    I know it's life but it's so flabbergasting to be watching this episode and realizing that all of these great entertainers are gone. Seems like yesterday we were all watching this show in real time. You just don't see classic performers like this much anymore. Tim's deadpan comedy was so funny and entertaining. His interaction with Carson was just so classic Tonight Show. RIP, Tim, Johnny and Ed.

      Conway had the ability to get real silly, but his schtick was more in the vein of Bob Newhart who was better at it. But I'd be really hard pressed to pick between those two. Newhart could never be a regular on the Burnett show, but Conway could never deliver the deadpan like Newhart. That old era of comedy was truly Golden.

      Johnny was actually the 3rd host of the tonite show. Steve Allen 1954-57, Jack Paar 1957-62.Johnny Carson took over in 1962 till 1992 when Jay Lenos representative stuck it to Carson and kind of forced him to retire. The show went seriously down hill after that, and got worse with each new host.

      Carson made them look good. He made them look interesting and funny just talking about their lives and what they did for a living and stuff. He didn't have to fill a lot of time, but during that time those men shown like diamonds.
      Johnny Carson just had this incredible skill of pulling the very best out of people when he was talking to them. We are all the poorer for not having him around anymore, and I so wish that there had been someone to fill his shoes.

Arnold said that his wife always kissed his balls before he went out on the course. And without a seconds hesitation, Johnny said “I bet that really straightens out your putter!” I was probably 12 or 13 at the time and I don’t know who is more embarrassed my parents or me. But I remember that to this day how quick-witted he was.

      But the 311 complaints are, in fact, mostly related to a painted electrical box that is rusting in an unfortunate fashion at its base." In other words, most of the calls on that topic are bogus.
      Also, " In 2022, San Francisco had the highest median household income of cities ranking within the top 25 in terms of population, with a median household income in of 136,692 U.S. dollars." Now even a bigot like you must realize that a US city with the highest median household income wouldn't be a scat-infested city. You should consider yourself lucky if you could afford to live in a city like San Francisco.
      As for rural trailer parks, yes, they do have public toilets. You should see the meth and fentanyl needles left behind in them. Luckily, fentanyl, being an opioid causes constipation. Hence no need for a phone app to track scat in rural areas.
