George was ONLY 22, on national TV, with JOHNNY CARSON and he was cool as a cucumber! I've seen SO many people get VERY nervous with Carson, but George handled it SO well!
I think like most English people he has never heard of him
Boy George is not just a brilliant artist but also a masterful visionary.
@@richardjames9091 Whether or not George had heard of him, it doesn't take ANYONE long to realize JOHNNY was EXTREMELY "quick witted"! Plus, the show had a HUGE audience, and was broadcast LIVE across the Eastern time zone of the US back in those days! So even if George DIDN'T know who Johnny was, he STILL handled the situation well, especially for someone so young!
Boy George is a criminally underrated singer/vocalist. Underneath all the glamour & show, he really is a very soulful singer.
He was one of the biggest stars of the 80's because of his voice. Hardly underrated. He just chose to get out of the limelight.
Yes - totally rated globally.
@@michaelharrington75 Boy George was the Bomb 💣 🤩
I believe that he HAS been recognized as a good singer......as soon as Culture Club came out. However.....I don't believe that EVERYONE KNOWS that he is a songwriter. A DYNAMIC songwriter. And I believe that EVERY one of the songs he wrote were from his OWN personal experiences. I 💕 am 70 now.......I was 30 when Culture Club "hit" the scene! I was IMMEDIATELY "taken in" by George. I thought to myself......"Oh...... Debbie! You are WAY too old to be feeling this way......". I found out later.... no, I wasn't too old in the LEAST! 💕 Loved the other members, also. And...... STILL DO!
It's true. His voice is so expressive and soulful. The image might have gotten all the attention, but the songs held up because of his and the band's talent.
He was so mature for his age. At 22, he can speak to Johnny Carson like that?! He knew who he was.
Boy George is actually a pretty good interview here. I wasn't expecting him to be so conversational and interesting.
Oh.....yeah! Great conversationalist..... articulate in his speech..... knowledgeable. Sooooooo witty! And....by the way..... NEVER AT A LOSS FOR WORDS!
I don't care how he dresses or looks. He's a great singer and Culture Club albums are beautifully recorded.
YEAH 👍!!! Although......I really LOVED the way he dressed! It added to his " allure". Loved Culture Club when they first came out...... and I ALWAYS WILL. ESPECIALLY George. I am 70 now. Culture Club is TIMELESS
Love Boy George. His voice and personality are wonderful. Never cared that he was different. That’s what makes him unique
He was a homosexual. Why is it so hard to say this !?? It is not demeaning, it's the simple truth. More to him !!!
This was actually a very good interview. Even though Johnny doesn't seem sure what to make of him, he approached George in a respectful manner and asked some very honest questions. This was a bold conversation for the time, and of course George handled it beautifully.
Ugh
@@celestialwonders it took you 7 years to come up with that! 😝
@@zerofox7347 yeah, it took 7 years to ugh. Walk in peace ......🤡
Johnny used a lot of skill here!
YEAH 👍! To every statement you made!!! And, yes...... George had the uncanny ability (AND THE WIT!) to "handle" a conversation. George was NEVER AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. Another added plus.....there was such a smooth "flow" to his speaking. Absolutely 🤗 love 💕 this guy. And.....I always will
Johnny is a class act,.................a fellow of all souls. Being on the tonite show back then,.....was like being on the center stage for America...Boy George gained much respect after this......well spoken,humorous,...and a fellow of all souls. Honorable People.
Boy George is well mannered and very polite.
Not so much after he left Culture Club. I mean......I have seen him..... into the 90's.... get short of patience.... and short of temper. But...yes...... when Culture Club was the "rave"...... George DID conduct himself well
Well, he's Irish and lives in London, England.
@@debraweaver6308 George is human !!
@@MarilynCrosbie No, George is English. His mother was Irish.
@@boink800both of his parents were part Irish therefore he was aswell.
Boy George was 22 during this interview?? CLASS. CLASS. CLASS. Johnny was clearly accepting to him as well.
Johnny showed class to everyone. Didn't mean he liked or accepted every guest.
