Yes 100%! I grew up hoping I would be allowed to stay up late enough to watch the JC show on the weekends. I was a young adult when Leno took over. That was like the nail in the coffin that began when Akroyd and the rest of the original players gradually left SNL. The loss of Carson on TTS and the SNL cast as a troupe was the end of an era. And yes, we knew it then. TV did have some good points: in those days, you were forced to to go to sleep at least by 2 AM because there wasn’t anything on the TV-as in nothing was being broadcast…at all. Now, the world never stops; we don’t seem to be able to get a minute of rest unless we wrestle it from society. … as I sit here typing this on my phone at 10:58 PM local time after driving an hour home and working from 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM today with only about 45 minutes total break time🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Geez, I glues I should go outside and touch grass!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Johnny Carson is the reason I’m sleep deprived to this very day. I can still hear my mother, go to bed you have school tomorrow go to bed go to bed! I’m 72 years old now still sleep deprived.
@@wms72 - Steve Allen was more of a comedian than Carson. I loved his show. He was silly. The beginning of the late night “Tonight Show”, was 1950 with Mory Amsterdam. Then Jerry Lester….Jack Paar….Ernie Kovacs… but Carson stole the show….he was the best. The others were short lived, basically, Carson lasted 30 years and probably could have lasted longer…..people didn’t want to see him go…..but he was ready to retire. I’ve said TV died when he retired.
Johnny was the best "entertainer" ever!! He could take any situation and make you laugh. The present "late night hosts" do not come close to Johnny's abilities. I watch his reruns every night and love them. Miss and love you Johnny!
He was the best! I had the same kind of parakeet and he spoke full snestinces and mimicked exactly my laugh. Parakeets are in the Guiness Book of world records for 2000 vocabulary.
Carson was a master of making comedy without humiliating his guests. I miss his program. I am glad I grew up during the Carson years. It makes me appreciate what crap we have on television now and I don't waste my time in front of the TV.
Now-a-days they have very little comic genius in good clean fun for us to watch. Tell me who can compete with stars that were in comedy, today and I will watch them ?
Sadly, if Johnny was still live today at 97 and healthy, sponsors would not tolerate him because he wouldn't pass the politically correct smell test. He'd be torn to shreds. 😢
Johnny Carson is priceless. He was so great with animals. He has been peed on, hair pulled & hit by guest animals. And he laughed right along with everyone. I wish I could have seen his show when he was filming.
No kidding he was the best of all talk show hosts! Handsome, acres of personality, personable-and never at a loss for words. He set the bar and though many have been great since, none has been as great as Johnny!
His personal life was a mess. He was pathologically shy and insecure, believe it or not. In all the time he was on the Tonight Show he only had dinner with Ed McMahon twice. They never socialized. He had very few really close friends -though Carl Sagan was one, and may have been chronically clinically depressed. I absolutely loved him. I thought he was one of the funniest smartest guys ever.
Well how could it be the same? Why should it be the same. TV is a reflection of culture and as much as I like Carson (free on Pluto) I like Jimmy Fallon and Graham Norton
The one time Johnny actually had a talking bird on his show it was a mynah bird, and it was hilariously good! Johnny exclaimed with relief, "We've got a winner!" I believe Johnny later asked it after prompting from a list of the words the bird could say, "How does the wolf go?" and the bird promptly gave out with the well-known, two-note wolf whistle! The audience broke up in laughter, and Johnny had a shocked look on his face hearing an accurate imitation of what a man does in seeing a pretty woman pass close by!
I love Johnny Carson, and my grandfather always reminded me of each other. I miss them both terribly. I always loved the animal shows, especially when Joan Embry would come on.
Johnny Carson - the Gold Standard of late night talk show hosts. Nobody has ever come close to him. He was an equal-opportunity teaser, had incredible comedic timing and an amazing ability to improvise. All the while he was kind and considerate, and showed the world that he had a heart. There was no meanness in him, and as an audience member I never got the feeling that he took me or anyone else watching for granted. He is greatly missed.
Quite a few celebrities would disagree with you-he could be very mean-spirited (Wayne Newman, Raymond Burr, Joan Rivers-to name a few). Still-the best late night show host ever.
