Johnny Carson - May 14,1992 - segment 6 - Teri Garr

[@Philmoscowitz]

Teri Garr is perfect in every way. I'm breathless.

[@alienhuman]

The love of my faux life.

[@jeffj2495]

Oh Teri Garr (1944 - 2024) we will miss you. Funny, vivacious, gorgeous, entertaining. The list goes on. You were wonderful. RIP dear Teri.

[@57highland]

Charming, sweet ....

[@EdWeibe]

nicely said. She was incredibly real.

[@sandman7ac]

An unbeatable beauty, and a personality that radiates a positive energy . Her wit and humor gives positive vibes. A one of a kind that can never be replaced. If there only more like Teri . I miss her.

[@stanmaster1205]

Always loved her sense of humour and overall positive vibes. I know she is having difficulties with her health now but I wish her well and thank her for her contribution to the Entertainment World.

Now that's a star😊.Couldn't take my eyes off of her.

[@p42uynot59]

Terri Garr is a classic movie star. The kind I always loved and this short interview just highlights how much fun she must’ve been to work with. She’s the best. Has Martin Short in stitches here and Michael Keaton laughing too. The audience laughing along.

Not a huge Carson guy but the three on the couch is like prematurely being in heaven

Book her for a guest appearance and the host and other gusts won't stand a chance.

[@bigcity2085]

She appears more comfortable here with Michael and Martin on the couch. Great stuff.

[@chuckschillingvideos]

She's much more than just a movie star - she's a movie star that can actually act.

@@bigcity2085 can't abide Martin Short (notice how he immediately chimes in on her spolights when she sits down, he springs right up, ready to take his share.

RIP Teri Garr! 🙏🏾 A wonderful and talented actress who will be missed and always remembered through her movies and television shows.

[@ericpaulsen3863]

Sad to see that she passed away today. She was 79 but had battled MS for so long. She's s great in this clip and Johnny clearly had a crush on her (as did Letterman). Heck, who didn't?

[@CraigEberhard]

It was always obvious when Carson had a crush on a guest. No doubt here. She was great and maybe a little under appreciated.

[@mjp96]

The most likeable actress in my lifetime, without even trying. Never seemed like she was acting (even though she could).

[@janineboitard6492]

So true! Johnny had class. Letterman, who's comedy I liked, was a real creep when it came to women guests! Yeeeeks!

[@janineboitard6492]

@@ericpaulsen3863 So true! Unlike today's actresses, Teri was genuine, sexy, hilariously witty, and she didn't have to even try! She's the kind of woman men looked to marry... ❤

Such a sad loss of a funny lady. RIP Teri. We love you.

[@Ma_Ba]

"I'm very proud to be modeling American underpants." The best laugh and thanks, I needed that! Looks may fade, but they can't take that away from you! Love her take on things. Vaudevillian and dancer roots contributed to her sensibility.

I so miss this wonderful show.. RIP Johhny..

[@tjmcguire9417]

I am a Canadian man. This young woman absolutely crushed Msrtin Short, Michael Keaton and John. Who can do that anymore? She can. We need more of these women. What a sweetheart --- wth brains beyond.

You’ve got Aubrey Plaza.

[@chuckschillingvideos]

She is just fantastic. She can hold her own with anyone.

she was brilliant. Used all of her facilities to her advantage.

[@Tim_Takacs]

I loved her smile, I loved her looks, I loved her personality, I loved her laugh - I LOVED HER

[@Carguy442]

I never saw this episode of Carson until tonight. Terri was just hilarious and so beautiful. When she spoke about falling down her stairs I wonder if this was the start of her MS. She was finally diagnosed with it in 1999. She will be greatly missed and may she rest in peace.

[@teedeeiss]

@Carguy442 - You read my mind w/ very sentence. 1) Never saw this till this sec. 2) Hilarious, beautiful & so quick-witted. 3) Minute she said she fell & that there was no reason for it, instantly I thought "vague few & far between symptoms were starting, jus wasn't diagnosed yet". 4) Such a great talent (impeccable comedic timing) that should've had way more roles than she was given. Her passing is such a terrible loss.

[@MarkSmith-hf5nh]

This was classic. Teri was a super guest. With all her movies, this was what she did best.

[@greganderson7971]

The late great Teri Garr, she was battling 3 men at the same time, still came up on top! now that's a woman with self-confidence.

