      Great stories! I remember watching Johnny on a tiny (a 6 inch screen or so) black and white TV that a neighbor had thrown out. My mom let me keep it in my room because you couldn’t really see anything on the screen through all the snow. She figured I just used it for pretend, but at 11:30 I always dragged it out from under my bed to listen to Johnny and company (the TV audio still worked OK, just a lot of static). Rodney was always my fav guest.

For a good chunk of my life, until I was about 35 or so, I thought those episodes were strictly B&W...Last year I had a desire to revisit those classic episodes (I had never watched Doctor Who), and so my wife and I started watching the Tom Baker episodes, but the whole time I was watching it something seemed off.

    Johnny was the only host to allow his genius guests to shine while remaining the brightest light in the room. Just a talent on a level never to be equalled. Just watching him truly enjoy his guests, withholding that laser beam wit that he can wield at any moment, yet remaining confident and generous enough to set the stage. And charisma, my god, no superstar could steal a particle of his light without him gifting it willingly. Miss you Johnny.

      He was the greatest "straight man" ever. That is the most difficult job in comedy. And he did it well with everybody, no matter what their style, timing, subject matter. And he genuinely enjoyed his guest's humor and laughed at their jokes. But it's very hard to be a good straight man for all the varied talent he had on his show: from Rickles to Dangerfield and everything in between.

      Thomas Falken I don't know if the man was an addict or not. I like to think he wasn't. His movements and apparently sweating, since he keeps wiping his face with a handkerchief is part of his schtick, an act. Remember he's portraying a man that's on
      the edge of a nervous breakdown, if not in one already, full of anxiety, frustration and stressed out to the max because for as long as he can remember everybody and everything around him does not fit, his entire life is a whole lot of misses and very few and too far apart hits that even then they turn around and bite him on the ass. Thus his famous line I get no respect, you know, no respect. Either way a very funny man indeed.

      “He comes in wearing this aqua-blue leisure suit and takes out a plastic bag and does two lines of coke. He undoes his shirt and says, ‘Where’s the pussy?’ ” It was a hell of a first impression. Dangerfield would end up getting $35,000 for his role. And though he would always credit Caddyshack for launching his movie career, he would often do so while complaining that he actually lost $150,000 on the film, having given up a month of headlining in Vegas to shoot it.

      at the end of "It's a Wonderful Life"... Clarence the Angel gives George Bailey the "Tom Sawyer" book he was reading and in it he inscribes these words... "Remember George... No Man is a Failure who has Friends"
      There is SO MUCH Truth to that! And AGAIN... people LIKE Trump BURN their "People Bridges" because they don't SEE the REAL "Wealth" or "VALUE" of People. Of Family and Friends... And sadly... SO MUCH is LOST!
      When I got to meet both Rodney and Don Rickles after their shows... I was shaking hands with and TALKING TO Comedians... PEOPLE that I had grown up with and ADMIRED my WHOLE LIFE!
      It also made their passing MUCH more profound for me! I feel like I lost a little part of me when they passed on... but then I thought... Because I Think of them... they are STILL alive in ME! In MY Memories of them! They were Great men... NOT Because they were FAMOUS... but because they gave the VERY Precious gift if LAUGHTER to SO MAN for SUCH a long time! THAT is their Legacy! :D

    Carson made more people stars than all the agents and studios combined. If you got Johnny’s smile and handshake you had a career ahead of you.

    Rodney had an undeniable ability with one liners. It showed so well ANYTIME he appeared on Carson. Could be new or a classic. It always resounded with Carson.

      @@mem1701movies in what way "not exactly clean"? I saw him twice live. He never swore in his act. He joked about sex but that was about it. Explain?
