David Letterman Talks About Thanksgiving And His Childhood Pet Turkey on Carson Tonight Show

David Letterman tells a Thanksgiving Day story from when we was a child, on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Airdate - 11/27/1986 #johnnycarson #davidletterman

I love how David Letterman never misses a chance to thank Johnny for his success. He was always very appreciative and respectful of Johnny Carson. They are so funny together. 😂😂😂

I loved the mention of Humphrey the whale. I lived in Sacramentowhen he got stuck in the channel. It was a huge story and we all followed it. Daily!

[@sbgoldma]

Aahh!!! The good old days. Miss these guys. Real professionals 👍👏👏👏

[@thegameshowguy1]

Steve Goldman Me too. And I was born ten years after this show aired. The fun couldn’t end on Late Night. The Tonight Show with Johnny, then Late Night with Dave. Two hours of awesome entertainment. You don’t really see that now with Fallon and Meyers or even Colbert and Corden.

[@sbgoldma]

@@thegameshowguy1 Absolutely!

[@randyerb6839]

Dave is such a "Dog Man" (as am I) that he's literally crying after that joke...As am I!!! Miss these Titans of Comedy. At least we still have Dave. Stay safe guarding the Coasts of Indiana!!

So good

[@thegovernmentshill]

David Letterman's shoes are sooooo badass.

[@JamesJohnson-ys1zl]

I used to hear all the time that if a comic made tha tonight show that chair next to Johnny ya made it after that the world knew ya different times huh what a show

[@phyllishannah7305]

Yes I thank the camera man too.! God Bless You Sweetheart.!!!!😊😊😊❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

[@randyerb6839]

Dedicated to (former) Navy Secretary Thomas Modly... Dave: "They said I was 'TOO fit'...I've always admired the NAVY."

[@bigd-1-channel514]

The last 2 real TV hosts on one stage. Shame NBC screwed them both over.

[@thegameshowguy1]

Big D -1- Channel I’d give Conan and Craig Ferguson honourable mentions.

[@larrybud]

How did NBC screw over Johnny? He retired on his own timeline.

[@user-hm5zb1qn6g]

good punchline

[@rc5989]

Letterman, the king of the tldr anecdotal underwhelming payoff. It is funny, because I laughed, but no one can really explain why.

[@psadelachute363]

R C What does «tldr» mean ? 🧐

[@rc5989]

PSA de Lachute sorry, it is message board jargon for “too long don’t read” since Johnny pointed out that Dave’s story was already too long to ‘make a long story short’.

[@ejflor1313]

If you don’t know why that was funny you’re a fucking moron. Have a nice day

[@carywaltonjr.9671]

Wow..

[@least_512]

And there it is, always wondered why Letterman lost out on getting The Tonight Show gig. Don't poke fun at Ed`s liver and don't piss off Johnny.

[@MrSteelermania]

Lol they both loved Dave and continued to support him after moving to CBS, unlike that wretch Leno

[@ronaldo101000]

Liver joke i spit my water out laughing. Ed had lost his edge and sense of humor by this time. Prob because he was sober. That was hilarious

[@4698mags]

Handsome David, Julia Roberts favorite, he's got a crush on her

[@robertgreen9150]

Ate the dog!

[@armadilllo]

huh? had they not told me who these people he was imitating I would have never known, only reason I guessed Colombo was the eye.

[@lupitaseoane7466]

High-quality night show….. nowadays, ALL of them trashy!!! Writers and hosts, ugghh!!!!

[@Strangenstein]

Johnny was always a class act, and I love the Letterman of this period and into the 90s. When he became angry and political he lost me as a fan.

[@reference2me]

Not funny

[@gaylestockwell5315]

Letterman is over rated
