Oh this is just a priceless episode. Unbelievable to have so much talent on the show at once. I am so glad to have grown up in the 1960's. I used to sneak out of bed, down the hall, and under the Ethan Allen couch my parents would be snuggling on, just to get to watch The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. I loved him so, probably my first real crush truth told. He is still so cute to me. RIP all you dear souls

Great writing, great performances, and lasting classic impact. Wake up America. We need to get the junk off of TV and Radio and put back the genius of Jack, Mel , Johnny, et.al.

Jack Benny was a GIANT in the entertainment world, from the 1930's through the early 1960's. He's well past his prime here, and less than a year from leaving the world. For a thirty year span, though, there was nobody bigger than Jack on the comedy scene. Arguably it can be said that Jack invented the sitcom as we know it today. For a brief time Jack Benny RULED, and the American entertainment industry was greatly enriched by his input!
@dodger282911 ай бұрын

Jack Benny was a reliably great guest on any show he was on, what with his wit, story-telling ability, and his aura. The Benny and Blanc portion of the program splendidly documents how greatly enriching they were for America and how truly blessed America was to have them. And Carson was just so adept and unobtrusive in setting a respectful and encouraging tone for the program. It is depressing and a shame how America has nothing like this kind of entertainment anymore.

I apologize for posting again, but just had to! Mr. Mel Blanc was so entertaining in this Carson Segment!!! Just have to appreciate Mel Blanc for his voice with Warner as to the iconic Bugs Bunny Cartoons!

Was Mel Blanc sick when he did this program? His eyes were just so black. Heart trouble? ?

I love the contemporary references to The Exorcist. The film was just released a month before and it was freaking out America.