Big horrible creep should be in jail, and there just for its? Singing
He is so handsome when he is younger. i saw this just now
cyndy medina yea he was the total 80s look at the time.
@@litefoot900 Huh ??
Once you get past the initial shock look, if you listen to him you find he is very insightful and intelligent.
I'll let you know when that happens.
Getting past the look...
A smart young man..
That is the whole point.
spot on
80s kids saw it as a cartoon character not a lifestyle....js
Wow, just 22 years old ....
Johnny is such a skilled interviewer.
So young, but has his authenticity all these years. Great role model.

Amen! “Look at Liberace, I’m hardly revolutionary”.......
Best comeback ever.
Chief Big Bob yea true... but Everyone Knew...🧐🙂
I was thinking exactly that.
Very intelenegent how he respond back.
Milton berle
Boy George has a great voice! And Carson was the best ever. He set the bar high, and no one talk show host has yet to pass over it. He knew how to bring out the best in his guest and always made the guest the focus, not himself, the way so many hosts tend to do. Excellent interview.
Beautiful voice. I'm Black, but Elvis, Boy George and George Michael are my favorite White Boys.
Me too
Why is it necessary to say that you are black ? Are you implying that you would expect black folks to only like other black folk artists as their favorites and the same with white folks? We should like them for their artistry and not have to be almost apologetic. My favorite artists include Sammy Davis Jr and Leontyne Price. They are not "Black" artists, they are great "artists" who happen to be black.
sgnmath1234 exactly. Why oh why do some people make everything about race?...
🦓 Guess what ? I believe that it is o.k. if Mooky wants to announce anything , his age , sex , skin type . . . whatever .
That is called 'free speech' .
And , yes , Sammy is black . He had alot to deal with when touring around and looking for lodging or a place to eat .
Did you ever think about that ?
He also married a Scandavian woman , Britt May . Do you think that he noticed her skin type ?
Marvin Gay an Al Green are my favorite Black Boys.
I applause when he said: Why do you have to have an excuse to enjoy yourself? There is nothing wrong with enjoying yourself and dressing up if you want. Besides, he has such a beautiful voice.
What a beautiful human being, so intelligent. Boy George was so a head of his time and still is . Love him
Good old Carson could interview anyone and always gave them the respect they deserved. He was truly the king of the talk show circuit for many years.
Scott Matheson I think your right. Though, he says to George. You wouldn't be noticed in a part of LA that has this thing. Which, in retrospect, very very bad. He is saying, your a drag queen, your just the same as everyone else. Wooooops
Scott Matheson Still is
hii he is beatiful
Agreed. Johnny Carson was an extremely talented, one of a kind talk show host. And above all; a true professional. This interview with Boy George nails it.
Scott Matheson I am with you on that and God Bless
Boy George definitely comes off as a classy, highly intelligent and interesting guy here. After a while, his code of dress simply blends in with his character. I kind of enjoyed this interview by Johnny.
Wow .... disappointed I didn't grow up in the Johnny Carson era, this guy is a great interviewer
@@1961RetroMIke He wasn't called the "king of late night" for nothing. I'm glad to have watched him for years and to see The Tonight Show live too.
You missed a great era to grow up in Nate. Those were some great times with great people like the King Johnny Carson around.
The greatest talk show ever.
Just compare him to the idiot Jimmy Fallon. See how far the program's fallen?
Johnny was awesome! Boy George is still cool! Such a real person...
One of the reasons Johnny was the king of late night talk shows was because he could literally talk to anyone on a respectful, intelligent and thoughtful level. This was a great interview despite the fact Johnny and Boy George come from two completely different paradigms.
I was getting a bit irritated after Johnny mentioned for the third time about George wearing make-up and in costumes. Come on Johnny, it's called clothes.
Watching these in April 2020 in the Middle of a World Pandemic, Very Glad That I Lived the 80´s. Great Decade for Music!
I love when David Letterman told him 'I just didn't expect you to be so..'.then George said BEAUTIFUL? He was talented and had great songs-we got to hand it to him.
And..... such WIT!
