Freud - the talking starling/Sturnus/ (1972)

Call the kitty! - An incredibly intelligent, talking bird :D

[@scarboroughjames7]

I love Johnny's reaction after he asks the bird how does the wolf go and the bird responds with a wolf whistle

[@rafaelsolorzano700]

What a classic episode.....it makes me crack up...

[@kaitlinobrenski1901]

Epic comedic timing! This trumps Howards srcastic laugh performance every time. I keep re-watching the wolf whistle at leasta dozen times when I clickon this clip! Please tell me which episode this is. I need to see the whole skit, BAD!!!

[@AndrewHeller-jn7dx]

​@@rafaelsolorzano700 This is ->NOT: an, episode;...-->>It is: a, clip of an animal segment.

[@ytafan4068]

At that moment, I bet Johnny was thinking, "Dirty bird!"

[@STNeish]

The look Johnny give him when he gets trolled is priceless.

[@kellydoub9462]

I agree.

[@donaldfleming5049]

The bird doing the wolf whistle is one of my absolute favorites. The is absolutely no way you're not laughing!😂

[@crazycappy01]

When Johnny asks "how does the wolf go?" And the bird gives him the wolf whistle, I damned there peed my pants from laughing.

[@Calliope0954]

Gotcha one better - I actually DID pee my pants! I laughed 'til I cried, but it was totally worth it!

[@crazycappy01]

​@Calliope0954 And as Johnny leans back in his chair, he looks at the bird with a "REALLY?" look on his face.

[@kurtschumacher9484]

I thought I was going to die laughing when I heard that.😂😂😂

[@lindatulis6214]

I can't count how many times I have watched this, still funny

[@subbaduvvuri3925]

Mine too.. this footage along with Howard brought in by Joan Embery are awesome..watch Carson vs Doc, the celebes Ape..it's Hilarious.. stomach hurts from laughing..

[@kellydoub9462]

Me too.

[@tygerman797]

One of my favorite segments. There will never be another Johnny Carson

[@netsurferx1]

JC: "How does the wolf go?" Freud: *Wolf whistles* JC: :| LOL!

[@Melissa-sx3mn]

Johnny + Animals = Classic

[@Iamacardinalfan]

This is one of the best clips ever on KZbin. That look on Johnny's face when that bird does his sound to the wolf is priceless.

[@crazycappy01]

After the bird gives Johnny the Wolf whistle, he looks at the bird like "REALLY?" LOL!!!

[@maestroh2986]

Classic show biz moment from a Myna bird. The Wolf line was a classic set up and performed to perfection.

[@CassieLopez]

Of course it's Johnny's reaction that makes it priceless.

[@superpsion]

Gosh I;ve searched for this video for more than 15 years...AWESOME ...

[@christopherrobin1]

It’s mid-2022 and I still watch this video regularly and laugh every time.

[@DravenGal]

There will never be another talk show host as iconic and fantastic as Johnny Carson! Fight me!😅

[@janetdecesare2925]

Still in 2023 can’t get enough of Johnny Carson lol😂😂😂😂

[@chrislargent1725]

[@jamescady723]

Carson was brilliant. Still funny after 50+ years.

[@rafaelsolorzano700]

THis is a masterpiece,specially the wolf spectacle.

[@thomasfulmer9638]

[@rafaelsolorzano700]

JOhnny is so hilarious....no one can match his talent,no one...

[@rafaelsolorzano700]

THis one of the gems of TV

[@netsurferx1]

JC: "How does the wolf go?" Bird: *Wolf whistles* JC: :-|

[@marikamarseli8504]

I love this bird!

[@robertsantangelo8018]

Johnny's reactions are priceless

[@dudetocartman]

Johnny Carson is so hilarious. I remember seeing this when I was in High School. I was like 15-16. I even bought the Johnny Carson Collection on VHS just a few years ago. This man is funnier than Letterman and Fallon. Letterman was close.

[@Calliope0954]

Move over parakeet, shoo, parrot, double shoo, Myna bird - Here comes Freud!! I laughed till I had an accident!

[@wayneg.8232]

This is a classic. Especially the ending. Hilarious.

[@scotnick59]

"How does the wolf go?" = hilarious

[@SpencerMagnusson]

"Call the kitty!"

[@trock6577]

Those were the days. Must watch TV every night. You never knew when something magical would happen.

[@leee.5841]

LMAO every time I watch this.🤣

[@biff5856]

This fabulous bird loves to ham it up.

[@lorenzop5904]

The birds fast moving beak is also funny

[@kathrynmolesa1641]

Johnny got owned by a bird.

