I absolutely love The Smothers Brothers and it was very sad to hear that Tom had passed away. I had a wonderful time seeing them perform in Branson MO thirty years ago. They were hilarious and Tommy did that impression of Carson on stage that night and it really felt like Johnny Carson had walked out on stage. He looked so much like him and every single body movement, facial expressions and posture was so perfect it was uncanny. Beyond that, he was hilarious and clever to a degree few can match in comedy. He will be missed and remembered.

Carson was the Master of not just comedy timing, but making his guests feel comfortable and look their best...... Some of my greatest memories are spending Friday nights with my grandfather watching the show while he had his martini and maybe a cigar......He was a class act and so was Johnny I miss you Pop.....🍸🚬

I just learned that Tommy Smothers has passed away. I’ve always admired him for his impeccable impression of Johnny Carson. I’ve always considered him the keeper of the flame since Johnny died almost 19 years ago. At least now these two legends are reunited in the hereafter. R.I.P.

I was lucky that my Dad watched the Smothers Brothers when it aired. I was 8 when it started. I remember it, especially the Who and the Pat Paulsen for president gag. The more of the greats that we lose each year, the more I become aware of facing my own mortality. RIP Tommy. These two will never be forgotten.

This is real genius and talent. This skit involved many hours of writing and rehearsing, plus impeccable timing in delivery to make it look unrehearsed. It was clean and hilarious. These two were masters at their craft.

We just recently lost Tommy Smothers. I was very affected by his passing. Over the years there have been many folks that I have admired who have passed. I don’t know why, but Tommy’s death really affected me. I miss him.

This is the first time I see this episode and I'm so glad I came across it. Tommy Smothers is absolutely hysterical imitating Johnny! He was PERFECT! And even after he sat down Johnny couldn't adjust his tie or tap a pencil or anything without Tommy doing the same thing lol. This one is truly THE BEST celebrity impersonation I have ever seen! And most definitely deserving of a rolling on the floor laughing my ass off! 😂😂🤣🤣

While I knew of all of them, I didn't watch the show every night, so I never saw this routine, so they got me good. I was wondering why are they going to the stage to do a 10-second bit. This whole scene with his impersonation and then the 2 of them doing the 'dog' routine, I was ROTFLMAO. I also want to mention that the title had me confused, which I didn't understand until he did. May he RIP. p.s., wasn't that chevy chase there as well?
