Her laughter is contagious, great personality..

I'm guessing that someone left a wine box in the dressing room for her.

[@fromthepeanutgallery1084]

Her laugh is so genuine it's infectious.

[@308W82]

This is brilliant! Both "real life" and entertainment together, Johnny showing off his "straight man" comedic prowess with his genuinely funny reaction shots-- this clip is one for the Comedic Ages!!!

[@oneeyedman99]

He was a great comedian, but an even better straight man. Cannon was one of probably thousands of people who was funnier when being interviewed by Johnny than at any other time in her life.

[@BroadswordNYC]

Good job by the director, for zooming in on Johnny's facial expressions.

[@robertmarszalek1978]

You really have to hand it to Johnny, he had class and no matter what was always courteous and ready to be humiliated even if he was the brunt of the joke. There will never be another Carson RIP Johnny and Ed

[@melinda5777]

I saw Dyan on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson live and it was the 1st time Dr. Ruth W. was on the show May/June 1982....long time ago! It was HILARIOUS!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

She played in one of the pink Panther movies. You should see the outtakes. Very funny. She couldn’t keep a straight face with sellers. Gorgeous woman

[@ludiqtitan]

She also played Whipper in Ally McBeal.

Why hasn't this gone viral or have 1 million views?! This could cure depression! I laugh my ass off every time she does. It's contagious.

4:00 broadsword just said it. Good job on the slow take of that part by the Director 📺. All the people in this shot, especially Johnny, must have watched Jack Benny do this two or three times a tv show …often at the commercial break. 🥲♥️Dyan was so relaxed and totally beautiful. And she is still working. Directing, of all things. Up for an award. 💙Go girl

[@richardtaylor8595]

I fell in love with Dyan the first time I saw here on film . What a wonderful sweet lady.

[@ugotmossed84]

Saw this on an old Tonight Show “best of” VHS many years ago. It was impossible to find online anywhere until this.

[@stoytrivia1126]

She was so good in Heaven Can Wait, I'll always love her for that.

[@elizabethmcleod246]

I agree. I love that movie. ❤

[@watchman1178]

That's one of my favorite movies of all time.

[@johndemola1608]

Yes. Have you seen the original? Here Comes Mr. Jordan. They are all great adaptations but I like it best over the Beatty and Chris Rock versions.

[@Toshie69]

Absolute gold. Two real pro's, pure entertainment. Will we ever see the like again?

[@man-bagdammit2297]

Being incredibly intelligent, Johnny was rarely at a loss for words. On the rare occasions it happened his reactions were so funny. He obviously had strong feelings for Dyan.

[@victorbonilla4634]

He obviously liked her a lot. He may have been hurt by her laughter. Still, with the cameras rolling, the showman that he also was, he turned this into a classic funny moment of the Tonight Show.

[@hagiosp]

Johnny was the best!!

[@RisingTidesAC]

They had a relationship at one time.

[@kevinhanney1979]

Johnny maybe was successful but not a Cary Grant, not close, that’s who she married after Grant chasing her . Most men I think realize a smart, beautiful woman and react as Johnny did, she also mentioned she didn’t date/ live with anyone for quite a while. Wonder why? I guess she wasn’t a club 54 type!?

[@im1who84u]

@@victorbonilla4634 I noticed we don't see her on The Tonight Show anymore after this interview.

[@fromthepeanutgallery1084]

What a great country this was back then. 13 TV channels; bunny ears, telephones, answering machines, phone booths, newspapers, photo booths, Pinto's and Johnny. Simple.

[@krmccarrell]

And don't get me started on the food back then; when strawberries tasted like strawberries and tomatoes tasted like tomatoes, and there was one kind of milk to buy and you weren't getting cancer from the things you were eating, right?

[@leviashanken7281]

But Johnny was not so simple, it seems. Now I can see a sadness in between his deadpan looks.

[@jameswilliams663]

Her laugh, on anyone else would be obnoxious, on her, is ever so charming...

[@alanhigh8125]

Imagine listening to that piercing cackling for several years. It would become very grating. Then again, she was married to Cary Grant for only three years, and husband number two for less than six.

[@spuwho]

@@alanhigh8125 Read her book "Dear Carey" and you will see it wasn't the laughing that broke that marriage up, it was Grant's inability to adjust himself. Michal Douglas is lasting with Catherine Zeta-Jones because he is willing to adjust his ways in his senior years on behalf of the relationship, Carey wanted no part of that and punished her. Grant and Cannon should have never gotten married. She married for an iconic dream, he married for some older year action. It was Sinatra and Farrow all over again.

Oh man, this is the clip I been waiting for. I saw it years ago and then it disappeared. Glad that it's back.

[@ricthornton2958]

This is freaking hilarious! His deadpan stares remind me of Oliver Hardy's looks at the camera.

[@ozneroll2132]

Johnny based his deadpan stares off his old friend Jack Benny.

I've met Dyan a couple difft times at kick back parties and she is so nice. Fun, kind and even brings homemade cookies to parties. You gotta love her laugh here.

[@kennethrussell1158]

She always seemed like she was down to earth. She doesn't seem to take all the celebrity/show business thing or herself so serious.

[@chilitoday]

One of Carson’s best moments as a beautiful woman laughs at their dating history and then ridicules his multiple divorces. He even turns the commercial into a laugh.