Johnny Carson was great, but he was known in the industry for being a mean drunk & holding grudges. He had four wives. But Johnny had an easy charm on TV & impeccable timing. The difference is that we had politicians that were statesmen, & not divisive hate mongers like Trump.
@@unknowntv6909 There's a lot of celebrities who are first class jerks. Some I wouldn't walk across the street to spit on. I won't deny Burt Lancaster was a good actor but a very egotistical rude jerk. Bitch Milder, a good voice but a real rude snob. Should have went off on her. Jerry Lewis was also very rude. Now John Wayne has never forgotten where he came from & was all to aware that he had the public to thank in part for his success. The rest was all the Duke. And he's just as sweet & kind in person, a real gentleman. Before he died he told his son Michael, if you use my name for anything, use it for the good of the people. Because if not for them, we wouldn't be living the kind of life we've been living.
I’ve had several parakeets throughout my life. They are so sweet and smart. And yes, they will talk (mimic) when you spend enough time with them. There’s something about their little flat faces that’s precious.
Johnny was an incredible entertainer, and everyone loved him! He had the sharpest wit, and comebacks of any entertainer in the industry! It is so sad that he passed prematurely, due to those stinking cigarettes! He was loved by the world!
Carson was often at his best when everything was going to hell......This may not have been one of those times. Carson.....Always a wit and a class act. And, very much missed.
Bob Sullivan Besides all the laughs with celebrities, I loved when Jack Hannah brought animals on the show. Some Johnny was afraid of which was funny or when one would be climbing all over him. Carson was game for anything.
@@wandawelsh9928 Jack Hannah appeared on David Letterman, not Johnny Carson. It was Jim Fowler and Joan Embry who typically brought animals on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
He could sing, dance, perform magic, and played drums very well. But nothing compared to his quick wit! Genius! And the shows with the walk on's, classic!
I still find him the funniest guy ever - a simple comment has me in stitches. I wish the old shows with him as the host would be shown again - he had the absolutely best comments ever. I really miss him and his show - none can compare to him..
Johnny Carson was an Amazing Star of late night comedy. And he was always Respectful of his Audience & Guests regardless of their political views ... and NEVER tried to Destroy anyone. America truly misses this great man. Not even one "comedian" has even come close ... ever. Thank You Johnny. .. you are truly the GREATEST. Late night has NEVER been the same. You are truly missed.
Johnny was there to entertain the audience, he took pride in succeeding, he loved it and it showed. With his successors, it seems like their show is interrupting their chat with their financial advisors. But it's like one of those successors said, when Johnny left he took the show with him
Sad that some of these shows are now political soap boxes to the host to spout their views. Not the time or place. Quit Watching after Johnny left. Award shows are the same.
Absolutely the best. Looked forward at the end of our work day to watch the The Tonight Show. Our day wasn't complete without watching Johnny. Loved him.
Parakeets/Budgies are actually quite easy to train and learn words very well. I've had several and each of them had the gift of gab. They are funny little things, too. Very entertaining.
This brought tears to my eyes remembering Johnny & reading 📖 everyone’s love ❤️ & admiration for Johnny Carson brought tears to my eyes & my heart. All of us who’ve watch Johnny Carson’s Late Night Talk Show every night I’ll definitely feel as I do about him…missed terribly & totally will never forget him & his way of make us feel feel good about watching such a wonderful man & get to know his amazing personality & wonderful way of entertaining his audience. He allowed all of us to get to know himself. Rest in Peace Johnny Carson Camille G.
@Dar Johnny even like Jay Leno did not believe that comedians were there to be political narrators like Jimmy Kimmel. Johnny's midwestern roots came thru since he felt as much at ease with a regular guest as a Hollywood star. I can't remember what were the exact numbers but the number of Americans who watched Johnny Carson were well more than all three of the late-night "comedians" and most of these guys really are not that funny.
Watched him from a very young age in 1978 to when he had his last and I cried 😢....such beautiful memories watching with my grandparents. My Grandpa would sit smoking his pipe in his recliner and I'd toss a blanket on the floor next to his chair and laugh with him. We'd have our strawberry ice cream or vanilla with fresh peaches on summer nights...oh ,those were the days...
I remember working the swing shift after a hard day at the hospital. Turned Johnny on, and laughed until I cried.🤣 like when the marmaset peed on Johnnys head….miss you Mr Carson!!