What a refreshingly honest interview...in 1984 no less. New respect for both men, as if I didn't have enough before.
Fantastic to see Johnny Carson and a 22 year old Boy George. Great conversation. Great post! Thank you so much.
I USE WATCH JOHNNY AS A TEEN BG TO I LISTEN TO HIM ALOT BUT JESUS CHRIST IS MY SAVOIR NOW JESUS CHANGED ME WHEM I WAS 18. TURN TO JESUS TODAY FOR WHOSEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALLBE SAVED,ROMANS 10-13
Boy George was so ahead of his time.
Lifetime's ahead so awesome he is.
Boy George is an amazing performer. Also, I love his honesty. I wish him all the blessings.
"why do you have to an excuse to enjoy yourself?" well done!
Exactly, I agree. And he is only 22 years old in this interview, yet, notice how well spoken and intelligent he is.
Hr was a genius. Stone cold genius and thirty years ahead of us all
What are you tolking about were lip stick plesae tell me right now too
80s kids saw it as a cartoon character not a lifestyle.
@@stevengriffith436 I went to high school with a Steve Griffith.
That was so funny and on point....for a country who had Liberace!~
Good for Boy George!
*****
...Since everyone who ever heard him loved him and his music...why would he have to justify himself? It is so sad that while they made money off of him..they kept trying to make him feel like there was something wrong with him.
And,what is this 'need to know' that the press and Oprah and the old one with dyed blonde hair on the view...are always saying?
@@armandofernandez8257 ...Get a life.
Wow. He was only 22. Amazing.
Your stupidity is incomprehensible

Boy George was just plain beautiful. It's amazing how much has changed in 30 years in regards to how people see gay culture.
The change in society's attitude toward gay culture is less about acceptance and more about the marketing of gay culture. People have accepted the marketed model which standardizes the difference between gay and "non-gay" persons as simply a matter of "sexual preference." In other words, there is no difference between John Straight and John Gay other than the gender of their sex partners. Gays are like everyone else; they just want to date, marry and settle down. The rest areas, truck stops, parks and strangers trolling for other strangers do not exist in the approved model. Neither does the explanation of why HIV has almost exculsively impacted the gay community --- the sheer promiscuity of it's members. A average never-married straight guy might have X-number of sexual partners by the time he is 30. His 30-year-old average gay counterpart may easily have a hundred times as many partners. I have nothing against gays --- I have a huge issue with propaganda and being told what I can think and believe based on what I know.
I'm 49 years old.. Back then, gays were beaten to death for coming out of a gay bar. He handled the age he lived in with class. You could NOT say you were gay, even though it was obvious. This vid also reminds me of what a class act and all around good guy Carson was.
Yes he was. Love him.
LeeAnn20008 I love him too!
Denise L.
me too! respect to him always.
Love his voice!! An awesome singer!

People have to remember that in 1984, this was unbelievably cutting edge. Johnny Carson was always interested in the new-now-next and this interview is SO much more candid and honest than the usual cr*p that passes for 'interviews' now. Great clip, thanks for posting!
golondrina62 I was in college during this time and recall how Boy George was pretty cutting edge. Prince was also as well as Madonna. MTV was evolving into a big platform for new cutting-edge artists and the term VJ (Video Jockey) was becoming a House-hold term amongst tweens and teens.
This was also a period when aids was not fully understood and was becoming an epidemic that many were terrified of. The U.S. was also going through a Cold War with Russia and there was fear of a nuclear strike. The summer Olympics held in LA was also popular that summer.
Lots of memories come back to me of that particular year.
Johnny is sexy as hell
Yep! So true. Johnny was pure and true. No show boating!
Very true. I was 11 when this aired, and it was at the very beginning of the AIDS crisis. Boy George was revolutionary in beginning the shift in perception of the gay population, and one of the reasons straight Gen X adults like me support gay rights. The Boomers, who are in their 30s and early 40s in 1984, are so perplexed by Boy George they really don't even realize he's gay in many cases. The first time my dad saw him on MTV, I knew as a 10 year old this was a man in drag, though I'd never seen it before. My dad believed he was a woman- literally- and wouldn't listen to my siblings and I.
