Timeless, and Transcends All Generations and Races. True wholesome entertainment. One of the best appearances by Anyone on the Tonight show. Ever.

From 4:20 it descends into perfect chaos, which I loved! You can see just how much Johnny was enjoying this. He was not annoyed, he loved every moment of it.

[@gartwilliams3347]

I remember seeing this when it first aired. It was nothing but amazing and hilarious!👏👏👏

[@bonniebairn844]

Me too!

[@jerryboswell3849]

I've seen it twice on Antenna TV network, couldn't help but "bust out laughing" just so enjoyable watching this guy, It's the way he said things that made it more funny

[@George-wz5se]

pretending to be off-balance on a unicycle is more difficult than actually balancing on a unicycle 👏👏👏

[@michaelfox2256]

Johnny loved these kinds of acts

[@felixramos3078]

This guy was fenomenal. I wonder what happened to such a talented showman.

[@lewiscarey6984]

Phenomenal would be correct! 👍

[@ChrisGarciaJuggles]

[@Airestotle09]

His name is Frank Olivier. Aired on 03/11/1987. Season 25, Episode 110.

[@goinsouth051]

I’m dying laughing 🤣 .

[@juanitasnider1947]

That was funny. Thanks for sharing. I did some weed eating and my back has been really acting up. Sore back brace all afternoon. Hope you are feeling well. Keith was telling me about you putting your mother in a better place and I am so glad it is a good one. I’m tired I got a few things to check out then I’m going to bed. Good night sleep well. 💕

[@patrickmurphy2817]

When you realize that he has replicated every "mistake" in his act over and over again

[@johnking5174]

You have to have real balls of steel to use Johnny Carson's head as a support for yourself on a uni-cycle seen here at 5:15

[@fatimaezzahrazouhair2630]

cool control!

[@007coleyfoley]

COLEY FOLEY NEVER: FUCKIN SAW THIS BEFORE, BUT THIS WAS FUCKIN FUNNY...! HAHAHA!

[@jennifer86010]

It's very surprising that Carson would allow this juggler to physically use him in his act as he flashed the torches near Carson's head. Even though it was part of the act, accidents do happen, and the band members were freaked out when he rode his unicycle near them, not only for their physical safety, but for the safety of their instruments. Professional musicians spend decades trying to find and afford their best instrument, and they protect it the same way a mother protects her baby.

[@THE-HammerMan]

Jennifer... I hate to say this, but you're a dingbat! ALL the seemingly out of control on the unicycle stuff was intentional. He's SO skilled that he made it look easy, but the crazy "out of control" cycling is actually HARDER to do than anything else on the unicycle.

[@AstroBilly777]

From what I've seen, physical acts such as stunts or magic are still performed at dress rehearsal with the cast and crew. Any kind of potential for danger is communicated beforehand and agreed upon to reduce any risk before airing live. Also, if you watch any of Oliviers other appearances you'll see that all his tricks are presented to look unprepared, that's just how good he is ; )

[@jennifer86010]

@@AstroBilly777 I'm sure Oliver is very good at what he does, but he hasn't shown all the mistakes and accidents he has had before he got this good. Nobody is perfect 100% of the time no matter what profession he/she is in. Accidents do happen, even after careful rehearsal and planning. The more any stunt artist pushes the envelope, especially involving fire, the more likely an accident will happen. It's one thing if a performer hurts himself, but if he hurts others in his act, he is liable for damages and he will be kicked out of show businesses. Siegfried and Roy (and their audiences over the years) also thought there was no possible danger from their live tigers, until finally the day came when one of the cats all but killed Roy within a few feet of the audience.

[@USERID412-k7n]

Johnny was a hell of a good sport to agree to his role in the act.