Why not just produce reruns of his show over the next 30 years rather than the late night Host now? Timeless. Honestly, I don't even know which one it is.
You are a Legend Johnny! There is no one who can fill your shoes. Late Night talk shows just aren't the same without you. I'd rather watch old clips of you, especially with animals those were the best, than any of the crap they have on today. I don't watch them anymore.
Johnny will always be the undisputed King of Late Night Comedy. He knows how to talk to people and make the best out of any situation. We truly miss him.
I remember watching Johnny on the Tonight Show in the late '80's early '90's and with a little channel surfing, the night would go TTS, Night Court, and Quantum Leap. What a great line up. To quote Bryan Adams, those were the best days of my life. Of course, not just because of what was on the tv, but it definitely added to it.
I’m sitting here watching & the recordings bought me back! The Guest with the parakeet had me laughing so loud in my hotel room! That Bird was no dummy he wanted to him in the Audience
He wasn’t afraid of any human! I also thought the woman guest was a riot the way she said she would pull his tail feathers! Whoops she slipped on National TV saying that! She Loved That handsome boy! She would never hurt him! That bird liked Ed McMann ole ex Marine! Yes we all miss their Greatness!
Alice - yes there were a lot of comedians like that back in the day. Just like Jackie Gleason. You could watch the Honeymooners with the sound off and still laugh your ass off at Gleason's antics and faces!🤣😂😅
Agreed, he is missed, his show was entertainment with nominal political propaganda disguised as comedy, which is all today's shows are, nothing but propaganda tools. And while he was adult in his innuendo, never vulgar.
Johnny Carson had the best night show. I miss him so much. I watched him every night with my dad at 11 pm. No late night shows will ever be as good at Johnny. Rest I Peace always and you are greatly missed.🦋🦋🙏🙏💙💙😇😇
Johnny was the perfect host...funny, interesting, polite, and he had taken some Nebraska with him when he left that state. He liked people, and seemed to really enjoy talking with elderly people who were age 100 or older, and people over age 80 who were doing things unusual for their age. Like the 84 year old woman who was in college, and someone over age 80 who skydived.
Even though the little guy didn't "talk", Johnny had the ability to turn the appearance into a most entertaining segment! Quite the improv king, was Johnny! Miss the show! 👌👍👏👏
I miss him. None of the others taking his place, came close. There will never be anyone like him.,Funniest, classiest, talk show host ever. We miss you Johnny.
I really thought that parakeet might have said something. Johnny always comes through in the worst spots and fails, making people laugh no matter what. He was the BEST host 💖 He's in heaven now making the angels laugh too!
Johnny Carson was in a class of his own, no one can come close, all others are complete dissapoinyments. The Tonight show died when Johnny Carson left it, he took it with him when he left.
I had always thought he might come back, I kept checking. It was something you looked forward to, you might not laughed or even smiled that day but Johnny made sure you would before you went to bed, I miss him so much
@@MichaelLee-dt1iw He truly was!! What made him so great was how he ENGAGED his guests rather than try to "upstage" them in some way--(which pretty much all the new talk show hosts a la Jimmy Kimmel try to do.)
My name is Joyce Anthony. My dad used to watch Johnny in the sixties when I was little (and in my bedroom) and I'd hear him laughing hysterically. RIP Dad. RIP Johnny Carson
Children love to see their parents happy it is very reassuring for them and very scary when they fight we need to remember through the eyes of our own childhood.
He was a pro at that. So many of the animals he had on did things that Carson turned into hysterical moments. That deadpan stare into the camera got me every single time. He was amazing.
Yes, he'd make a couple of political jokes during his monologue - in good fun - and then make us laugh. He wasn't trying to prove to anyone how progressive and enlightened he was. No moral posturing for Carson. Of course, if he did that today he'd be denounced for not being political, not caring, and having "white privilege" or some such nonsense. These are silly times, aren't they?
No, Carson never got political. Except when he did. I guess you didn't watch his show every night:)) ua-cam.com/video/y21RudiPoC0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/o1pvClN5byM/v-deo.html
Carson was NEVER humiliated. Whatever went wrong he turned it into comedy. 😂
Johnny's timing is impeccable.
