      What most people don't realize is for these situations-comedian (sut-com for short) , and Late host , these writers look normal, yet are really mentally ill,(you thought I was going to say "mentally illegal "roll on the floor 😳..but that is correct..your Hollywood entertainment industry scripting writering, and actors are allowing nothing to be hinded..this comes from the heart ❤...thank you verry much..

    "If you stick around, we'll stick around for a while and do the show for you." And he did so for another 5 years.Those days as a kid were really special. Staying up with my folks every Friday night to see Johnny and all the boys, the smoking and drinking, the comforting sound of my parents laughing. You can't match that kind of talent today. There was a real sense of freedom back then that Genx and the Millenials will never be able to experience because of the enslaving, stifling PC we have created for ourselves in this brave new world. I'm so very blessed to have seen this for myself and enjoyed those moments I now cherish.

      Great writing Christopher. I now wish to add A BIG FAT DITTO to your comment. The way things are now, 2021, even the small successful comedy clubs are closing down. Shame on the
      SJW and their bullying political correctness. Great free speaking comics are gone forever now.
      😢😢😢😢 😠 😠 😠 & imo,
      People under 40 HAVEN'T GOT A SENSE OF HUMOR and most can't properly speak nor write.
      Happy to be a BabyBoomer. We were lucky to have enjoyed the best in entertainment. Great music (especially the seventies),
      wonderful actors and really funny comics.

    Wish he had went on to do at least 35 years and say goodnight one last time in 1997, a way to bid farewell to the last of the greats of the 20th century and the golden years of late night television, my news source came from Johnny, Ed & Doc. As Bob Hope eloquently sang "Thanks for the Memories" I'll just keep watching here on UA-cam when I need to go back in time and try to relive how great we really do have it here in America despite today's troubles and an ungrateful nation that we have become.

You can check it out at any of your local libraries. It starred Jeanette McDonald & Clark gable & Spencer Tracy!!! I highly recommend 👌 it !!!!! It is in black ⚫ & white!!!!! But who truly knows. My father moved us to southern California when I was 13 yrs. Old. We found out a lot about earthquakes, mudslides undertows in the Pacific ocean & winter rains & mudslides !!!!!!! What about the 🔥 fires. I lived in it and survived!!!!!
