Johnny Walks Out Like Burt Reynolds | Carson Tonight Show

[@fire1777]

Burt and Johnny were always able to laugh at themselves.

[@arcotSAM]

Have seen Mr.Burt in multiple episodes of tonight show and his laughter for Mr. Carsons jokes are truly genuine

[@thorsden5562]

I was 17 in 1978. I can state, without reservation, that Johnny Carson was the best Tonight Show host of all time. His demeanor, magnetism, comedic style and personality outshines any late show host today by leaps and bounds. I've tried watching Fallon, Kimmel, Colbert, Corden, etc...just no comparison to the late, great Carson.

[@MissBabalu102]

Me too. Class of '78? I remember Johnny in the 60s too. This also makes me miss George Carlin, I wonder what he would have to say about all the weird things going on nowadays? We need his balancing honesty again.

[@ORagnar]

I would say that the person considered to be the best of late is Conan, though he no longer does his show. Another great one was Craig Ferguson because his show was not cookie cutter. He went to the tune of his own drummer and was clever and funny. Fallon, Kimmel, Colbert and Corden are not really very good. Fallon does have musical talent. 2/28/24, 9:37 p.m.

[@brianwilson415]

I agree 100% Now it is a right wing political bash. Johhny was to classy to bash people's political views.

[@jillv4006]

And Johnny knew how to listen and let the guest shine.

[@joeneighbor]

Worse, all those you mention with the exception of maybe one, became political activist clowns.

[@lenhummel5766]

In 1978 Johnny was at the top of his game,...so was Burt.👍👍💎💎 Great episode.

[@frances3341]

😊

[@user-z6p4c]

yeah absolutely I’ve been married for 32years I was 22 and he was 26. he got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without him. He took a major hit the treatment was horrible for him. I could not do nothing to change any thing so I felt helpless I miss Him everyday.. seeing this makes me miss him even more I come to this page all the time just to have that nostalgia

[@tdunph4250]

RIP Mr Carson and one of the best blockbuster movie stars, Burt Reynolds!!

[@cbwavy]

They both were very cool walking out. When you got it, you got it.

[@brightstar928]

Burt was a great actor and a genuine person. I saw Hooper as a young teen and liked it so much I went back and saw it again. I miss celebrities like Burt and Johnny.

[@mudcat422]

Three legends that I hope are still together laughing and entertaining in Heaven

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

Good comment , I always assume now that all relevant people to me are up there waiting

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

Hooper was my favorite movie as a kid … I was 12 , perfect age

[@robbyosborne9708]

I'm sure they are.

[@pmafterdark]

Always loved Burt's laugh lol.

[@gabrielkasor]

i shed a tear-- too damn good

[@patrickcrowther9195]

That was worth more than all modern chat shows put together.

[@leilanirocks]

Burt Reynolds was actually born in Lansing, Michigan and spent his first years there before moving to Florida.

[@bryanpeed5334]

Burt's laugh kills me every time 🤣

[@cjrrun]

They loved to banter. If they were together at house parties, it would have been non stop laughing

[@angelthman1659]

Actually, Johnny was known to be very shy and quiet at parties.

[@gilson1982]

@@angelthman1659- Yeah. No cue cards, ghost writers, or directors around.

[@angelthman1659]

I wouldn't go that far. He was witty and hilarious in his own right as a performer, but not in real life. Many comedians are like that: Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, etc. @@gilson1982

I am too. Its a different kind of energy. ​@angelthman1659

[@jezdfax]

It’s awesome to sit back and watch these shows of Carson and see all the great stars in their prime. Reynolds was the consecutive box office draw during those years and Johnny was the all time greatest talk show host.

[@TommyDimopoulos]

Burt's laugh alone puts him in the Hall of Fame.

[@chiefscheider]

[@3.2Carrera]

Burt was from my area here in Palm Beach County and was well loved by many. Except my father in law who said Burt would get all the girls when he was young and came back to Riviera Beach. Around the time of this piece, Burt called the local sheriff's office where my Dad worked reporting dopers air dropping drugs on his ranch. My dad was an undercover agent and he and his partner struck up a friendship with Burt and provided security on several of his projects in the area. Burt liked cops since his Dad was a hard nosed southern cop himself. I was expecting Burt to be laid to rest in Florida, but when I was in LA last summer I paid my respects at his grave site and thanked him for a lifetime of great entertainment. RIP Burt Reynolds and the Mr Carson. Both the best at what they did.

[@AFMMD-q8]

Wonderful written sentiment, and yes I agree too, one would think he would have been laid to rest in Fla but it didn’t happen.

[@susanwest8239]

I sure love this show!!!❤❤❤RIP EVERYONE.