Johnny being annoyed by the bird was funnier than anything the bird could have done. He was hilarious😂
😂 best talk show host ever!
Often Imitated, Never Duplicated. He simply was just the BEST. There really are no words to say how GREAT Johnny Carson & The Crew were.
He was funnier with a simple look than most hosts are with the best jokes.
Over 4 million views. That speaks volumes. He was and always will be the King of Late Night talk shows. RIP Johnny. You are missed .
It speaks more than the bird did!😂
I agree
If you're 50+
Yes 100%! I grew up hoping I would be allowed to stay up late enough to watch the JC show on the weekends.

4 million because there were only 3 networks. Do your math before espousing uneducated statistics.
I love that we can watch these on UA-cam. Johnny was a king.
Oh, contraire: Johnny was/is the King!
This is why this show was so fun to watch. We miss you Johnny!
Omg I miss this type of late night humor, it was worth staying up for because you knew you'd get a belly laugh.
"He's bilingual. He can't speak anything in two languages."
Classic
😂🤣😂❣️❣️❣️
Thank you for stating what clearly needed to be said
Johnny’s animal segments were the best. He was the master of the late night talk shows. No one could touch him then or now.
Johnny's quick wit and facial expressions were priceless! 😁✌🏾❤️
THE LOOKS THAT JOHNNY CAME UP WITH WHEN SOMETHING DIDN'T GO AS PLANED MADE THE WHOLE SHOW !!!!
He learned a lot of that from Jack Benny, who was his hero.
ORKY CATHCART - 🙏 AMEN 🙏
There will never be a late show even half as good as Johnny Carson . He was the king
yes
Johnny Carson is the reason I’m sleep deprived to this very day. I can still hear my mother, go to bed you have school tomorrow go to bed go to bed! I’m 72 years old now still sleep deprived.
You got that right.
Totally agree!!
Bird just didn't want to talk like Johnny said. The lights and then all the people
1:55 the bird flies off and Carson's reaction is pure lol
I loved his show! The world could use more shows like his.
The world could use even one show like this. What's left of it.
Johnny was hysterical, even with one look or raising his eyebrow. He had a way of making people feel happy.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Johnny Carson was a master of comedic timing.
those looks at the camera. Killer stuff without saying a single word.
Carson was one of a kind! None of the subsequent late night hosts even come close to his level of talent and comedy!
Carson never got nasty political.
Carson was not up to the level of Steve Allen, the originator of the Tonight Show.

@@HealthyandLovingLife Agreed. Punching up in comedy is funnier and takes more effort and talent than punching down.
Sadly, if Johnny was still live today at 97 and healthy, sponsors would not tolerate him because he wouldn't pass the politically correct smell test. He'd be torn to shreds. 😢

Johnny was the best! Always funny! I'm young enough to have watched him for years!!!

I remember working the swing shift after a hard day at the hospital. Turned Johnny on, and laughed until I cried.🤣 like when the marmaset peed on Johnnys head….miss you Mr Carson!!
That was a classic!! Lol!
Why not just produce reruns of his show over the next 30 years rather than the late night Host now? Timeless. Honestly, I don't even know which one it is.
They recently started showing it on a cable channel. Do a search
They show reruns of his show on a channel called AntennaTV.
I miss Johnny Carson. He was hilarious.
You are a Legend Johnny! There is no one who can fill your shoes. Late Night talk shows just aren't the same without you. I'd rather watch old clips of you, especially with animals those were the best, than any of the crap they have on today. I don't watch them anymore.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Johnny was simply the best.
I'd forgotten what a really funny late night host was like....
I miss Johnny Carson! What a great personality!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 God, I miss Johnny lol! So glad I got to grow up watching him 🥰
Johnny Carson was the best. There was a reason they called him the "King of Late Night" and nobody else has been able to gain that crown ever since.
Johnny will always be the undisputed King of Late Night Comedy. He knows how to talk to people and make the best out of any situation. We truly miss him.
I remember watching Johnny on the Tonight Show in the late '80's early '90's and with a little channel surfing, the night would go TTS, Night Court, and Quantum Leap. What a great line up. To quote Bryan Adams, those were the best days of my life. Of course, not just because of what was on the tv, but it definitely added to it.
