The Manure Man, Frank Hill, Brings a Special Gift for Johnny | Carson Tonight Show

[@randomgirlwhoedits.8054]

I am Frank Hill’s great grand daughter. Sadly my great grandpa passed away from complications following surgery for a stomach aneurysm in 2001, 5 years before I was born. My mom sometimes tells me all the cool stories about him. How he knew how to fly a plane and owned one. Also of course, his jewelry business! Fun fact: we still own his property where my family now hunts on. I also have some of the quail jewelry and pamphlets he made about his hunting reserve and jewelry business. I love that plot of land where he used to hunt, fish, and live. Although it is more worn down, my family still does a lot to keep it in good shape. I wish I had a chance to meet him, but I’m glad that I can watch this tv interview over and over again to see what everyone remembered him as.

my buddies dad back in the 80s wore his hat that way, he'd drive the fishing boat at full speed and that hat never moved, i always considered that some sort of miracle.

[@jeff6899]

Amazing, down-home, quick, dry sincere wit ! Great family entertainment. Another Carson Classic !!

[@Bbmangood]

It is really so funny to watch these old Johnny Carson episodes from the early 1980s and you realize that that world just doesn’t exist anymore and it was so cool it was so America

[@wildbill7081]

those guys are still around in the south and I am from Northern Alabama but left after high school and jointed the US Army back in 1970 and only went back for short visits. I lost my southern accent many years ago and live now in the Philippines for over 30 years. The last visit back was 2019 just before covid hit and I had a hard time understanding some of my Kinfolk as they are called hahahaha

[@jamie.777]

Its sad 😢. In the 80s about half the people watched Johnny , there was nothing else to watch. All ages could watch Johnny and laugh. Those days are gone, its a world of degenerates watching porn and tikTok

He’s the real deal, as simple as they come, not a damn thing to prove to anybody.

This is just one of the reasons Johnny Carson was the best at what he did….🤣👍

Burt Reynolds got Frank Hill to play "Dad" in "Stroker Ace." He was brilliant.

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. This guy is hilarious.

I remember when this premiered! I was pregnant with my first baby and laughed so hard the baby started jumping around. 🤣 Never thought I'd see this again. 😊

[@aprilosborn1886]

That's a cool story to tell that kid of yours, I just saw it and it's hilarious

[@alan30189]

Hope you and your baby (now grown) are doing well and that the doctor didn’t drop him/her on his or her head, like Frank.

[@jillkjv3816]

@@alan30189 Maybe because my OB was female she had a bit more dexterity than the male doctor who delivered Frank. 😊😉 My son is doing great. I think having a good sense of humor really helps you in being a mother, to raise children well.

[@duffysullivan2794]

I saw this live too! I didn't watch much Johnny Carson, he was on pretty late. But I saw this one and remember laughing so hard! Nobody was ready for this, not Johnny, not the audience, nobody. It just happened. Never thought I would see it again, hehe.

[@gretatheotherone4686]

❤️❤️❤️

[@mindeloman]

My grandfather spoke very similar to Frank. When I was little, I couldn't understand him. I would have to look to my dad for "translation." But don't let those accents fool you. My grandfather was most intelligent man I ever knew. He was a mechanical engineer and held several patents. And he was a US Marine in the Pacific and fought in two campaigns - Peleliu and Okinawa. He never talked about that, though.

[@Frank00]

I just love a souther accent

I always remember something Billy Connolly once said about not finding other comedians funny but listening to normal everyday folk and the mad things they do in their lives making him scream with laughter... I think this sums up that pretty well. Great stuff!

Johnny had such a great variety of regular people on the show. The lady who collected potato chips that looked like "things" is one of the funniest shows. Johnny was hysterical.😂

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Good laugh! Thanks Johnny. Miss you all!

[@WhispersFromTheDark]

I loved ole Frank! Bless his heart. I bet when he returned home they never let him live that down, that he was on some Yankees show. Hahaha..... But if you're going to be on a Yankees show, Johnny's show would be the one.

[@JeremyRoberts]

Not at all. KZbin user "AAA" shared a cool link from the Herald Journal-“Union Man's Business Dropping Off, But Makes Him a `Tonight Show' Hit." The newspaper mentions that Burt Reynolds saw Frank O. Hill’s genuinely funny 1982 Tonight Show appearance and offered him brief parts in 1983's "Stroker Ace" and 1984's "Cannonball Run II" [Hill's scene was deleted in Cannonball but Reynolds "kept in the movie a panel truck that advertised Hill and his jewelry"].

Carson often had regular folks on who had some measure of notoriety, and they were always treated with complete respect. I suspect he enjoyed interviews like this more than many of the “celebrities “.

Huh? He had great quirky people on the show & showed their hobbies - hobbies THEY were proud of & THIS show probably brought them a LOT of recognition. It was an honor to go on Johnny's show for anyone - from everyday people doing everyday stuff to entertainers trying to get their big break. Johnny was respectful but of course the audience was there to see him react & enjoy meeting them. Nothing wrong with what he did. Nothing at all. They had fun & everyone enjoyed laughing along with the quirks. Relax already!
