[@highwheelingdragon7136]

How pertinent so many decades later. Thanks for making this available to young people!

[@michaelsix9684]

miss Gore and Johnny a lot, when late night TV was great

[@TheChianello]

Gore at his best!

[@carlsaveus1735]

Gore Vidal .. the prophet... The heart of the subject should be made onto a TikTok video and shared everywhere.

[@colleenboyd8865]

Johnny Carson had a great interest in intellectuals like Gore Vidal and in addition to having them on his show would always have dinner together when they were in town....

[@NoOne-kr4jc]

Yeah, that certainly sounds like him. He loved Carl Sagan I think too. He admired men of such great ability and mind to push humanity forward.

[@joanpascal7745]

Have always liked him . Alot! He speaks English and does a great job!

[@elaineisabelle427]

I love Gore, what an intellectual.

[@shaheer151]

Vidal was on this Carson show a few times during the Reagan years...and they were all vintage Vidal. Wish someone would put all of them on.

[@WintersWar]

Agree. Same with Hoffa and WFB jr, they were on numerous times and yet scarce to find.

[@ukrandr]

It's really too bad the book wasn't discussed more. Along with Lincoln, Creation is Gore's masterpiece among his novels.

[@TheThearchangel90650]

Imagine that on TV tonight. Where is the progress?

[@dengelke]

Does anyone know how in tune Gore was with then-public opinion? The insights seem ahead of their time.

[@joanpascal7745]

Yes way way ahead of .He was great debate! He spoke to my being .

[@joanpascal7745]

He was sooo honest! Most the folks, oh my universe! Leave it to beaver, my three sons, there u got it?

[@ukrandr]

Gore was seen by many as a modern - day Cassandra, far more so with the passage of time.

Jesus the book burners are stronger than ever.
