautiful than Farrah.
