  • I was sure someone would have uploaded this by now, but it looks like no one has yet.
    Art had been on Dave's Late Night ten times before his first Tonight Show appearance in January 1990, so the TS bookers decided to get on the bandwagon.
    This was Art's second guest appearance on Johnny, and it was notable at the time for certain words that the censors evidently allowed to slip through.

    Art is so naturally funny and charismatic - just imagine if he had writers and an agent-he could have been big in entertainment. As it stands, he was one of the best talk show guests ever.

    4:34 It sounds like they may have edited “Jesus!” into “Geez!” by dubbing in laughter over the second syllable, which makes the lack of bleeping for the other words even stranger.

    • @adamnedeff3102
      @adamnedeff3102 10 місяців тому +2

      The censors likely didn't miss it. "The Tonight Show" taped from 5:30 to 6:30 pm in Burbank--9:30 pm in the Eastern time zone. So if any editing had to be done, they had two hours to do it before the show went on the air. And in those days, editing was still a very slow, time-consuming process. So it was more of a matter of the editing team looking at the clock and saying "the hell with it" and just airing the show as-is in the Eastern time zone. (11:30 pm is part of what the FCC declares "safe haven time" and they actually don't enforce any restrictions at that hour; any bleeping or censoring at that time of night on network television is just done as a courtesy to the sponsors, more than anything.)

    Hey Don, you know how Dave was a big Reds fan, right? Do you know when he talked about thier old anmouncer Joe Nuxhall who would sign off by saying "this is the Old Lefthander rounding third and heading for home"
    I know i heard Dave say that before and im wondering if he referenced it multiple times or if i just happened to see it the one time
    Could have been Clooney or Sarah Jessica Parker since they are both from the Cincinnati area

    • @dongiller

      I found one show when he used that line - at the end of October 12, 1994: “So until tomorrow night, from Riverfront Stadium and this is the old lefthander rounding third and heading home for now. Good night, everybody!”
      Nice catch. :)
