Guess what, it's almost 50 years later and I'm still watching Lucy and Carson on this crazy thing they would have never imagined back then, called the internet.

[@millennialauntiejess7177]

72 years later

Still the best talk show of ALL time.

Oh no comparison

Its Johnny.

These guys today are NOT funny!!! Carson all time best!!

@@thebluedragon1532 they're not funny and they got no class

[@elvismjbeatles143]

The difference with television today is the sterility. There was a laid back, off the cuff feeling of television then. Around the 1990s, it all became so very obviously commercial. Of course it always was, but today it’s pushed down everyone’s throats. Think of David Letterman, he was constantly at odds with NBC and his antics. Today, he’d be canned in a heartbeat, as he pretty much was, come 1992.

[@musicalgenius02]

3:00 and Johnny correctly predicted about watching her show 50 years later.

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

Amazing, right?

[@musicalgenius02]

@@S1L3NTG4M3R Ye ye that’s right

[@donc-m4900]

Was that Johnny or The Amazing Carnack?

[@illnsp08]

I'm still watching this til now.

[@CW-le8wc]

Here we are, 44 years later and yes, Johnny, we're still watching both of you. I'm sure I'll still be watching when we hit that 50 year mark. Miss you both.

[@amyyngsdal8982]

Yes!!!! ❤

[@susanford2388]

I introduced my kids a couple of years ago to Lucille Ball via KZbin. the one I chose was the chocolate factory, where she & Viv ended up eating most of the chocolates. Such a classic. May she RIP

[@texasgina]

Well Lucy’s show came on in the 50s so we are watching I Love Lucy almost 70 years later. Crazy

[@-C.S.R]

Almost 50 years and *I love Lucy* is still hilarious!

[@JustAFlyover]

She was such a treasure.

[@theUroshman]

👍 They both were.

[@L0r3n2]

I've seen a lot of guests challenge Johnny but Lucille is the only one who's able to keep him on his toes. Great gal and wonderful talent

[@uofa82]

She’s the only one with the clout to do it.

[@kylemc8851]

Huh? Johnny was never not on his toes!

[@suzum.9713]

My grandfather was deaf, but I was told he always laughed while watching Lucy shows. I think that is so neat!

[@thomasgreen1557]

That is really cool.

[@VaniFoxOfficial]

I would want Mr. Carson to read me a goodnight story. His voice is the most calming thing I've ever heard.

[@LisaSmith3663]

that's what people used to fall asleep to almost every night and here I am listening in 2021 when I think I watched this when it first aired in '77.

[@jlt2693]

My Dad had a voice that always put me to sleep. When I couldn't I would go on the couch and he would start talking and out like a light. I sure do miss him

[@jamespfitz]

True, but you know that's a smoker's voice, just like Lucy's.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

@@jamespfitz No, it's not rough. The drinking canceled out the smoking...Her voice was always a little rough, forcing it was part of the character she played.

[@sabrina-hu4ri]

A sexy man.

[@GrahameGould]

This is WAY funnier than anything on TV today!

[@phxmateo]

45 years later and we still love Lucy and Johnny. No politics, so trfreshing.

[@briannumme9337]

And here we are almost 50 years later...

[@ezrc9294]

43 years from the date of this show, I watch and absolutely appreciate these two individuals. Johnny was correct!

[@romansroad2007]

Ya and her it is about 50 years later and people still love her and laughing 😂 at her tv shows.

[@donna8389]

Years later, still watching Lucille Ball Dean Martin show and movies and the great Johnny Carson. Nobody comes even close to these stars years later. They were true talent

[@shadowgirl8038]

A wonderful entertainer. A wonderful person. A fantastic talent. No one like her. Ever

[@RockAndBlues7]

"Stop that Sammy Davis impression"🤣🤣🤣

it's 2021 and Im watching all the reruns on line...loving it :)

If there ever was a such thing as show biz royalty, you just saw it right there!

2023 and WE STILL LOVE LUCY

[@jonathanwilson2109]

Lucille Ball was a hilarious actress

[@toddmccreary4579]

Lucy really opened a can of worms!

[@eagleeye2300]

She will forever be one of a kind...Just a comedic miracle. I just bought a huge set of I Love Lucy shows from the 1950's. A box full of fun, helpful during these crap times. Jerry Lewis movies, too. He's fantastic. Zany and fantastic!