[@user-z6p4c]

I remember seeing this when it originally aired. I was laughing so hard I woke my wife up. she started laughing right along when she realized what she was seeing which Honestly has been a really good source of happiness for me ever since I lost my wife so many years ago i was married for 42years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could do nothing to change any thing so I felt helpless I miss her everyday. Mothers are the glue that holds everyone together.. it broke me to pieces so seeing comments like this makes me smile.

[@brianandlindafairchild1237]

Man, I miss this.

[@jeffreysmith3061]

Miss you Johnny.

[@robinblack3865]

Burt was sooo funny, the best guest on Carson ever ❤

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Foolish

[@clarkwayne708]

I can't believe two legends talked about academy awards for stunt performers. It is still a relative conversation 45 years later. Also last bit inspired Sally Field's whipped cream bit with Johnny.🤣

[@CrazyTaffchicks]

Burts laugh is awesome 😂

[@GTOberfest]

How much I would give to be able to hang out with those 2 in their prime.

[@RetiredFreeBird]

Burt Reynolds best cackle in show business

[@cynthiasmith4130]

4:44 This was the genesys of the game show Win Lose or Draw that Burt came up with his good friend Bert Convey which aired from 87-90

[@jockoadams3377]

I noticed that too. Good catch

[@stevabobic]

Dear and respected editors of this video channel, it would be great if you could upload Belinda Carlisle's a full recording of her guest appearance on the show from 1988. where she performed two songs in addition to the interview. One of them is I GET WEAK and the other, if I'm not mistaken, is HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH. I hope you will want to please all of us who love her. Thank you in advance on behalf of myself and Belinda Carlisle fans. 🍺🍺 from Steve.

Burt was the biggest star in the world at that time

[@FloridaMan-em3gk]

One of the greatest Seminoles and was always proud to represent FSU.

[@Norvo82]

"Of course he remembers it... He just finished it!" Oof. This sounds like one of the nights Carson had a hard time hiding his annoyance with Ed. There's palpable irritation in his voice.

[@PeterDix-q4d]

Yes, he had it. Amazing well prepared, concentrated, quick witted and likeable. Johnny had it all.

[@ts.elliot5870]

I always like Burt Reynolds. He died broke and alone which is really sad.

At 5 minutes you see the birth of the show Win Lose or Draw. For real.

[@KnickKnack07]

Burt KNEW he couldn't refuse that.

[@johndavis3921]

4:50 Burt's descibing "Win, Lose, or Draw" It was inspired by Fred Astaire, who was attending one of Burt's parties and was too "shy," as he told Burt, to play charades. 10 years later, he and Bert Convey would bring his new approach to charades to television. Oh, Pictionary was first published in 1985.

Yes! I caught that too

At the time there was no bigger star in Hollywood than Burt Reynolds. He stayed number 1 till 1982. From 1983 onwards it went downhill.

[@watchman1178]

Burt should never have done those "Cannonball Run" films. Those "films" were awful and really expedited his downfall.

[@Katzenhase]

@@watchman1178 Not only these films. Also films like "Smokey and the Bandit 2" Best Friends, The Man who loved Women or Paternity were all flops.

The charisma coming off Burt Reynolds in the 1970s is still palpable, just from an old tv show. As far as lookalikes, there was actually a Burt lookalike in porn. These guys partied so well and hard, I just wish I could've seen it.

Mr cool!!

[@christopherperson1939]

Burt was a really interesting figure. It seems within Hollywood people either really liked him, or couldn't stand his guts. I think he could definitely have an ego and a temper, but this clip really shows the lighthearted funny side to him.

[@SmilingOakTree-jy7du]

Burt Reynolds a good looking man and good football player. He was very masculine and funny. Liked him in Deliverance and his last movie, a funny one, The Last Movie Star.

[@thechanneloffun3760]

😭😭 Today we have Harry Potter 😭😭

[@susansquire7968]

I worked as a messenger years ago when Johnny Carson was going through a terrible divorce. His lawyers used our service. Twice I had to go to his home to pick up papers. He asked me if I wanted a drink both times. His wife wanted $20,000 a month for flowers!!! This was back in the early 80's I think. His home was to die for. Huge, three story glass living room overlooking the ocean. He was nice. I also saw Ed Mc Mahon stumble out of a restaurant, drunk on his ass at about noon one day!

[@XavierJustice-is2or]

Rickles would’ve had a field day with this information.

[@mbush545]

Johnny could’ve done a really awesome George W impression

[@crs290]

First mention of Win, Lose, or Draw. Burt made some coin off that game.

[@alorendorff3665]

It was a pretty cool entrance…

[@MyThirdPlaceLtd]

Pretty please can we have another monologue or episode with intro titles

[@sharonkellner7126]

Before Johnny, Steve Allen was the best late show host. It’s difficult to compare them as their styles were so different. Johnny was able to keep it fresh for 30 years so I guess he wins.

[@trishfischer4127]