80s kids saw it as a cartoon character not a lifestyle.
Fast forward to 2017, and Boy George is still with us and is still the same but wiser and turned out to be very handsome, and love him so much! RIP Johnny Carson- that was a great interview!
Johnny was so great because he was an excellent listener. No ones come close to him yet.
He was ahead of his time and had great music
"Why do you have to have an excuse to enjoy yourself?" I agree. :D
I'm glad that Boy George isn't one of those dead pop stars
I just saw him in concert last week and thinking how lucky I was that he survived the 80's.
Sean Maher well
a friend who hanged with him died of a OD.........
He's just vaguely obese
@@danielueblacker9118 who?
Good interview, Boy George is a very smart person and Johnny handled the interview with respect and class - a good one.
That was a fun, smart conversation. Could care less about Johnny then (I was 10) but now it's really great to see.
He was so ahead of his time...
@bodeswell35 umm they never said other artists went that way
@bodeswell35 Not to mention Alice Cooper, The New York Dolls, and The Rocky Horror Show .
Through all his flash and flambouyancy the guy can REALLY sing.
It's not about him being a singer it's about the awesome human he is .Where he started and what he went through and where he is going 🙏🥰🌈
Yes! George was and IS the BEST performer. Although......I always did love the way he dressed....... AND his makeup. It just added to his "allure" to me! And.....he iS my favorite singer
Colbert, Fallon, Kimmel and Myers should watch this interview, take notes and learn. This was the end of the non-political objective interview. Carson was the best.
Amen!
I learned from this interview. Carson really lets him talk and he's deeply passionate about trying to understand his point of view.
Amazing interview which just makes Boy George shine and shows us how mature mind he was even at 22. I use to not like him exactly because the way he dress and make up but as soon I listen more from him and about the person behind those things I see a kind lovely person!❤

I always liked Johnny. He was a great interviewer. He treated EVERYBODY with dignity and respect. He and George seemed to get along very well considering they were obviously from different cultures, and a different generation way of thinking. We sure could use a lot more interviewers today that have the same kind of class and kindness that Johnny Carson was always willing to show his guests. ;-) ;-) ;-)
He was sooooo beautiful & his soulful voice!!! Quick wit & charming. 👏👏👏👏😙

I absolutely love Boy George.He is gorgeous, intelligent, free spirited and original. And his voice....breathtaking and angelic. He is purely delightful!
That Liberace comment.... LMAO! I'm 24 and gay, it's amazing seeing him so forward in this time.
Profound words that many people need to really LISTEN to:
"Why do you have to have an excuse to enjoy yourself?"
+Vanessa P ya but looking a certain way has nothing to do with yourself, it is not related to the the single person, dressing up is specifically for other peoples reaction and judgement. He was hiding his need for attention by making up an excuse saying its only for his enjoyment, ya fucking right, it is specifically and intentionally for others and their reactions. Case Closed.
ReliveTheDream He has said in many, many, other interviews that he was "dressing up" years before he was famous. He's been doing it since he was eleven. You don't know him personally, so you can't assume he's doing it for attention. That's like saying dying your hair a different color is for attention. You can dress up, dye your hair, wear makeup, etc. without doing it for attention.
It's like he said...why do Americans have to analyze everyone all the time! He is very talented and I loved him being a part of the diverse World that we live in. I admire that he found his own way and brought something different & unique to our otherwise dull conservative life!
Amen!!! Amen!! Amen!!!
BUT if I can't enjoy myself, why should someone like him be allowed to
I found myself on my knees fervently praying for him in the summer of 1986, I had no idea why.
All I know is God really loves that boy. So do I. ❤️
Anyone here year 2020 I loved Boy George than and today I still love him🥰🥰
So fun to see this again! when I is 19, I flew to LA to see the taping of this show, I can hear myself in the audience, one of the teenybopper screamers!