[@lindawhitehouse5316]

I think he is great with the birds so funny

[@mikekemble958]

brilliant

[@parakeet8157]

Wolf whistle😂😊

[@theundercoveratheist]

I was in my senior year of college and I saw this live.

[@dudetocartman]

You are lucky.

[@jeffreymartino531]

Call the kitty here kitty kitty lmao

[@brenredhead3482]

Johnny Carson is the best with animals. His reactions to smart animals.

[@WhiteWolfBlackStar]

You saw it here first! A BIRD calling a CAT! 😎

[@poppiarlin5612]

This was great!!!!

[@mrzack388]

Johnny's Reactions Were Priceless.

[@fab42355]

One of the best 👌guest ever 😉

[@ruscopcoltrain]

This is so perfect, it’s almost like it’s scripted.

[@CassieLopez]

That lady looks like such a dear, sweet lady, but she set Johnny up so good! His reaction was so perfect!

[@46singledad46]

How does the wolf go LMAO

[@happyme6153]

Late night has not been the same since the great master Johnny Carson.

[@janetdecesare2925]

Every day I watch this just to laugh

[@idlertire]

This is probably the only clip that exist from this specific show because just about every show before May 1 1972 had been erased except for just a few shows.the only reason this clip exist is because I'm guessing it was on a anniversary show later in 1972.

[@liduck52]

Judging by the background behind his desk, this is from early 1972 when the show was still in NY. They left for Burbank in May 1972.

[@celiavw]

I just LUV Freud ...... the Mynah!

[@jl3322]

Boy could we use Carson today (March 2022)

[@parrotpilot]

Not a Starling, but the Myna or Mynah is a bird of the starling family (Sturnidae) according to wikipedia. Still, great video, and smart bird!

[@lunastarr1925]

Mynahs r very smart

[@douro20]

It's a mynah bird.

[@djphillyb]

Can you guys put up the full segment of this wonderful bit?

[@SpencerMagnusson]

djphillyb They probably got this clip from the "Best of Johnny Carson" DVDs, and this is the whole clip on the DVD...you would have to find the original episode for the rest of it

[@grillage2]

Its a Mynah Bird. not a Startling.

[@kevingrabowski4971]

Fail... It's a starling.. Even a blind man can see it.

[@sasnycon]

:D crasy bird

[@kateromney4418]

Shades of The Mask!! Lolol

[@Mike--Oxmall]

thought I saw George W bush in the thumbnail

[@colleenparsons51]

That's no Starling that is a minor bird,

[@bagobeans]

Thats a mynah bird.

[@vangillis]

Johnny carson classic

[@ilam.morrowlcsw7670]

It’s not a starling-it’s a Mynah Bird!

[@soulaesthete8563]

Starlings are not talkers. This is a Mynah or Myna bird.

[@dr.shuppet5452]

Mynahs are related to starlings, both can talk.

[@KelikakuCoutin]

Thanks for pointing that out. It's a Mynah bird, and the Hill Mynahs are known to be the best talkers of any bird species. In any case, Mynahs are a branch of the Starling family. But it's definitely a Hill Mynah: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_hill_myna בס'ד

[@markthomas3730]

Greater Indian Hill Mynah

[@ladylibrum7145]

Mynah bird, not starling.

[@falconward6757]

This is NOT a starling; it's a mynah bird.

[@shahndeloaksong7618]

Umm that is not a starling...that's a mynah bird.

[@antoineabernathy1995]

Looks like a mynah

[@MrYashka12]

It's not a Starling it's an African Minah bird

[@budgienation]

That is NOT a Starling, it's a Mynah. They are from India, originally, and the Starling is originally from Europe and was brought over here by this crazy Englishman who wanted to import to America every bird mentioned in Shakespeare. Within 50 years they were coast to coast and they are NOT the cause if the decline in Eastern Bluebird populations. This is the result of loss of habitat. The Eastern Bluebird lives in a setting typical of the edge of a wood, these have been lost due to building

[@another90daystochangethis34]

That is a starling. _Sturnus vulgaris_ Mynahs are just another subclade of starlings though.

[@canyoubelievethis220]

Loved this segment, but that woman got on my nerves. She acted like she had bird flu or something. She kept repeating herself over and over!

[@richgee7068]

The panoramic beat quantitatively pat because season postprandially rule concerning a spiffy author. adamant, thoughtless freighter

[@felinefaye8550]

Best show ever on TV. I'm glad I got to live with Johnny Carson on my TV. No one will ever come close to him!
