(Late night) comedy just isn't the same anymore!

[@joebiggs4387]

You nailed that one! And it never will be.

[@jillkjv3816]

No kidding.

[@samanthab1923]

Right? Such a shame. Let’s guests talk & they look happy to be there. ⭐️

[@OWR0406]

George Segal was one of the greatest actors at the end of the 60’s and beginning of the 70’s…

[@hunter999888]

It’s amazing how these old Tonight Shows still you can watch, it’s weird, you don’t really have to know the people. The show I think has what the new comedy shows don’t, comfort.

[@ardeladimwit]

and class

[@KillyJoe]

Also cigarettes

[@WarholSuperstar]

SO GREAT. Newhart takes it to a whole other level. Five star segment. (And oh yeah, the BAND.... man oh man...)

[@JayRock21122]

Loved him on Just Shoot Me! R.I.P. to this Legend.

[@markdanielczyk944]

The band was rocking, this is classic!

[@roncaruso931]

The Tonight show band was fantastic. Sad to realize the only people alive in this clip is Bob Newhart. Doc Severensen is also alive.😊

[@petesmitt]

Doc is looking really well at 96 but Bob, although 2 years younger, is looking very frail.

[@dcnative1618]

His wife of 60 years died a few months ago.

[@roncaruso931]

@@dcnative1618 Did not know that.

Late night comedy its not the same any more. And that's for sure!!!!!! 😢

[@tomcat3360]

Those leisure suits! Lol

[@modernretroradio993]

Technically, none of those are leisure suits.

[@jillkjv3816]

I play the uke. This was fun to watch. 😊

[@karenleemallonee684]

George and his banjo...❤️ 👍👍

[@josephclark4186]

Segal had a looong career before he played "Pops". Great to see him here!

[@thegameshowguy1]

I remember him best as Jack Gallo from “Just Shoot Me”.

[@jillkjv3816]

​@@thegameshowguy1I remember him best in The Owl And The Pussycat with Barbra. 😊

[@funkster007]

Entertaining segment if not a bit awkward. Johnny actually seemed pissed right off the bat about the record-less album. lol Segal was quite the character though.

[@joemazza1652]

George was acting very strange

[@ardeladimwit]

that was crazy. Carson is such a class act.

[@thegameshowguy1]

Funny that George Segal appeared, and David Spade later appeared on “The Tonight Show” in the mid-1980s, and the two later connected on NBC’s “Just Shoot Me”. How crazy life is.

[@petesmitt]

George died from bypass surgery complications.. a surgery that was meant to prolong his life; ironic.

[@eezyclsmooth9035]

"Bell Bottom" pants probably stylish at the time. Now look Silly. Bob Newhart just lit a cigarette?!

[@JazTrance]

Not only don't they look "silly", but many people still wear them.

[@Burchrg24]

Not sure if they have tension or they're acting it up.

[@asintonic]

i honestly believe Johnny was pissed off at him.

[@chesterproudfoot594]

Tommy was no slouch! Almost 50 years old and it's still the best television around. Long live Johnny Carson and the Tonight Show Orchestra! [horrible set, though!]

[@MegaSpideyman]

Who's Tommy?

[@chesterproudfoot594]

@@MegaSpideyman Tommy Newsome, the bandleader #2 when Doc wasn't there.

[@jimsmith540]

The Tonight Show band was sensational.

[@DownOut-w6c]

Love Johnny. Grew up with him. Just found this and subscribed. Thank you for keeping him alive!

[@modernretroradio993]

Bob Newhart smoked????

[@pjhimself252]

How did these folks build careers on this type of empty suit pointless presentations ?

[@jeffmotsinger8203]

George Segal is a great actor but this was weird, shades of Crispin Glover.

[@ericlowans1137]

This is one of the funniest Carson shows I've ever seen! Great improv by Newhart, Segal and Carson...EXCELLENT!

[@Rnyargd]

George was looooooooooooooooooooose

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

John William Carson (Corning, Iowa; 23 de octubre de 1925 - West Hollywood, California; 23 de enero de 2005) fue un presentador, comediante, escritor y productor de televisión estadounidense.

[@cpcattin]

Hollywood stars knew to bring their “A” game on Johnny’s show.

[@dank3151]

I never knew he was a comedian before he lost his hair and learned karate.

[@utoob23]

How high were some of these guys in the 70s?

[@mamamurray2]

That is one snazzy suit. 🙂💜

[@lubatiflides3374]

George Segal is in town!

[@joebiggs4387]

I remember in Johnny’s last year he started to become a little bit bitter. I still see the episodes because I record them when they’re on late at night. I think it was after his son died. But George Segal was on, and Johnny treated him like crap! He was insulting, and just really unpleasant toward him. Of course, George and Ed laughed, I suppose to keep the comedic tone. I figured he just didn’t like him. But whatever, I don’t know what the reason was. Maybe he was just in a bad mood. He did have a few of those type shows in the last seven or eight months of his Tonight Show career. One night he snapped at an audience member and called him an A-hole for saying “how cold was it…“, People had been doing that since the 60s. I can’t remember one show before that time where he was like that. I hate to say it, but I think maybe we were getting a glimpse into the “real” Johnny Carson? Although I did say he had just lost his son.

[@Mike7O7O]

Segal looked like he was loaded. Was that not the problem?

[@joebiggs4387]

@@Mike7O7O the show during the 91/92 season? He didn’t seem to be loaded. Of course I could be wrong. Right off the top Johnny called him Skippy, because of what he was wearing. Which was attire from some play he was pushing.

[@christosdelos3318]

Probably was a blood sacrifice.

[@93Jubilee]

LOVE Bob Newhart! (and the way he does his arms out when Segal makes such an elaborate entrance of himself -- what an ass!)

[@debbieprovencher6857]

I think, I believe....this is the funniest bit I've seen on here.

[@karenleemallonee684]

For me...one of... 😂

[@Alaska-Jack]

I never knew Bob Newhart smoked. I thought he were smarter than that.

NEVER be anyone as good as Johnny Carson....Watched him since "Who do you Trust"