This is a retake of the first interview with Johnny Carson on the first take Boy was wearing blue jeans and a white T-shirt. Johnny had to do a retake because he was shocked at how tall and big Boy George is.
Charlie Rothwill wow self projection
while we were all in the 1984, Boy George was in 2019
Sylvester James and Divine made it easy for him. Those two did it before Goerge #allfacts
@@rufus317 so,,,? George still had his own UNIQUE twist on it
@Lego Lover that depends on how you want to look at it
@@lessismore8533 Twist on what?
I see comments referencing the current year at the end. It's just totally stupid. yeah. and its 2020 now. (duh) and?
George was then, and further developed, into a really great talker and a great interviewee. Always had a full and relevant and educated answer to many dull questions.
In 1984, I was 12, & I remember watching this with my dad. I am 42 now, and I still crack up laughing when I visualize his reaction/facial expression from when Boy George walked onto the stage. It was a combination of "what the ...." and "Oh my Heavens, what in the world is THAT ?" and when I said (to my dad) "I LOVE him !!", well...my dad shook his head in disbelief, got up out of his chair, & left the room. He's probably thinking "What am I in for? She's not even a teenager yet." LMAO.
Starlene JIviden I think our parents seeing this music emerge was bothersome just like when I saw hip hop start becoming dominant in the early 2000s.
Where were you in my life in 84?
U should have been in bed..was it a school night
Oh Wow lol
I remember him when I was younger not vividly but I totally accepted him when growing up. He wore makeup. Totally fine. And he is still great!!
Johnny let his guests talk.
Wow. Compared to these other "talk show hosts," I didn't realize that I really really miss Johnny :)
Great interview. I watched a documentary narrated by boy George about his life and it was fantastic.
He asked the uncomfortable questions respectfully. I like that. Cause I was always curious how Boy George dealt with all the negativity he'd get. Boy George really is inspirational
I saw him in concert two summers ago and he was so amazing, so full of life, four costume changes, amazing music ♥️♥️
I love Boy George so much! I've been a huge fan of his since 1984! I am so proud to be a fan of his!
Thanks I really appreciate you for being a great fan of mine
@@boygeorge896 I absolutely love & adore you!
What i noticed is that he is very eloquent and he never overthinks a single word.
Watching here in the UK.
George was very rapid in responce and never drew breath once! Interesting interview. He was 22 years old at that time? That was back in the day when interviews were drawn out and guests talked and people listened!
George does come across quite serious. A young man who appears to have had a gut full of fame..
Proud of this man being courageous enough to be himself as part of my generation. And his music is incredible.
My mother couldn't find a sitter and took me to boy George in mid,80s. I remember it well.. people were having a blast
As always, Johnny Carson is a class act!
+Michael Piziak Ain't that the truth.
Off camera Johnny was a big A-HOLE
@Mark Are you getting that from that Joe Namath interview? He didn't say that.
Michael Piziak I miss him!
@@markluis8473 HUMONGOUS!
1980-1984: A fantastic time to be alive. The music was awesome. The world was in turmoil. Nothing new there i suppose. X
How was the world In turmoil? Life was great then!! I was 15 In 1984 & 1984 was the best year out of the entire 80s!! 😊💕
Wow. I clicked on this for Boy George but come away impressed with Johnny Carson. He was such a professional. Light years ahead of any of the new jack talk show hosts.
Carson, as always, is amazing. Boy George is much more than one might think. By the end of the interview I believe everyone was quite impressed with just how together this guy seems, especially for someone who was but 22 years old at the time.
Johnny Carson is being very respectful. It seems like Boy George has a chip on his shoulder.
I believe Boy George is an old soul ❤
Diane Dizayee I think he's just on the defense...
22 , plus suddenly thrust into the spotlight of stardom. That would be a lot to handle.
@@bigrigJim - Absolutely, and lets add to this that he is talking with a person who, at the time, was the most famous person on earth with almost absolute power to help you in your career.
I love his way of thinking. He's right. We should enjoy ourselves more often.
Such a classy interview. JC made Georgie boy comfortable. Notice how George is leaning towards & against JC’s desk?? That’s perfect body language that somebody feels completely comfortable in talking to you. I always read people’s body language, It can help you a lot sometimes.
