1985 Flashback - Laura Branigan and Burt Reynolds on The Tonight Show

The golden era of late-night TV featured a memorable exchange as Burt Reynolds offered up a humorous and well-timed ad-lib during Johnny Carson's interview of Laura Branigan following her musical performance on "The Tonight Show." Ed McMahon got in his share of kisses. Recorded in June 1985.

And Ed McMahon and Laura Branigan too. Amazing and sad that Laura was the first of these four to leave us.
