It takes a very generous person to sit back & let someone shine, Johnny Carson was great doing that here & Steve never fails to show his comic genius.
Johnny also had that great comedic timing, he was good at setting the jokes up for his guests, he sort of instinctively knew when to be the straight man
Johnny was just self-confident, that's why he let their guests shine. He did not have to prove anything himself, just wasn't too needy.
I've told this often but; I was never a fan of Don Rickles' Work, no matter where he performed but on the Tonight Show, Rickles would walk out, do a few minutes of stand-up ( that sucked), then sit down next to Johnny to be interviewed. Rickles was then *hilarious.* I watched that same contradiction happen, more than once, when he sat down next to Carson after his stand-up routine. It was really something to watch.
The only other person who I would see interview someone that well was Bob Lobell, a Boston Sports Anchor, who even hosted a 1/2 Hour Local Sports Show for a while . I didn't love sports but watching his show was worth the time.
No he wasn't. Johnny couldn't just let Steve do his bit and gets the laughs, he had to throw in his stupid lines which ruin the flow of the real comedy.
Martin intentionally changing the beat to mess Carson up is top notch comedic jousting.
Martin just did this same exact bit on Conan tonight and it got a tremendous reaction! Incredible, 22 1/2 years later and the same material kills. He's the greatest entertainer alive.
Fabuloso…
Thanks
@77 l remember the Late Night experience
📌. Jack Paar…. Outta nyc. Very emotional guy. Always wore ❤️ on sleeves . Ended w nervous breakdown on air
🎬. Steve Allen next
Comedian, along w wife JaneMeaddows, Jazz pianist… lots of MAN ON THE STREET INTERVIEWS
……… A
LIVE of course, so improvisational stuff could blow up in one’s face… or be Zen
Next
📌Johnny…. He finished out most of the 20 th century…
No longer NYC… Burbank
🎲🍄🎪. Then the Jay Leno…
👀🤯⛩ Conan….. and of course WHO CAN FORGET NBC shafting David Letterman….
All these guys affected the nation!
Oh Ja, Then there’s TOM SNYDER, a real journalist… with his LATE LATE night investigations , interviews.
In depth conversation with unusually powerful folks who ran more into the esoteric genres.
🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢👀🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢👀

Conan was sluggish.
Johnny Carson was the best audience for his guests and he was the best talk show host by miles. No one came close.
Yep everyone is a liberal ass kissing boring host now
Conan
Johnny had some of the quickest wit ever.
Everyone knew the sluggish joke was coming but he figured out a way to get ahead of it and make people laugh with “2Gs”
Forgot how good Johnny was at being the straight man when he was the butt of a joke. Really lets the material “marinate” beautifully.
Conan has a comparable ability. Shame he isn't the one doing the show now
Johnny's reaction to being called "sluggish" the first time is priceless!
"Two g's I believe" is easily the best line in the riff.
Since it followed Steve saying "Johnny...", I was waiting for him to give a funny look, scratch out what he had just written, and go, "okay? G... G... O... H... N... N... Y..."
All these years later and Johnny is still the best late night host of all time.
Martin's comedic timing is impeccable in this bit.
Love how Steve broke at Johnny's "two g's" comment, lol
You have to give Steve Martin credit - he always seems to bring something special to his appearances instead of just a regular boring interview
He's a real comedic genius not how ppl call andy genius a real one
Steve works for weeks on his television appearances
@@ryanellis4474 it should be the standard tbh
@@taydrabrookshire347 Hear hear!
Why would anyone complain that he did this on Conan when that's part of the joke! LMAO
It's UA-cam comments ... not the brightest pieces of protoplasm here.
Totally agree with Guy. This was classic that he did it on both Carson and Conan. Gotta say Carson was better at playing along "That's 2 G's"
@@rudyfat7073
Johnny Carson was a quick thinker. No need for a script, shoot from the hip. That's what makes the difference between a comedian and a great comedian. They are in the moment rather than in their script mind.
@Iconic infidel
lol
@@bignoseharry6561 Johnny was so good. Also you can tell the command of respect he gets from the guest.
Man, Carson was so great with his guests
What a pleasure to see Steve break character with a big laugh at Johnny's "two g's" comment @4:40. Steve is so precise when he's in character - it must take a lot to get him to laugh...
Miss Johnny so much! Late night has never been the same!
