Hello. how are you. your post can make someone forget the bad part of his day. I was amazed and couldn't proceed further after going through your time-line. I wish we could be friends.

But - what was he actually saying happened in the teacup???

[@debbieklose8776]

@@ddruxman3579I couldn’t make out what Emanuel was saying .. something like Makaka … maybe one of the tea cups that had a monkey on it. I think the ride at Disney Land with tea cups have specific animal themes , like monkeys , gorillas , lions etc and maybe he was in. Monkey one . I’m not sure about that part. But Johnny Carson thought he was saying caca (poop) The laughter from the kid was hilarious. Nothing this kid isn’t (wasn’t ) aware of. And Johnnys laugh as a result of Emanuel’s laughter was so perfect . He (Carson) knew how to roll with the talks . I loved it 🥰 ❤😂

This clip shows why Johnny Carson was and always will be the King of Late Night television. Whether his guest was 12 or 112, he could elicit a sense of comraderie and ease, as if he was just chatting with a friend in their living room. No one comes even close to his skill and wit.
