Johnny was a real pro. He allowed his guests to do their thing. He wasn't constantly interrupting trying to be cute.

[@drdre4397]

Matt Beeman Actually they are comedians; however, a lot of hosts today do not respect their guests

[@delvikingjr5739]

Absolutely correct . Johnny was also a fan of these great talented people and visaversa

[@zippy-zappa-zeppo-zorba-etc]

Back in the day, all hosts were in broadcasting. Letterman was the last one. Since Leno they've all been comedians. He was the rare comedian who could also listen to a guest. Almost all others are trash.

Rodney, The man, The myth and the legend. When a comedian could do a 30 minute set without one, one I mind you curse word. This was the golden age of talent, and John was the best talk show host ever. He never cut a guest off while telling a story, never the fake Fallon laugh. I’m 58 now and I remember when my mom would let me stay up late during summer vacation to watch The Tonight Show. Great memories.

[@mikeg.9238]

Julio Santos You are right and Rickles is the last one of that era of real comedians who don't have to say FU in every other word to be funny. I'm glad I'm old enough to have seen them when they did their original appearances on TV. Also I remember some of the Dean Martin roasts from the early 70,s, I was a kid but I remember my parents laughing there assess off, every now and then I go watch them on KZbin and crack up, they destroyed each other without swearing and it's still funny as hell.

[@JCSanto]

Geniuses...unlike whatever goes for comedy now...these were men geniuses..Rickles ...My all time fav ..I really miss watching it with my parents and cracking up ..we had it pretty good in the 70s....till 80s came along f@$ked it all up..lol.

[@mikeg.9238]

Julio Santos Yeah I agree, Rickles is my favorite also, but I have to say the 80,s were a good time for me, I was going through my teens during that decade and had a lot of fun and wouldn't trade it for the world. We didn't have political correctness BS and everyone got along with each other. Not to mention we good music, parties and girls so I can't complain, plus things were much simpler back then, just my opinion...

There's a real art to stand-up comedy. It's not easy. But, Rodney was an artist and always delivered. Back in 1968 or 1969, I was in the Steel Pier theater in Atlantic City waiting for the main act, the Temptations to come on. The warm up act was a comedian. The guy came out and told some of the worst jokes ever. I felt sorry for him. The audience was silent. But, that was the set-up. After a few minutes he said, "this isn't working, I'll be right back." So, he came back on stage with a dummy and was a brilliant ventriloquist. I laughed until my stomach ached. Never forgot it. Great comedy brightens our day. Delivery is what it's all about. And, Rodney could deliver with the very best.