[@chrishultgren777]

pretty typical of women in the 20th century. people grew up with brothers and sisters, they weren't intimidated by the opposite sex like the only-child generation we have nowadays

[@billmitchell3329]

She was a bright and witty lady with understated beauty. Every man’s dream for sure. Always loved her!

[@ParkerTaylor515]

Teri was hiding her multiple sclerosis. She didn't disclose it ten years later. Her walk is unsteady and her right hand is often in a clench on her lap. She could have fallen due to being unsteady. She's always been a joy to watch.

[@93Jubilee]

so sad.

[@Beautifulmusiclistnr]

This episode, like all of Johnny's episodes, shows how good Johnny really was at this. He knew it was important to let his guests talk, and it would be funny!

I loved Teri Garr. A friend told me yesterday that she passed, and I was very sorry to hear that, and we talked about the Star Trek episode she was in, and I mentioned that she was fantastic in the movie "Sting 2", and he said that he didn't know that there was a "Sting 2", but Teri was beautiful, classy and talented!

Extremely beautiful, charming, smart woman at age 47. I would watch this clip again and again. She appears taller than Martin Short, and not shorter than Michael Keaton. Maybe only an illusion from the low sofa vs. her higher chair. Online she's listed at 5'7", same as Martin. Perhaps tall actresses understate their height while men do the opposite? It doesn't really matter, Ms. Garr is gorgeous and a treat for the eyes.

[@lewiscarey6984]

[@popfiction5687]

I have a theory. I think Teri made up the story about falling down a flight of stairs to cover up her MS symptoms. She was working with MS for many years before she went public with it.

[@mikestevenson576]

No doubt about it.

[@Opheggie54]

Or she wasn't aware of it at the time

[@cjrrun]

@@Opheggie54 she was aware when she made Tootsie

[@gwenniegirl50]

@@cjrrun Teri started noticing problems such as, tripping, not being able to go for run, etc in 1983. (Tootsie came out in 1982). MS symptoms tend to come and go. Terri did not get a diagnosis of MS until 1999. She came “public” around 2002.

Just watched all her Letterman appearances....literally watched her grow old thru them all.. Loved it, but it kinda bummed me out at the end. I wish women didn't have to grow old. It's not fair.

[@LindyK]

I doubt she fell. Or maybe. But I think the bandage was just a ploy to cover her unstable walking. If you see her on Dave letterman at this same time she had clear walking issues. It’s sad that she felt the need to cover it up. But boy, was she ever funny. 😀

She has been limping since the 80's, it just became more visible by the early 90's.

@@LindyK she feared IF people in the industry knew, she wouldn't get work. I think she was wise. BUT, doesn't mean she really didn't fall, it happened with the MS. Just love her.

[@kingsman8475]

She was on Star Trek.

[@luminiferous1960]

She played Roberta Lincoln opposite Robert Lansing as Gary Seven in Star Trek the original series episode 26 of season 2, "Assignment: Earth" first broadcast on 29 March 1968. That episode was a backdoor pilot for a new show which did not get picked up by the studio. This is considered to be Teri Garr's first significant TV role, although she had previously been a background go-go dancer in uncredited roles in youth-oriented films and TV shows including Pajama Party (a beach party film), the T.A.M.I. Show, Shindig!, Shivaree, Hullabaloo, Movin' with Nancy, and six Elvis Presley features, including Presley's most profitable film, Viva Las Vegas. However, in 1966, she had an uncredited appearance in episode seven of the TV show Batman entitled "Instant Freeze." "Star Trek was the first job where I had a fairly big (for me) speaking part," she related in her memoir, "I played Roberta Lincoln, a dippy secretary in a pink and orange costume with a very short skirt. Had the spin-off succeeded, I would have continued on as an earthling agent, working to preserve humanity. In a very short skirt." This led to her being, in her words, "cast as birdbrained lasses," in episodes of other TV shows. 1968 was a big year in Teri Garr's early career. In addition to her role on Star Trek, she appeared in both The Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry R.F.D., and was in two episodes of It Takes a Thief. Her first speaking role in a motion picture was a brief appearance as a damsel in distress in The Monkees' film Head (1968), written by Jack Nicholson, whom she had met in an acting class. I saw that original Star Trek episode's first broadcast when I was 7 years old.
