For those wondering why the feel here is so relaxed and conversational: this episode is from 1978, which was during the 8 year period the Tonight Show was 90 minutes long instead of the now-customary hour long show. This interview took place in the final half-hour, when more unusual guests could come on and there was plenty of time to go in-depth on a subject.

The biggest problem TV producers face today is the public's short attention span -- particularly those who have grown up with the internet and social media. When I was a kid, we had 6 channels -- the 3 networks and 3 local stations. That was it. And it was fine. At night, I watched a couple of the network shows, Honeymooner re-runs at 11 p.m., and Johnny Carson at 11:30. We couldn't pause shows or skip through commercials. "Cable" was a word that came before "car" and "stream" was something you swam in. Today we have 500 channels, endless streaming options, millions of videos and dozens of social media outlets, all vying for our time and attention. That's why the networks and cable TV make their shows as glitzy and fast-paced and controversial and edgy as possible -- all while appealing to the lowest common denominator. Everyone's trying to push the envelope and quality suffers as a result. I hate to sound like the old guy in the room (I'm 56, so maybe I am) but the internet has not only shortened everyone's attention span, but has also made society more cynical, malicious, desensitized and ignorant -- and I'm afraid it's only going to keep getting worse.

Johnny '"I'd go back to your hotel with you for $300." He made me laugh out loud all these years later. This interview and how Johnny was throughout it is a classic example of why he'll always be the king. You could tell going in he had no idea how it was going to go...but letting Frank talk(which he loved to do) and asking just a few great questions that he figured the audience would be interested in, made it an fantastic 10 minutes. He's the best. It's amazing it took so long for someone in Hollywood to make a movie based on his story. Johnny and the audience's reaction should have been a pretty good clue that people were ripe to see this on the big screen.

I've been honest ever since.

All while this was going on, several reporters in different papers published a few articles where his whole story was debunked (I think Carson saw the article in the San Francisco Chronicle about how Carson had been conned and stopped having him on), but by the time the film came out, no one seemed to care.

I worked with Frank in Houston . He was my boss. I had no idea at the time who he was . After the film came out I was shocked! I emailed him and he remembered me and sent me his book, autographed, his other book and some other things he had to share. I still have it. He was a very nice guy. At the time I worked with him, he showed me his photograph album with the stewardesses he withed with when he was a pilot. He was something else! He has a wife and children/ grandchildren now.

This is one the most genuinely funny and riveting interviews I've seen. Johnny does a great job of letting the guest tell their own story--doesn't interrupt constantly. And Frank genuinely made me laugh a couple of times, real belly-laugh, enough so that it made my dogs freak out, LOL. I find interviews like this one so interesting, I think, because I almost married a gentleman who was a great con-man. Thank God I had a very good friend who spotted some inconsistencies in some of my would-be betrothed statements, and alerted me. I was able to double-check on some of the things he told me and found not a single thing to be true--and he'd said them with a totally straight face. Frank's story should be paid attention to and lessons learned. Thank you, Johnny!

@@scottykay1116 No, after I broke it off with him, I never saw him again--but I did discover when he left that he'd robbed me of a few things, my Dad's old six-shot revolver being one of them. I was alone with small children at the time, and Dad didn't want me so vulnerable, so he loaned the pistol. Dad reported it stolen of course, but we never recovered it. Anyway, he completely disappeared, nobody in town ever saw him again. One of the benefits of small towns, everybody knows everybody, and with my parents being deacons at our local church, the townspeople took it especially seriously and did look out for him. Anyway--lesson learned. "Trust but verify" is a great watch-word! Cheers!

Wonderful interview. As you can see here, Johnny was really paying attention and not trying to make funny comments. George Peppard was listening intently and asking smart questions too. I read Frank's book, Catch Me If You Can. It was amazing. And remember, all of Frank's exploits he had to figure out for himself. There was no internet or KZbin videos to show him the way.

Funny thing about this episode for me is that about this time, in 1980 I 'pretended' to be an NBC talent employee (I was only 14). I met Johnny every day for a week or so. I also met Doc, and Tommy Newsom and visited every set along the 'hallway'. While watching one of the shows I decided to cruise the hallways again (this time I went to a show taping as an audience member) and I was asked if I wanted to go to the 'green room' and watch the Carson Show as the security at the door thought I was talent on one of the other shows. Great times, harmless fun and a fun story to tell.

Wow!!! same thing happened to me accept I was only 13 and I pretended to be Johnny's chauffer. Do you remember David Shoblesteighn from back then?!! What a guy. Anyhow, Johnny caught Dave sleeping with his wife and he asked me(not knowing I was only 11 years old) to kill old Shobes for him. I called Dave into the green room on an off day and did my best Johnny impression which was hard since I was only 9 years old at the time. I pulled it off and after I was done I drug his dead body through the set and low and behold, Johnny was right in the middle of taping a show😂Why with this 7 year old kid just dragging a bloody body across the stage we all had a good laugh. After we killed all the witnesses we went for martinis.

He did pass several bad cheques,supposedly issued by Pan Am. But incredibly used his own name on each dud check, making it easy to track him down.

I've been a fan of Thomas Sowell since the first video I saw. I appreciate his blunt approach even though, for some, it's hard to take. I say, if you can't face the truth, you will always live in the dark and be doomed to a life of insecurity. Truth provides security. Sowell is the best presenter of social historical truth in America. He's a rare historian, one who looked at history, without prejudice or concern for the response from the official line of historical fiction that we've all been fed, since birth. To me, he's a true patriot, in that he loves people enough to tell them the truth they need, to be successful and happy. The patriot part comes from making Americans fully aware, so that we can now see the operations against us and stop it, which is our civic duty according to the Constitution. Thanks much for sharing these videos! America needs this truth pill before it's too late.

Frank didn't smoke, drink, or do drugs, his passion was women. In the book "Catch Me If You Can", which came out years before the movie of the same name, he tells of this encounter with this lady. He says he had before and since been with better women than her. This encounter is also in the movie. The book is better, but the movie is very good. If you haven't seen it, you should. Movie trivia: One of the French cops arresting Frank (Leonardo DiCaprio) is the real Frank Abagnale Jr shown in this interview, but he's much older.
