Johnny Carson and the Bush Dog

[@michaelabalos595]

There will never be another Johnny Carson. The man had grace, wit, humor and a little innocence all wrapped up in one.

[@michaelmohrle1773]

He was like America's grandfather.

[@doublem1975x]

He was horrible according to everyone who dealt with him including his family.

[@InvadeNormandy]

@@doublem1975x Yes yes we all know everyone is awful and nobody gets to have any accolades or positive history about them anymore.

[@doublem1975x]

@@InvadeNormandy He earned his accomplishments but also his reputation. This is a lesson to be kind to those around you.

[@joeboland1674]

Joan Embree always personified class in her appearances... And true compassion for the friends she brought! Beautiful lady with a kind, gentle soul..

[@ConvairDart106]

My dream girl forever!

[@BelleTolles]

She was a hero of mine as a kid

[@michaelmohrle1773]

Beautiful woman

[@silverbells4732]

the bushdog is sooo adorable...what a baby!!!!

[@mgwilliams1000]

Notice how Joan would just place the animal on Johnny's desk or lap and he would just wing it from there? People don't know he was a big animal lover and donated a lot to the San Diego Zoo for their animal rescue programs and Joan's Project Animals.

[@piroskaracz3621]

We adored his shows even more with the zoo animals visited

[@Jovius2k]

Johnny's one of the few people who can consistently make me laugh so hard I almost pass out. God, I miss entertainment like this. Johnny, Ed, Doc... you all are missed right now.

[@nazmoking3171]

Doc’s still around

[@Jovius2k]

@@nazmoking3171 I know he's still with us, thank God. I just miss that whole lineup.

[@jerrybrownell3633]

Joan Embry and her animals were always my favorite part of the show.

[@thespacecowboy71]

The little noises and the ears are too cute 😭

[@chrisarseneault5617]

NO ONE was better than Johnny. Period.

[@carolinepaquier8156]

Got that right. Late night has never been worth a hoot since he retired. One of the greats.

[@16rumpole]

man, Joan was hot.

[@juliescheidler7763]

Absolutely, he was the best!

[@themishmish101]

Johnny Carson was a legend he filled every minute of his show with real entertainment and laughter

[@michaelmohrle1773]

Yes he did

[@jimmyblues59m76]

Johnny's expressions are always priceless! lol

[@WB312]

There was no one like Carson. He made you feel like you were visiting at home in his living room. A once in a lifetime individual who will never be matched.

[@ronaldmcreynolds7345]

Exactly. It was like having the family around the couch catching up on each other.

[@jeffreyb8770]

He gave show business a good name.

[@cheyenneyoung582]

She’s just so adorable!! ❤️

[@TheTeacher1020]

Miss Embrey was always a delight! A lovely and entertaining person.

[@BelleTolles]

What a classic! 😂. When he covered her up for modesty 😂. I remember as a kid always liking this lady. She was my hero. And she was always so calm and kind

[@doncallangher6177]

For an animal to readily get so cozy in your lap says much about the person you are.

[@MystiqueHorizon]

That baby was so comfy it was falling asleep 😍😍😍😍😍

[@livingthroughtheblue]

I remember the night this originally aired. Then for some reason, all these years later, I thought about it and wondered, could this clip be on KZbin? Sure enough it was! What a funny bit !!

[@icut1]

Me too! I love this

[@Floppyearsmomma]

Boy I miss Johnny. This is entertainment! The napkin! Hilarious!

[@bakerXderek]

Dam Johnny sounded legit with the singing !!!

[@waifu7763]

Damn no one spotted your butt here in 2 years

[@geliep]

He did sing "birth of the blues" with the Rat Pack on stage when he hosted one of Sinatra's Spectacular.. :)

[@williammccall9563]

And did a damn good job, too!

[@wendymyers3182]

bakerXderek Johnny was ultra talented!! Could dance sing play drums guitar. Check out the Jack Benny Show episode where he had Carson on!! Hysterical!! You'll get to see just how talented he truly was. Oh yeh,, he also dabbled in slight of hand card tricks.

[@sschoppert]

One of my childhood memories...I searched for this specific clip 😅

[@raybon7939]

During the 70s and 80s just like today the world was in never ending turmoil. Untill 11:29. At 11:30 p.m. the problems stopped cold right there no matter how bad. Johnny put the nation to sleep every night. You fell asleep watching his show.

[@gypsymom0819]

After Johnny passed away Rich Little talked about all the celebrities being out in Hollywood but at 11:00pm they would all disperse and go home to watch Carson. God I miss those days.

[@tomitstube]

johnny (with joan of course) did a great job raising animal awareness with these segments.

[@kawasakiwhiptwo5821]

Ya gotta admit, Johnny was quick as hell with that witt.

[@VenusianTaureau]

"She likes you to hold her on her back and rub her belly." "So do I"...oh Johnny! LOL

[@dbcopper10]

How many Kimmel or Colbert clips will we still be watching 40 years from now? Methinks few, if any.

[@kennethsouthard6042]

I tried watching Jimmy Fallon's Show the other night. It was painful!

[@jeromestracks108]

Very few watching now

[@drummer1965usa]

01:40 My favorite part of this whole clip. Johnny improvs a song on the spot! :)

[@brucer12]

I sure miss Johnny----the best interview guy of man,woman & beast.