I
I like Conan best
During the end of his career he was pretty bad
Will Beaulieu That would be 1989?
Johnny knew a great bit when he heard it. The audience laughing was all he needed.
Steve Martin is a genius. 1:00. It's like he's already planned out doing this bit again sometime later, he sounds so sarcastic. He even looks at the camera and smirks. Genius.
...first look at a Johnny Carson "tonight show" clip in many years...almost shocked at how funny, funny, funny the show was and how spectacularly superior it was to any talk show running today...great clip!!!
"Two 'g's."
This is why Carson was, is, and always will be the GOAT.
These two had chemistry.
Steve was great on SNL and has always been hysterical every time I have seen him.
Could you imagine Steve trying to pull off this bit with Leno stepping all over his punchlines?
Or even worse, with Fallon
@@ap6160 that’s happened already 😩
@@taydrabrookshire347 :-(
Johnny totally won that with "two g's, I believe." Oh, man. These guys were all so good at what they did.
"Heaven forbid I ever repeat any material." Notice how he chuckles and looks down at his tie. Steve wore that EXACT same tie a year earlier on his visit in December 1988.
Neat!
Johnny was a superb comedian, but also an accomplished straight man who could sneak in a really funny zinger at just the right moment.
Top level comedian for decades and always worked clean. Still laugh at so many bits I've seen a dozen times.
Wellll, he did have that joke about his girlfriends cat that wasn't so clean....
About the fifth time I've watched this over the years, still have tears...just as Steve wrote,
Love Johnny's laugh. Remember finding out about Steve in the 70s by the vinyl "Let's Get Small" a friend brought to my house when we were in junior high. God, I'm old.
I remember Steve on SNL doing "King Tut". That's my earliest recollection of him.
All comedians say he is a genius. I have to agree as he always kills me.
And now Jimmy Fallon just makes his guests play charades and giggles the whole time
That little add on from Steve at 3:15 really made Johnny laugh, just listen to the laugh from Johnny.
22 years ago Martin said to himself "I am going to do that bit again in 2012" It was all planned you can see it in the way that he looked into the camera when he said "God forbid ever repeat any material".
I really was expecting one of his diary entries to be, "did the phony diary bit and it bombed."
"Wouldn't that be funny?"
"If only I were a comedian!"
People complaining that he used the same bit on Conan 20 years later... if it causes people to actually go and see this clip of him with Carson, and then maybe to spend some more time looking at clips of Carson, and discovering what a brilliant, brilliant comic and host Johnny Carson was, then I think it's a good thing.
There's not going to be another Johnny Carson, and even though younger people are never going to fully appreciate what it was like when people actually stayed up to watch Carson (as opposed to DVR'ing or watching clips on UA-cam) they can still enjoy what an amazing talent and charismatic person he was.
Every one who has come after, no matter how good they are, is basically just trying to capture a fantasy of being Johnny Carson.
I don't think they were complaining! It makes it even more funny.
Your comment is so true and so sentimental, it makes me want to cry. Millennials will never really know. But I'm glad they can at least get a distant glimpse. They deserve to know, too. (However much it's even possible for them to know, anyway.)
+therealnightwriter I don't own a tv either..I stole mine..
“In fact, he wasn’t there. It was Jay Leno” ouch!😂😂😂😂😂💀
Love Steve, still. RIP, Johnny💗
This is great, Steve and Johnny are legends! I was only a few months old when this happened and he already had 66 appearances! I am so glad these classic moments are all being uploaded now.
if u notice on this appearance and his future appearance on conan the notebook and hes adlibbing this whole thing. hes a genius
"Two g's"
"I was going too say eggish" LOL
LMAO Gods, these two played so well off each other.
4:39 - I love it when Johnny gets his snap in.
STEVE MARTIN: TIMELORD.
You have to admit with all due respect to the hosts of todays late night shows. Nobody will ever touch Johnny Carson. The man was not replace-able. Back in the 80's who would have thought that young college aged folks (me one of them) would stay awake just to watch him. It was while watching one of those shows that we had found our John Lenon had been shot. I'll never forget Johnny and Ed a fine job.
The final story about the kids.....classic Steve Martin. I could see it happening on the set.
Steve Martin appeared on the Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson 70 times I think. I'm going on the assumption that 66 times didn't include this appearance and according to the imdb, Martin would appear 3 more times after this.
THE MAN WAS A COMEDY GENIUS.
