@@marcchandler1436 You don't have to think that he said, 'Good stuff.' He *absolutely* said, 'good stuff'.

[@irishsox1]

His imitations are funny. He finds the humor every time!

[@nordvegfigg7746]

The thing is - Carson knew when to let comedians do their thing. Carson's timing was as important if not more important than the comedian's. He knew exactly the right moment to step in, be the straight man, set up for a bit, and the really good comedians knew he was doing it and would take their cues from Johnny. It's amazing to watch now decades later. I never realized it at the time how crucial Johnny was to the comedian sitting in the chair beside him. It's a lost art. No talk show host today has these skills and the impeccable timing.

[@JoeDitzel]

Good point. This video really shows it. He sets them up very quickly and effortlessly, smooth and concise, then sits back with a smile and lets them shine. Then he senses the bit is over and quickly sets the stage for them again. And again. It's really something to watch - a master at the top of his game.

[@marinashear3818]

@@JoeDitzel And he doesn’t constantly interrupt his guests, intentionally embarrass or frighten them, or steal the limelight from them. Also, Johnny would have the occasional non-entertainer (average Joe) as a guest. I don’t watch Fallon, Corden, Meyers, Colbert, etc, because these guys think they are funnier than their guests, they talk over their guests, make their guests the butts of jokes and they are elitists. Give me Graham Norton any day; at least he’s entertaining.

[@MrBsbotto]

​@@JoeDitzelwell said, Joe. The beauty of Carson is that he really enjoys young comics and is really happy for their success. A lot of other hosts seem to have a vague resentment, like "hey, you're stealing my laughs! " Carson really understood the mechanics of comedy, the timing and always tried to help. Nowadays, the host would jump in with, "what was it like working with Madonna?" or some such buzzkill. Sigh.

Carson - still the best at bringing out the guest's talents without getting in the way like all the tools today.

[@leonardshevlin7260]

There is every reason to approach the host position that way. It's better for the guests and for the audience and for the ratings. Carson had the monologs and skits and the opportunities to display his wit during the interviews. He had a free pass to make fun of Ed and of Doc and of Freddy. That's enough and there's no need to compete with the guests. But some of today's hosts appear to be unable to take the support role with a guest who is ready, willing and able to entertain us.

[@gustafsone]

@@dalehall2067 I'm sorry, but this is such a BS comment. You see it all the time. SNL was GREAT when I was watching the show, but the "current" cast (pick a year, any year, because this has been said for decades!) is horrible and not funny at all! Well, I hate to break it to you, but SNL has always been hit-or-miss, even with the BEST cast they've ever had. You only remember the great sketches, but your brain forgot about the other dozens of bombs that even you didn't laugh at back when your favorite cast was on the air. I'm as guilty as anyone else when I think "oh man, SNL used to be so much better/funnier when so-and-so was in the cast!" but then if you actually watch the show, even the current cast has about the same funny/not funny ratio as all of the others. Everyone has their favorite cast of SNL, but that doesn't mean the other seasons aren't funny at all. I bet you'd be surprised if you actually tried to watch the show that you'd laugh at some of the sketches, even though you'd never admit to it.

@@ProducersInk He was lucky to have Dana to support him so loyally. More than half of their time together took place after his accident. It's great to see their son William is happy and successful despite losing both his parents as a child. They must have raised him very well. I was obsessed with the Superman films as a kid in the 1980s and could recite most of the script by heart after watching them repeatedly. He would've turned 70 this year. If he had lived, I know he would've appeared on screen as Superman again, given how all the old superhero actors are being brought back now. I think there are rumors he may be digitally recreated for a brief appearance in an upcoming film, like how they recreated Harold Ramis for Ghostbusters: Afterlife. If it can be done respectfully like that with his family's approval, then it could be a nice tribute.

Hi Anne I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹🌹🌹

My brother and I were in the crowd that night. I was out on Spring Break. Great afternoon.

seeing these guys when they were young and rising, you get a sense of how special their gift is

Dana Carvey is such a great impressionist and comic. He does a perfect Jimmy Stewart! He was so funny on SNL during a great time on SNL!