[@missally3333]

Animals loved him, and they have an excellent character radar

[@anyasilka2325]

Johnny Carson is THE BEST OF THE BEST EVER...OF ALL TIMES!!!!

[@yvonnemurray5537]

Totally a classic…gotta be only one with an animal that fell sleep in his arms. Love it❤️

[@maryannsaia9094]

The Bush dog is very cute and has a sweet face. Johnny Carson was good with animals.

[@kateromney4418]

Her lil face says it all. Bliss

[@piroskaracz3621]

Loved his show and especially the zoo visits. He was great with animals. Miss him....and Ed McMahon

[@Loveoldies50]

I miss these! So happy to be able to see them, again, on KZbin. Thank you for posting!

[@aqhasassy]

Back when TV was true entertainment.

[@pattic8473]

I'll always miss Johnny. He was the best. Especially with animal guests.

[@TA-pp9jk]

Classic Carson. Never be another like him.

[@wendystewart397]

Hysterical I loved his shows when there were animals on the look on his face is priceless

[@hungfao]

The timing and chemistry.

[@salinagrrrl69]

I actually saw this show. Remember it to this day. N when I'm driving I now n then for a smile sing it.

[@russellngwinn6800]

Johnny Carson was the coolest guy who ever lived

[@shellw1276]

LOL - RIP the incomparable Johnny! Such a quick whit! So funny!

[@lorenvburrell]

He was a genius.

[@DougCeleste]

There will NEVER be another Johnny Carson but only attempts by copycats who will continue to fall way short of the brilliancy of this comedic and talented man. RIP Johnny and thanks for the memories!

[@bertcox1]

Johnny is hilarious!

[@michaelmohrle1773]

So funny the bush dog just chills in his lap !!!

[@davecollard6127]

The zoo in Atlanta had 1 or 2 of these a couple of years ago.

[@janabell3810]

There will never be another Johnny.

[@5speedMax]

I remember watching this the first night that Carson brought Joan Embrey and the bush dog on the shows broadcast. It was pretty funny and certainly cute. I remember laughing very hard at the bush dog song. I laughed very, very hard watching Carson sing the bush dog song. I must've high to find it as funny as I did. After all it was 1975.

[@DominicoCaro]

Johnny Carson had no equal . He was masterful.

[@joanketelby752]

He's pretty good with animals.

[@tlcp53b49]

A Johnny Carson Classic

I had a crush on her when I was a kid. Good video. Thanks

[@dynodish]

Joan was a hottie and one of Johnny favs.

[@shanke300]

Both are adorable. Funny funny funny. King Carson.

[@srkfan4ever137]

I had thought I had heard of all the animals species there is in the world. A bush dog is one animal I had never heard of before. But it is such a really cute animal. That I wish I could have one as a pet. Even though they are wild animals. Johnny looks so cute holding that bush dog.

[@SpectrumSurvivalist]

+Jennifer Cushman There is so many species of animals in the World, nobody knows all of them.

[@maryannmcrae6736]

That was just BREATHTAKING

[@kerryboyd443]

my fav johnny w animals shows was the one he bent down to a pen w 2 young cheetahs in it one snarled and lunged at him he ran over to Ed and jumped in his arms! lol

[@mariebdo2703]

When he starts singing you can tell Johnny grew up in Nebraska, haha ! Country, yeah !

Such an adorable darling bush dog and d cuteee sounds

[@cecilyrodriguez6698]

He was an awesome 👏 man 👨

[@wotdoesthisbuttondo]

Johnnys "what the hell is that thing?" approach always cracks me up.

[@nancyking]

I have this on Carson's Comedy Classics that a collector put together for me, but it's a bit longer. At one point, Johnny stops rubbing her belly, and she squeaks as if to say, "Did I say you could stop?" So funny and cute! When I saw that, I thought, "I want one!", like probably a few other people. Sometimes when the animal experts go on the show, they warn people that they are still wild animals, no matter how cute they are. They even warn people about having pet skunks! Some people have pet hyenas.

[@dorothycoker8830]

She is just a widdle baby ❤️❤️

[@wideeyewonder]

Johnny was the king of late night!!!

[@dodge96neon]

after this I wouldn't mind having one as a pet

[@MystiqueHorizon]

Painindeass1million Wolverines AREN'T only in Canada you know,, there are lots of 'em in Alaska.

[@doobiesmoke15]

and in Northern Europe too

[@Angelsofia]

"Is he dead?" LMAO! Oh, Johnny...

[@managerrobak2814]

Such modesty. Johnny needed a rubber band, like the scene with Steve Martin putting one on Betsy's ankles in his classic Bowfinger.

[@JPMJPM]

Dante Perry I LOVE Bowfinger! Genius movie!

[@RJ-qh1iw]

He also wanted it that they do not tell him ahead of time what animal they’re bringing out. He wanted the surprise to be natural so the audience would appreciate it as well. That’s one of the reasons he was the best.

[@happyinparis]

When late night television was actually funny. I sure do miss Johnny Carson and Jay Leno.

[@nellneuenkirk8903]

Awwww! So cute!😁

[@DENAANN1000]

Miss u so much Johnny!

[@rosepetals1997]

That's so cute! I want to have a bush dog as a pet do badly! :)
