  • 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.❤

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.