[@janiesippel225]

And 44 years later, since the 1977 air date of the Jonny Carson show, I love Lucy and the here’s Lucy shows are still very enjoyable, entertaining and hilarious! 🤣

[@andrahunsaker4781]

Johnny Carson is the best, and Ms Lucille Ball is as well ! Would have loved to have met this amazing lady ! 👍❤️

[@ylekiote99999]

The way she said "I'm serious" at 4:38 was so funny and off the cuff.

[@kikofromthesouth2863]

Carson knew we would be on the toilet watching him and Lucy 50 years in the future. Lol jk these two are true Legends. Respect. 💯

[@juniorjohnson9509]

Yes, Lucy and John. 45 years later, and you two are still cracking us up with things many of us have seen multiple times. Damned funny is damned funny no matter when it was made.

[@tylernewton7217]

50 years later to the year, we’re still here loving both of you! Sorry Lucy, but we still are!

[@krisgi00710]

Ha! Forty-six years have gone by and I still laugh at every I Love Lucy episode and I still came here to see Johnny.

[@NolocoLawrence]

I'm still watching Lucy and I'll still be watching years later. I still listen to My Favorite Husband as well

[@angiebone7999]

Closest to Lucy was the Roseanne show and the Nanny.

[@conqueringlion420]

And 44yrs later I still love Lucy what a wonderful woman

[@NurseKathyAndTheLaw]

My dads favorite show….How right he was too. Those were the good old days, and I had no idea how good ! I’m now 61 yrs old. Johnny, Lucy, and Ed are long gone. The Tonight Show in the era was something that it won’t ever possibly be again ! 🥂 to Johnny Carson & Ed McMahon !

[@QuantumEffectResidue]

Johnny was right God bless him; here we are 6 years away from the 50 years he said, and we are still watching I Love Lucy. And him as well!!

[@NAJErEa91]

television gold! Lucille is a Queen and Johnny is just too cool. his voice be having me feeling some type of way lol sheesh

[@rwilson7197]

So talented. Her physical comedy was delightful. Funny and adorable at the same time, she made you Love Lucy.💖💖💖

[@speculizer1971]

Love them both.... 2 of the greatest who had absolute respect for and adored each other. There at the end, she knew better than to leave that door open for him!! 🤣

[@kevykev38]

There's people we see through our lives. Johnny Carson was one of those people I never thought would pass on. He did. But he left behind these shows we all love

[@rogerbrinker420]

I don't know when this way originally broadcast but this is 2021 and we still enjoy it. The look on Johnny Carson face is still classic

[@SteelTreeGone]

I was watching Jonny’s show right to the end, he was great 👍 wonderful 😊

[@fani5000]

I watched a lot of Nick at Nite in the late 90s when I was a teenager. Fell in love with Lucy and do many other classic shows. Thanks for the laughs!

[@Ludematt21]

bet your ass were still here watching you both in 2022

[@alleycat1229]

8:50 Johnny's thinking yeah this is definitely hollywierd when Lucy gives me a handful of earth worm's.

[@riyadhrafique8377]

"You not that interested in me Johnny" "I adore you"- 😂🤣 ❤ love every moment of it!!!!

[@mareerosebakeshoppe9667]

Johnny was so right... still watching Johnny Carson and still watching I Love Lucy! I’ve been watching all my 37 years!

[@fbloggs]

Johnny was a class act. Look what we have today. Crass doesn't come close to describing it.

[@bathsheba56]

The earliest television, and I think Lucy still holds up pretty well, but then again, I'm biased. I watched "I Love Lucy" in the early seventies, when I was a teenager, stuff that was made 20 years earlier. I watch it today through those same eyes and still think it's great. It made me tear up a bit when Johnny asked if she'd be remembered in 50 years. I still remember you, Lucy! I refuse to use past tense: you are a brilliant comedic actor. No small thanks to the great Vivian Vance! Love you, Lucy! And you too, Johnny!

[@Camop-iz9kt]

Oct 2021 will be the 70th anniversary of the start of I LOVE LUCY!

[@ShawnKitchen]

Geez, we're creeping up on 50 years since this first aired, and I can still find I Love Lucy on TV. I bet Lucy would have a fit.

[@tonyabrego1]

Lucy reminds me of Shelley Winters on the show. Johnny was a one of a kind shinning Lone Star that I miss.

[@jimschiltz5343]

I was watching an episode of The Lucy Show the other day. I laughed my a$$ off. Good stuff!

[@smokerjim]

You want to check out some episodes of The Phil Silvers Show (Sgt. Bilko) that's another one that the humour doesn't age

[@TheNintendoWiiGamer]

Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett the two best female comedians ever...no one even comes close and yes Johnny we are still watching you all these years later

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Imogene Coca is in the same league. Others who are didn't have shows at the same time. Martha Raye is another huge comic talent.

