- Doc and the band have a chance to play a nice feature, but Carson jokes about timing them (and then does so). Doc shows his ability to ignore deliberate distractions!

World class ensemble and they were paid peanuts on this show. Last of the great Swing bands. Most of the guys like Ed Shawnesy, and Tommy Newsome are dead, except Doc. Such joyful music and talent.❤
Doc just retired. One of the finest players that the trumpet has ever known.
If you haven’t seen the documentary about Doc done a few years ago, go find it. I saw it on PBS. Not only a great musician, but a great human being. He is obsessed with inspiring young musicians.
@@Nicksonian Thank you for the tip. I will pull the Doc-umentary up.
Doc Severinsen never received the credit he deserved as a comedic foil, guest announcer, and side-kick. He could hold his own with the best. Thanks for sharing.
That is the point that you just made . Not only were they great musicians , there were a handful of guys in the orchestra , that were great at comedy .
@@josephforest7605 The NBC Orchestra was comprised of some of the greatest musicians/entertainers of their generation. They came of age during a time when live performances were the only venue. Radio was king. There was no internet, cable, and television was in its infancy. Thanks for sharing.
World-class musicians all. Don't see that level of talent today.
You sure don't I miss it loved Doc and the band!!!
Paul Schaffer and the CBS Orchestra came pretty close.
That's what sucked when Leno took over and that is no more Doc and the band .I never watched an entire episode of Jay Leno .
It was a different Era. There were few outlets, and musicans had to travel from gig to gig. Many of the NBC Orchestra members played with some of the greatest big bands: Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Stan Kenton to name a few.
That was one kick ass band - Every player was top shelf 👍
Many members of the NBC Orchestra played in Count Basie's, Duke Ellington's, and Charlie Barnett's bands, just to name a few. lol
Now THAT was Late Night TV at its very BEST & FINEST. Not the crap we see today.
Yes, it’s great. No question. Johnny will always be the king of late night. But Colbert and Kimmel put on excellent shows today.
@@Nicksonian They are much too partisan which turns people off. I do not mean to sound so "old" at 55. LOL.
@@FredLord-sp4ym Back in the day, Republicans and Democrats were largely moderates who leaned right or left. Today, we have a Republican Party that is fascist and active destroyers of fundamental American values that they beg to be made fun of. GOP politicians are some of the dumbest, most ridiculous human beings in U.S. history and make low-hanging fruit for any comedian. These mostly middle-of-the-road comics look like commies to white nationalists.
@@FredLord-sp4ym Colbert and Kimmel are corporate stooges... when we stayed-up to watch Carson, we felt like we were in the Rat Pack and we got the adult humor.
@@FrankieDee-hc8ji I know, right? Lol. It was an event to run home and watch Joan Rivers Guest Hosting for Mr. Carson. It was a different time and Era.
Damn I miss Johnny. And Doc…most people don’t know Doc is one of the greatest trumpet players ever. And he’s one of the greatest guys ever. There was a documentary about Doc done a few years ago. Fabulous. Go find it.
Mr. Severinsen worked at perfecting his Craft every day, regardless of how many years he had been playing. Each performance deserved his best and he gave it, and then some.
You will NEVER, EVER see that kind of talent again.
The truest statement on the internet!
@@palmerjohnson4982 🤨
Um no you will look further 😂
@@PumilateVFX enjoy
I'm curious...how do you know?
It must have been intense to hear them play LIVE in-studio between commercial,s "More To Come" bumper cards, and station identification breaks.
The idea of a “band number” was always a running gag with Johnny and Doc that never got old
The tonight show and Doc is the standard by which all other late night TV is measured... and none measure up today.
Absoluteley.
Best Big band ever
Indubidubly 🙂
They don't make stuff like this anymore this is classic and this is unbelievable Target believe that we took this for granted
We'll never see such talent and comic genius again.
The audience got to hear more of Doc and the band then we do watching them on TV.
Indeed! I have captured some of that in 3 videos:

Back in the 1970's when the show ran ninety minutes, local stations that did not sell alotted commercial inventory (which was rare), the "More to Come" bumpers would play longer.
Wow, were we ever so lucky; 5 nights a week of this talent, and the memories that have been saved. 2.5 minutes illustrated here beats the ever loving hell out of any Super Bowl Half time........ I do mean Lucky.......
SB Halftime was pretty good this year! Hip-Hop Classics! These guys are classic too.
Wow, they really were great entertainers - the lot of them.
Doc played so cleanly when in his upper register.
I had the Doc and Tonight Show band LP that came out in the '80s. Wow! What an album that was. Makes me want to track down a copy of it.
I had the same one. Part of a two volume set if it’s the same one. It’s on Spotify.
@@Pilot545Three albums. 1991.
Man, for those of us that grew up with Johny, and this great - great band!!.. it didn't get much better than this - Baby, these were the days! Social media & the internet sucked - oh for the days of watching Johny entertain us late at night
Man class act. When funny was funny. Totally clean. Great wit. Thanks for the memories
What a time to be alive...goodness!!!!
You don't see this genius today.
Pure Class! And think that Johnny kept all those great musicians hired and working!!!! You can tell how much he loved them. I remember seeing a "60 minute" interview with him where had a drum set in his house and they got him to play a bit. He loved and admired Buddy Rich.
Yeah, I'm soon to be 70, but I remember in college, after studying a few of us who meet in one guys room and drink some beer watching Johnny, Ed, & Doc. So I guess I am really a old.
Amen brother. Pure class says it all
What a master on trumpet the MAN
One of the best big bands ever!!
They sure were!!
Two and a half minutes of bliss.
There will never be another Tommy Dorsey!
You know, I do miss that sound... I believe Johnny said on one of the last shows that the Tonight Show Band was the last working big band on television. Never heard any better.
Actually, I believe you can still see on TV, big band jazz at Lincoln Center, probably still lead by Wynton Marsalis…another of the trumpet greats. But that’s not a regular thing.
Good stuff right here boys. 😀
Fantastic
The BEST!!!
Then end when the play the last note was great
4:45 Holy crap. Even Johnny had to be impressed.
Så kul
What's really sad is that nobody under 40 yrs old even knows who Johnny Carson is.
The number ended just when they started to cook!
None better for me
Johnny appreciated the band but I don’t think he really knew how lucky he was to have that group.
As mentioned World Class Musicians. Now, sadly it gone. Ed on drums was as good as Buddy Rich. Doc, what do you say? The entire band worked other gigs when not on the show!
I'm old, and miss this stuff!
Ed was a phenomenal drummer
As good as. Buddy?
No-
These guys were awesome too bad
2:34 music begins
How did Johnny stay "on" all the time? The guy was totally in the moment.
Johnny and Doc were both the very best at what they did!
Who is the arranger on this date? Is it Bill Holman?
Tommy Newsome.
@@larrysmith6797 Thank you sir that is a great arrangement
Johnny should've read the room better. It was disrespectful to shut that orchestra down so abruptly.
wow.. talk shows used to be cool..
I do not know why Jay Leno , did not keep The NBC Orchestra . Oh , wait I know money .
@@Jay-vr9ir ...you can't buy class...
Humanity peaked in 1998. Its over.
