I enjoy the slower pace of conversation. So natural and calming.

[@gracioussunchild9877]

Is it really that slow? Loll there simply talking at a normal human pace

[@ladalekoehler2176]

She was a great lady. I was a big fan of hers. Loved his show. She was a great mom. It’s too bad she had only one child but she found many in her animals.

[@buck546]

Johnny's suit is pure seventies, bold and out there, wide collared shirt and huge wide tie. What great times those days were. I was twenty years old when this was aired and I still miss those wonderful years. I always loved Johnny's shows he was the best.

[@williamclarke2020]

His suit looks like a couch my grandmother use to have.

[@buck546]

@@williamclarke2020 She had a grovie couch!

[@johnsewell6593]

Its just a personal opinion but Ol' Doris sure seems like shez got a chip on her shoulder. She was incredibly vain -- infamously Vain...to the point she insisted on having " soft focus " used in her movies beginning around the sixties ( check out some of her 1960s flicks). But I've GOT to say she handled the air - head Carol Wayne with the utmost class.....!

[@patriciaoreilly8907]

Doris looking fabulous & love the outfit colour & design. Doris a beautiful lady actress & singer 😊

Unreal. I would never had known. She’s gorgeous.

She is stunning. I had no idea. 52?! Stunning. ❤

[@mreppen1]

She was pretty hot, and better a huge Laker fan.

[@morthedgebuckle227]

A honey bear.

[@johnmaer]

She was stunning and she knew she had quite the set and felt it was worth showing/flaunting them in this national TV appearance. It said a lot about who she really was as a private person rather than her stage persona which was a girl-next-door type. Lore has it that she loved her trysts and between the sheets play, and obviously she had a bountiful bosom to charm a man off his feet. I wonder what size she was back then, and I bet my last Andrew Jackson that her pair were natural, not enhanced.

[@jenwick8708]

I have always loved Doris Day. My favorite actress EVER!

From this interview, you'd assume that it was chilly in the studio, but if you ever watched the entire episode, Rodney Dangerfield comes out later and he's pouring out sweat, so I don't know what to think.

[@bullthrush]

Rodney famously did a lot of coke before going on stage so he'd sweat no matter how cold it was.

[@charliejamz.]

Then the audience wakes up after her boring turn on stage. Correcting everything Johnny says, and trying to make him sound like he’s staring at her tits, when the guy is looking past her at his producer. You’re not the center of the world, Doris.

​@@charliejamz.​ Ah come on... you don't think Johnny took AT LEAST one peek at those "peaks"? And he booked a second "delight", Carol Wayne. He got his money's worth that night, Johnny had four reasons to stare!!

She lived to be 95 years old, she's right about doing what you want to do in life. Perhaps some cautions should be adhered to when serious or severe but in the event of minor things, she had a good point.

97

[@ExposeEvil_FleefromIt77]

Dayum, she almost made it to a 100! Good genes bc her life wasn't easy but her attitude was always strong, she was always looking at the glass half full & she just wasn't the type to get stuck on those negative things, she didn't complain but march onward like a good soldier.

[@kevinkeswick1243]

The other guest on the couch was Carol Wayne who regularly appeared on the Teatime with Bert Fern segments. Wayne tragically died in Mexico 11 years after this appearance. In January 1985, Wayne vacationed at the Las Hadas Resort in Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico with companion Edward Durston, a car salesman. After an argument, Wayne reportedly took a walk on the beach. Three days later, a local fisherman found Wayne's body in the shallow bay. An autopsy performed in Mexico revealed no signs of alcohol or other drugs in her body. Her death was ruled "accidental."

Makes one wonder, she picked the clothes she wore, so if she wanted her breasts covered (as she did several times, covering them with said garment) why didn't she wear something with some buttons? I guess she was proud of her boobs... Probably all a bit of a tease on her part, directed towards Johnny... Now you see them, now you don't. Haha.

Thems SOME mountain tops. Two big ranges... side by side. (CW's two too!! 2:31) Haha!! As a side, many people always think bits like this ("summit" line, and Doris's "stretch") are done unscripted, but I think they were more scripted, staged... not all of them, but enough of them.
