Johnny was the best. His first thought is about the disgusting act of killing an animal just to make an ornament for somebody's desk. Class act. He let the experts talk, and explain the animals, with the occasional quip to keep the mood light. He always did his best to interact with every creature, and it made for genuine good times. His respect for the animals of this world was something that always stuck me, and it is evident as you watch his face with those orangutans. Priceless.

I thought it was pretty obnoxious to be frank. He didn't even establish whether or not they were poached illegally or raised as livestock or collected deceased. He just went off on a little moral outrage rant.

​@@natedogg4116I Didn't Care Too Much for Letterman. When Letterman had Animal Expert Jack Hanna on His Show , Letterman Always asks Jack Hanna Dumb Ass Questions. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

After this day, I really needed to laugh with Johnny once again. It was a simpler time in my life, all of 21!!

[@DCL26]

Good Johnny. You expressed your disguist at using rare and unusual animals as mere ornaments. I think he had a true appreciation for animals.

[@VincentDeBellis]

I seriously can't like this enough times. You can see the love in Johnny for animals when he's holding that perfect little guy. So amazing. Brought a tear to my eye and a HUGE smile to my face, the whole time. ❤️🐒🐦

Johnny Carson and a show with visiting animals is always a winner.

[@GeometricMason]

Carson was always so great with the animals.

Joan Embrey is still going strong as an animal advocate and for all the speeches people make about saving wildlife, Joan exposing tens of millions of people to these rare, beautiful and touching creatures has done infinitely more good.

Melts my heart. Truly wonderful and his concern for their conservation

[@ArisSafari98]

[@isabella0987]

[@VAMPYBITES]

[@MsWatts219]

[@jenniferhare5812]

The marmoset !!! Dad used to yell at me to go to bed when I stayed up school nights to watch Johnny Carson!!

[@justkelly6992]

Johnny Carson was without a doubt the most entertaining late night host ever. Always the gentleman, never derogatory to his guests and nothing seemed to phase him. I spent my youth watching him late at night with the volume so low my parents did not know I stayed up to watch him.

[@charshroat5618]

Johnny was the King of talk show hosts, and his shows with the animals are the best television has ever seen on any subject, hands down.