Boy George is real not these fake asses like today..just be u in life and true and u will NEVER GO WRONG!!!!
agree too much makeup...
....he is a cute guy...and still singing those beautiful songs of his..from beautiful 80s...
Carson, Pure Class!
Best answer ever : why do you have to have an excuse to enjoy yourself , there's nothing wrong with being different....he paved the way
ever notice that back then celebrities were much more honest! these days they are so polictically correct. scared to speak their mind.
Welcome to 5 years later from your comment and its even worse now. Quite disgusting really
Back in those days propaganda was not in.
they talk too much now. He was honest most wee very politically correct in the 80s.
Maybe, but don't forget he was a severe heroin addict so he had his own set of problems.
NO that was just Boy George, that has the backbone
I remember dancing to his music as a teen. I never questioned why he wore make-up, colored his hair or wore the clothes he wore. I heard great music, so I danced. To this day, I smile when I see him because his music is nostalgic and still fills me with joy.
One of the most relaxed and open minded interviews.

Johnny was really great interviewer of stars. He could get them to talk about almost anything. He seemed to put Boy George in a relaxed way because he really said what he thought. I really love his voice. One of the best singers of his generation. Love to watch old interviews of Johnny and his guests.

He was ahead of his time! look at his hair
Yea i agree, it looks like shit;-)
Charlie Rothwill the father of sjw’s.
Bright hair was popular in the 80’s Cyndi Lauper did it also. So were things like spikes and Mohawks. Things people think are new, really aren’t, except perhaps the continuation of the art and better chemicals.
Lucille Ball had that hair
Actually he’s ahead of his time because of his views and way of thinking which very few others did. Not his hair 🙄
I've no doubt if there were more Boy Georges in the world it would be a much more tolerant respectful and loving place to live.
Boy George talks to Johnny Carson truthfully. his comments are as important today as they were than. Love you.. both.
Loved Culture Club then, love Boy George now!!
The thing that gets me is back then no one ever addressed his vocal range the guy is a brilliant vocalist
cruiserweight190 I know. He still sounds great now in 2019 still today but I miss the voice and range he had in his 20s.
OH......YEAH!
Boy George was and still is wonderful... a real genuine role model to other people, helping them decide how they choose to life their life. I thought Johnny was respectful and did a good job. Remember, things were quite different in 1984 then now.
Boy George definitely made the 80's great!
I like boy George Interviews
this man has always been gorgeous and smart. He s had a hard time of it, but he s strong to be back.. he s back with a tour this year. i m so happy for him.and he s still amazing.good for u , Boy George!
He's an amazing singer!
I remember the first time i saw Culture Club on MTV. I fell in love with George and the music . He has a great sense of humor. Carson is an American icon. ❤️❤️great interview.
Great host and really miss Johnny.......tasteful and not tacky....
Boy, oh Boy! You are amazingly beautiful, articulate, and by far, you have strength that not even Odysseus has half of. When one, as yourself is caught between the Scylla and Charybdis, you prevail, and I love all of you for that.
I love Boy George so much he's individual, feisty and unique!!
Andrew Phillips he doesn't apologize for being who he is.
I know he was sick of talking about his appearance, but watching Boy George when I was 8-ish saved me. It was like he gave permission to be myself and screw all of the opinions and judgments of others. I’ve always wanted to hug him for that - and the fact that he is just such a lovely soul.
80s kids saw it as a cartoon character not a lifestyle.
very good interview, Johnny was always easy to talk to because of his open mind and humor, and Boy was a pro.
george has fantastic voice
He had SO amazing soulfull voice, stunning.
WOW I never saw this. I thinks Carson was actually TRYING to be on the side of something different and new. His questions about "will you be accepted" probably sold hundreds-of-thousands more records. THIS WAS A MILESTONE!
He sought to understand - which is one of the greatest qualities any human can have. As opposed to rejecting what he didn't understand, which too many people do
Its true. I think johnny liked his talent