This was such a good bit. He'd probably have to wait way longer than 5 years to do it again.
April 15, 2022 - Steve Martin Hilarious as always! Love him! ♥️
Steve Martin used to be a writer on the Smothers Brothers Show.
please release a DVD box set of all of Steve’s 66 appearances!!
Absolutely love Steve Martin he’s so funny and kind. I live that King Tut routine he did years ago. ❤
That is definitely one of the funniest guest appearances I have ever seen.
Carson was unbelievable.
And some 24 years later, he did, indeed repeat this bit on Conan!
Martin intentionally changing the beat to mess Carson up is top notch comedic jousting.
Love both geniuses, I do!
Thank you, Jeff, for posting this and so many other Johnny clips!
Jeff, will you be my penpal? :-)
Holy balloon animals this was 25 years ago. I'm so old.
yes you are. lol kidding im getting there to, oh btw go habs go. lol
Holy Balloon animals, indeed. Thank you for giving me a new favorite expression.
30 years now, grandpa.
@@Ohfishyfishyfish Dammit.
"Holy balloon animals" is funny, but did you ever see Steve's bit with making them without blowing them up? His deadpan delivery is priceless and never gets old. 30 years now, but who cares? I'm so old too.
Used to listen to him on vinyl back in the 70’s.
OMG that's insane!!! This is the longest last joke ive evere seen!
" Two G's, I believe." One of his great ad libs.
johnny facial expression to the first time he says sluggish=priceless
I just realized a few days ago Steve Martin might be my favorite actor, I think he is, or is he a comedian? I can see him as an actor because of planes and trains, he conveyed a lot of emotion in that.
Steve Martin ❤
How in the world did any one guest make 66 appearances on any given show? Gotta' love Steve Martin! 😁
"So I don't, God forbid, repeat any material..."
Hahaha. :)
I rewatch and rewatch...pure gold
Johnny's reactions are priceless like he doesn't see it coming but knows it's probably not good.
Thanks for posting this comedy classic. TV is just not the same without Johnny.
Awesome informative Video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙌🙏
I love the Johnny stepped on his line by saying to geez
This was a great show every time Johnny and Ed are great together ❤❤❤
Steve has been on the Tonight Show with many of its hosts. I don't think many others can say that.
Carson was the best ever!
its so funny he said that it wouldnt be good if he repeated the same joke again on tv show .. and 20 smth years later, here it comes, diary on Conan lol
That's what I call committing to a bit.
And it shows impeccable timing too.
He did mention 5 years later and everybody had forgotten the act.
Excellent timing and deadpan straight-man act, both of them.
What a great bit. What an original thinker.
I love these two!
Oh yeah, almost forgot. I love Steve Martin.
Epic. Martin a genius, Johnny the Undisputed King for so many years. Bluntly, Johnny not a pimple on the a** of what we have on late-night today. Ooops said it wrong but u get the idea I hope. Johnny WAS the man.
Best clip I've ever scene
Steve Martin - still getting it done. 💥👌💥🙀
Looks-wise, Steve is the bridge between Harrison Ford and Dennis Quaid
What a Great show.... Feel like I been there.
Steve is fantastic
THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE JOKE WHY HE DID IT ON CONAN, because he said he wouldn`t repeat a joke!!! Hahahaha XD
Steve Martin and Martin Short both watch UA-cam! You have to, if you are a comedylover and want to look on some of your and others stuff! Steve maybe even stumbled over this very page and remembered this joke! The world becomes narrow in the internet! Hahaha XD
And yes... Martin Short reads your comments, SO TALK NICE ABOUT HIM! (who wouldn`t)
steve seems so naturally funny
of course, he's a wild and crazy guy!
This is sheer brilliance.
Two show biz giants !!!!
_Parenthood_ is actually a great movie on the titular subject. Mary Steenburgen, Dianne Wiest, Rick Moranis, young Keanu Reeves. Directed by Ron Howard.
One of my all time favorites in fact.
He looked awesome at 44
Brilliant.
steve martin was on fire back then
Genius Genius that man is incredible.
I think the repeat on Conan was part of the Joke...a subtle one, a complex one.
LOL’ing!!!
Steve Martin is the Led Zeppelin of comedy. The best
0:26 his face IS the comedy mask from the Comedy & Tragedy pair.
2 of the funniest people on tv. glad they invented recorders.
I love you ❤️ Steve
Carson is the best.
