Florence Hodges, 93, of Dothan, Alabama on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show (Sep 27 1989)
The best thing about Johnny Carson was his never forgetting his roots. He loved having perfectly ordinary middle Americans frequent his Tonight Show, and treated each of them as reverently as his famous celebrity guests. This particular spot from September 27, 1989 featured a quick-witted 93 year old who volunteered 8 hours per day, 7 days per week at a local hospital. (Perhaps one of her 56 mentioned grandchildren and great grandchildren will find this now long-forgotten Tonight Show appearance here on UA-cam.)

The Saddest Prevue Guide That Ever Lived
Переглядів 36 тис.14 років тому
Another historical look at the infamous Prevue Guide Amiga software most Americans and Canadians saw between 1988 and the mid-1990s (before the "blue grid" version came about). This one shows the software doing what it was infamous for: being rebooted and having its menus called up by cable company technicians. Only, the particular cable system this footage comes from (West Covina, CA) could al...

Another historical look at the famous Prevue Guide software seen on most American and Canadian cable systems between 1988 and the mid-1990s (before the "blue grid" version came about). This video includes clips of the software being rebooted and having its local operator maintenance menus called up by someone at the cable company. The clips are from August 22 1991, November 26 1991, and January...

Here's what the "blue grid" version of Prevue Guide looked like during its first few hours of operation on my cable system. Brand new out of the box, without any of its satellite video connections hooked up yet. The cable company was just patching Cable Radio Network through for audio filler.

Electronic Program Guide in West Covina, CA on 12/20/89

Here is an interesting historical look at the "Senior" (Amiga 2000 version) of the old Electronic Program Guide software which ran on most cable systems throughout America and Canada during the late 1980s and early 1990s. (The EPG Sr. software was later upgraded into Prevue Guide the split-screen version seen at ua-cam.com/video/UtvPd9MSCvs/v-deo.html which also ran on the Amiga 2000.) This par...
I love how Johnny goes and takes her hand and walks her up... He did that with all the old ladies he had on his show... A real gentleman.
"Doing what comes nature." President Carter would have laughed if he knew. He is a kind, Southern gentleman.
Call me a square, but I wish television could have stayed as clean as it was back then. I have heard that our brain is like a computer, if you put garbage in it, you will get garbage out of it. Such a pleasure watching these Johnny Carson's Tonight Shows. I think Okiedude5 said it the best! Ordinary citizens Johnny had on the show we're far more heartfelt and enjoyable than any celebrity.
I'm watching this episode right now...rest in peace beautiful one...❤🕊🙏🏽⚘🕊🙏🏽⚘🕊🙏🏽⚘
Me too 😊
Prevue's Cable Radio Network,Longtime Before Music Choice.
@8:42 she literally breaks the ice with her patients 😄
She's a REAL Star . . .
The piano piece played Mrs. Hodges exited is very nice. Does anyone know the name?
She was delightfully real.
bro got the cleanest version of this iconic cable song how
idk
Excellent, thanks for posting this!
True southern charm !
I could tell by watching this video and others of ordinary senior citizens those were some of johnnys best segments. Too bad I wasn’t alive when he was on 😢
Our older people and generations are from GOD. So very special humans. I’d love to just sit and listen to their life stories. I miss my Grammie and Grampie. So very much!
What is the Cable Radio Network? Was it used for public access networks
Wow, they actually got Prevue Guide working after a few weeks…sorta
Is Florence still alive?
This feisty ole' Southern Belle should've been made Carson's sidekick then and there. Sorry Ed, but it's only respectable to make way for your elders!
what a dear lady and johnny was awesome as always
Only johnny could find such lovely people. Miss him.
She's a pip❤❤
She kind of looks like Barbara Bush.
OMFG THEY GOT IT TO WORK?!!?
😊😊😊
Me too,!
😊 11:46 X.
This was long before the interactive guide you would get with DirecTV
😂 I love her!
❤❤❤
2:56 I had a VHS that had that Jetsons movie followed by Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey recorded onto it from around this time. Crazy to see them advertised together like this!
I see Jetsons: The Movie.
Johnny is such a charming, gracious, and skillful interviewer. He can talk entertainingly to anyone.
Arby's: We have the Cercopithecoids!

I don’t get why only the music sounded distorted and all the ads sounded fine if all of the audio came from the satellite feed. Or was the music on a separate audio track than the ads? And only the audio track with the music was screwy? If that were the case, why does the Amiga get the cues to switch the audio channel but no other data? I have too many questions after watching this video twice, lol.
She cracked me up about talking to the president!🤣🤣🤣
I LOVE THIS WOMAN'S "SPUNKINESS"!!!
I saw that this cable company replaced Prevue Guide eventually because of the incessant technical difficulties. Was there some other channel guide in its place?
100th comment! Did the cable company even bother installing new hardware and relaunching Prevue Channel or did they have some other channel guide thing like TV Guide on Screen?
I hope of that spray at 96. I’m now 75.
Stay youthful Madam. My father is 75 and calls others old.
Her job clearly meant so much to her. People need a reason to get up in the morning. That doesn't change. May God bless this organization .
There was a 100 year old Hispanic lady who worked for money 66 hours a week washing, drying and ironing university students' clothing. She needed a reason to get up.
Mommy still wearing her( real) Mink wrap also you go girl love love love you
she is soo beautiful...why???bcoz she didnt go for any face lift..... she is Cinderella
Why can’t they have late night like Carson anymore??
Johnny met his match with Florence! She is delightful! And a testament that helping people (and not dwelling on yourself) will keep you young. The President story was the best ❤. Thank you, Florence.
This is such a vibe. Mid morning right before Christmas, no wonder the tech was just chilling and listening to the music instead of working. I'd do the same
What an absolutely wonderful woman.
Those were the days, when the elders were respected 🇦🇺🥰🥂
The episode was on tonight.
Such a spunky old lady 🙏🙏🙏
Watching this on Sept. 21/22 and oh how I wish we could return to times such as this!