[@Dreama40]

Lucy - Aaaaaa what? Johnny - Aaaaaa don't want em 🤣🤣

[@genniferkelly]

Love Johnny Carson.. Since I was born in Wusterhaven Berlin Germany. When my parents moved to United States when I was little, after my parents divorced. lived with my mother's sister and her husband. I started watching classic shows and movies, the movies and tv shows of today, are just to violent, not saying that all of them are, I just prefer old shows and movies.. Love you Lucy😘😘🥰 I'm still watching " I LOVE LUCY" she's such a treasure. After 44 years, Johnny Carson still going strong.

[@lazaromurad322]

OMG I've been binge watching Lucy interviews because I just ended watch Being The Ricardos (LOVED IT!) and I almost instantly knew she was a Leo she is so commanding and talks over people and is of course funny and entertaining, I knew it because im a Leo RIP

[@billyrossi4661]

I love 💘 💗 ♥ 💓 💛 💖 Lucy still after all these years..

[@rwilson7197]

Me too 💖💗💖

More class on that stage than we knew what to do with.

[@justincastillogayray]

episode 3667: Desk- "Suggestions and Questions from Audience for Johnny" the other guests were Erma Bombeck, Jay Leno and Joey Heatherton. Thursday. Annie Hall opened in theaters the Friday before.

[@rrc5122]

That was a very strange interview. o Of course I respect Lucille Ball and love her work but I think kudos go to Johnny for being able to make that interview work.

[@sharksport01]

shes drunk.

[@sashineb.2114]

If you watch other interviews with Lucy, she was often like this.

[@anthonydavid5121]

In 1977 you could say "I'm an Indian giver" NOT TODAY!!! I DO LOVE YOU LUCY

[@charleslayton9463]

EARTHWORMS! His face was priceless!! "JEE - suhs" I would say that Lucy was just a little lit. Probably taped this after lunch.

[@bruceleena2214]

I still love lucy to till this day

[@roarkkeepitunderaminutejef8773]

Predictive programming pretty sure they're both gone in 50 years later after this interview were watching it. Born in 67 grew up with it

[@cjrrun]

Lucille was as smart a star as there ever was. The best female physical comedian of all time. Carol Burnett second, then everyone else

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Imogene Coca, too.

[@jasonb1159]

The only show we were allowed to stay up late to watch as kids

[@bradkelley8732]

Right before this I watched a clip from 76 of Johnny with Gregory Peck. Now this. By this episode I was completing my first year of college. I stayed up and watched Carson every night i could. Peck, Ball--the GREATS. In my living room, night after night. I am so glad not only to have seen them perform in movies nad on TV, but to feel like I got to know them a little with Johnny. Did I mention--the GREATS.

[@romansroad2007]

She is and we’ll always be the best miss her and the rest of them all

[@pauldavies5611]

A very great lady.

[@mariekendall5471]

Lucy and Johnny both iconic!

[@LisaSmith3663]

1977 to 2021 that I'm listening. But I was listening in the 60s too. So wow yes more than 50 years and just another 6 years and this show will be 50 years old.

[@lovetheuniverse1160]

wow i enjoy it ,❤it's awesome thank u for yeah both !!!

6:43 - I love Lucille Ball's laugh 😂 😂 😂

[@raymondwolken7975]

Johnny you are the best,

[@johnkeating362]

50 years.......... not too far off. When I was in grade school, my bedtime was 9 p.m., except on Monday nights. My mom let me stay up to watch Lucy. I still laugh at every episode. Everyone has their favorites, mine are mostly the California shows. I love when William Holden and John Wayne appeared. Who can’t laugh when Lucy’s nose lights up? And when she and Ethel dropped John Wayne’s footprints “YOU SCARED ME!”. People will still be watching in 100 years.

[@garc0113]

My wife and I watch I love Lucy everyday 💕

[@andrahunsaker4781]

[@clickr73]

At 3:00 Johnny contemplates about whether or not in 50 years if we still will be watching the reruns, thank god for NBC and their backup tapes, which every episode was recorded in case of earthquakes. Yes Johnny and Lucy, we still watch all your reruns, and we wish you were still here today to see your heritage living on forever!👍🏻

[@markmaki4460]

Real glamour. Gone now, probably forever. Makes me look forward to seeing it again in the next life.

The greats do last, my favourite show started in 1955 (The Phil Silvers Show aka Sgt Bilko) and I still watch it regularly. An episode of Lucy is on the Bilko DVDs "Lucy and the effeciency expert"
