Oh, Bill does love to hear himself talk. I don't know why he even bothers inviting guests.

Carvey gets lots in, it’s a conversation more so than an interview.

[@andreasleonhard1512]

This reminds me of how Bill Maher disliked Kyle Dunnigan's impression of himself. It is funny how he can see it in others, but not in himself. ;)

[@September2004]

I agree. I saw him do that on the Joe Rogan show. You would think, of all people, he could take it.

[@GutsBatman]

Usually how it works. Your best qualities/skills also tend to be your biggest blind spots. I tend to attribute that to believing that quality in that quality makes someone believe they don't require self-defense mechanisms in place to close the blind spot. The danger only increases when someone trains that quality/skills up over time. Leads to a lot of "God I should have seen that coming..." events. Impressions are kind of the talking equivalent of nut shots. We always say "It's always funny until some kicks you in the nuts" and impressions create the same effect verbally.

[@lisasolier504]

Bill really hated Kyle Dunnigan’s impression of him. Seemed angry about it.

[@xp50player]

It ruined his life😅

[@brockreynolds870]

This is ironic, because BILL is sitting there as a caricature of himself, sitting in these chairs thinking he's the coolest kid in school, smoking joints the size of cigars are being drunk off his ass. a 62 year old man acting like a teenager who thinks he's cool... deluded into thinking he's still at the top of his game. Dana Carvey is 5 years OLDER than Bill... but here, easily comes off as 10 years younger. He has so much more vitality and positive energy.

[@RankinImagery]

Interesting point.

[@cisium1184]

Carvey's only two years older, but your point still holds. Carvey definitely comes across younger than his age and happier than most comics. I think he had some health issues earlier in life and often that recalibrates one's attitude to life (so I'm told).

[@brockreynolds870]

@@cisium1184 Thanks! I must have bee mistaken, because Carvey is 67, and I thought I remember Maher stating he is 62.... but perhaps that was a older video.

[@September2004]

Last year, I realized that it had been 30 years since Johnny retired. For someone to have hosted for that long. So many world events occur during that time.

[@steveconn]

"Cold as the Nebraska wind..." good line, Bill. Wayne Newton actually went right into Johnny's office to tell him to cut out the gay jokes at his expense night after night...he wasn't everybody's buddy.

Towards Carson's final years, it was obvious that his voice, memory and delivery was getting bad. He still was the greatest.

[@johnsjohnson448]

I am of the thinking that during Mr. Carson's final three years of hosting that he was suffering health issues from years of smoking which he had then recently quit.

Its like Tom Brady at 44. He couldnt sling the ball like he used to. But he could still get it there most of the time at a slower pace.

Bill's drinking and smoking weed during the show looks cool to Bill only. He becomes sloppy in his speech and his brain slows down. He will notice it 5 years too late. Sad

[@cisium1184]

Totally agree, and the sad thing is it's being repeated in all over the country. I still don't believe the law should save people from themselves - but don't bullshit me: it's not cool, it's not curing your depression, it's not harmless. It's an addiction and a crutch and it makes you less than you could be and _everybody else can fucking see it,_ even if you're too fucking stoned to see it. (The generic "you" here, not you obviously.)

[@chrisolivo6591]

@@onamattapeeya I agree with you that there is alot to jokes you can do on Trump, but that’s not my point. They don’t go after the other side, that’s where they lost me as partisan humor, is lame humor. If they hit Biden every night in the monologue and went after Pelosi and VP Harris just as they go after Trump and McConnell, that’s cool with me. My beef is they are being partisans for the Democrat party and aren’t even hiding it anymore. Jimmy Kimmel said the ABC executives asked him to tone down his Trump jokes because he’s essentially lost ratings because 1/2 the country tuned out. He said no, he was all-in on Trump humor. Why the hell should I even bother watching Kimmel? Colbert? Myers? It would be no different if Dennis Miller had a late night show during Obama years and shit on him every night and never touched the Republicans in his monologue. Boring! I honestly don’t get it that these guys are willing to lose viewers simply because they hate Trump? Sorry that’s not comedy. They are just a funnier version of Sean Hannity or Rachel Maddow every night playing to the partisan sheep.

[@onamattapeeya]

@@chrisolivo6591 I've seen plenty of jokes on talk shows about Joe Biden, the reason it's not proportionate is because there's way more to make fun of trump for, I've seen jokes about Pelosi and her "poo poo" statement, another example is Mitch McConnell he is very fertile ground for jokes because of his resemblance to a particular type of reptile, so the jokes cannot be distributed equally because of these obvious reasons, as for Kamala Harris there was a good sketch where Maya Rudolph played her on Saturday night live, and honestly there's not much about her to joke about because she's kept relatively silent, so if you were going to make jokes about these Democrats what would they be? And I mean funny jokes not cheap political insults so jokes about the president stuttering or the vice president wearing knee pads is not acceptable, and what jokes would you have about Republican politicians since your concern is making jokes about everyone equally
