I’m only 36…but growing up seeing Leno, Fallon, Kimmel etc..after seeing clips of him, add all of today’s late night hosts up and that’s just a microscopic fraction of talent that will never be Carson. Like Jerry Seinfeld said, “when Carson left, the tonight show left with him”
All theses years later, Johnny Carson got me here coughing up blood laughing my ass off. What a great guy. What a great edit and upload and what a great UA-cam channel. Well done sir, well done!
That's AWESOME how much laughter and joy that Johnny is bringing you, me and AT LEAST, a few hundred more, but, coughing up blood, well, that took a REAL sudden turn from THOROUGHLY enjoying CLASSIC comedy and ENTERTAINMENT to, NIGHTMARE THEATER, remember that, on CBS, local, Seattle, before said, NMT???!!!!!
Well I'm too young to have seen this when it aired, hell I was not even born when he quit the show, so for me there is no nostalgia and I'm very much enjoying this. Todays shows seems so plastic and Johnny Carson seems more genuine.
@@danskviiking that's cool that you're enjoying these...and yeah obviously what I said isnt true for all....just always seems to be a level of being negative about anything current and a love for anything older. Partly because they only show "best of" these older shows. They cut out the boring and unfunny stuff so it looks better. In 30 years people will think Fallon was 10 times better than whoever is on air then. Happens with everything.
@@Kevin-tz2lv Lather, rinse, repeat when it comes to *everything*. That’s how we get people sincerely thinking whole time periods from the past were better in every way. Nah, I’ll take my medical care from 2021 and people looking at their phones today over 1950s style racism and Doctors smoking while they check my baby’s lungs in the examination room.
@@cjaquilino true. And it helps when UA-cam, for example, shows only "the best" of something. So basically 1% and dumping away the other 99% you'd have to sit through if it was a live show. You scrape away 99% of my life and that 1% will make it seem like I had a very exciting life lol
1:34-2:06 Ed asks a legitimate question. Johnny turns into Don Rickles for some reason. Ed’s able to zing the boss. Johnny finally gives an answer to the legitimate question before the video cuts. I don’t know why, but that didn’t feel like playful banter.
Nobody bombed better than Johnny.
We miss you ✨🙏🏼✨ RIP Mr. Carson.
Johnny Carson is, was, and forever will be The King.
The King of Late Night Entertainment!!!!!!!!
So cool that they all got along like this that they could kid each other.
Even when Johnny Carson was off, he was still better than anyone else
Notice how Johnny immediately knew Alan had a little bit set up and he went right into straight man character. What a pro.
There will never, ever be another CARSON!!
The only late night talk show host who came close was Letterman.
When he taps the microphone to see if it is working at 2:28 is just perfect, simple gesture that had me laughing
Just seamless talent no fumbling around
Johnny bombs, then turns the bomb into a burst of uproarious laughter. That’s a comedy genius at work.
Even when Johnny Carson bombed, he was still great!

Carson was at his best when he was ad-libbing when he was struggling.
Even when Johnny "BOMBED"......he was funny ......
Natural talent, charm, charisma...!!!!!!!!
ESPECIALLY when he bombed he was funny.
Natural talent and charisma!!!!!!!!
The audience adored him. Good or bad it was an honor to be there.
I love this!!
Great line at 4:58.
Funny thing about all the online Johnny comments on all these videos is that if he were on today.....same people would be bashing him lol
Agreed. Nostalgia paints all glasses rose-colored.

The Master.
Lock up when you're finished
Could I ask you a question? Would you lock up?
It was Johnny's talent that saved his writers bad jokes. Johnny was better off script
Johnny was the best at late night hosting. A gifted performer. Unfortunately, he was a miserable bastard in his personal life.
The delivery is more important than the joke.
Beat adlibs when he bombed...

Johnny seemed older but classier. Lost his edge but not his wit.
@zs
Miss Alan King, Johnny.
Ed not so much for his inept mismanagement of his money.
Why would Ed's mismanagement of his money make ANY difference?
You must be fun at parties, George.
02:29
But the thing is, Johnny doesn't write the jokes, other people do so he's only as funny as his writers.