I miss him too, just a look from him could crack me up!
I’m sitting here watching & the recordings bought me back! The Guest with the parakeet had me laughing so loud in my hotel room! That Bird was no dummy he wanted to him in the Audience
He wasn’t afraid of any human! I also thought the woman guest was a riot the way she said she would pull his tail feathers! Whoops she slipped on National TV saying that! She Loved That handsome boy! She would never hurt him! That bird liked Ed McMann ole ex Marine! Yes we all miss their Greatness!
Alice - yes there were a lot of comedians like that back in the day. Just like Jackie Gleason. You could watch the Honeymooners with the sound off and still laugh your ass off at Gleason's antics and faces!🤣😂😅
Late night has never been the same without Johnny, not even close. Rest in peace, Mr Carson, and thanks for so much entertainment for all those years.
Agreed, he is missed, his show was entertainment with nominal political propaganda disguised as comedy, which is all today's shows are, nothing but propaganda tools. And while he was adult in his innuendo, never vulgar.
he was the best but Letterman was not far behind...
@@claudev6708 Letterman was just ok compared to Johnny, but compared to the host of today, he was brilliant, too.
Johnny Carson had the best night show. I miss him so much. I watched him every night with my dad at 11 pm. No late night shows will ever be as good at Johnny. Rest I Peace always and you are greatly missed.🦋🦋🙏🙏💙💙😇😇
Johnny was the perfect host...funny, interesting, polite, and he had taken some Nebraska with him when he left that state. He liked people, and seemed to really enjoy talking with elderly people who were age 100 or older, and people over age 80 who were doing things unusual for their age. Like the 84 year old woman who was in college, and someone over age 80 who skydived.
The caption says Watch Carson get humiliated by talking parakeet. No he wasn't. He knew all along it would NOT talk. They never do!!!
My parakeet Elvis will chatter his little butt off but when someone new is at our house he is quiet as a mouse 🤣
Even though the little guy didn't "talk", Johnny had the ability to turn the appearance into a most entertaining segment! Quite the improv king, was Johnny! Miss the show! 👌👍👏👏
“ we’re going to do the Declaration of Independence.“
@@sallymj8957 Yep! Such a witty comeback king! 👍😂😂
I enjoyed that 'failed segment' more than most of the 'successful' ones of today.
@@oakleysierney1918 I agree! Johnny is in a class by himself, although. Conan comes close. The others...not so much! 😁
@@oakleysierney1918 You nailed it, SPOT ON!
Love Jonny Carson ! Had the privilege to be in the audience 2 times.
I miss him. None of the others taking his place, came close. There will never be anyone like him.,Funniest, classiest, talk show host ever. We miss you Johnny.
I really thought that parakeet might have said something. Johnny always comes through in the worst spots and fails, making people laugh no matter what. He was the BEST host 💖 He's in heaven now making the angels laugh too!
Golly, this is so Johnny perfect. A masterclass in entertaining. And wicked wit.
Seeing this just now makes me want to watch lots more old Carson clips.
Making smiles and laughs out of nothing, great talent
I Love Johnny, miss him and wish he were still alive so I could tell him.
Johnny Carson was in a class of his own, no one can come close, all others are complete dissapoinyments. The Tonight show died when Johnny Carson left it, he took it with him when he left.
I had always thought he might come back, I kept checking. It was something you looked forward to, you might not laughed or even smiled that day but Johnny made sure you would before you went to bed, I miss him so much
Carson like no one else could make gold when things go wrong. Hysterical - I miss him a lot.
Me too
The absolute master. There will never be another.
He was a true entertainer. Genuinely funny.
I'll never forget the time he thru the tomahawk at the silhouette target and hit it in the groin
@@MichaelLee-dt1iw He truly was!! What made him so great was how he ENGAGED his guests rather than try to "upstage" them in some way--(which pretty much all the new talk show hosts a la Jimmy Kimmel try to do.)
My name is Joyce Anthony. My dad used to watch Johnny in the sixties when I was little (and in my bedroom) and I'd hear him laughing hysterically. RIP Dad. RIP Johnny Carson
Awesome memory, cheers 😀
I understand.
My dad too loved comedy and that gives me many happy memories now he is no longer with us.
He sure made me laugh this morning 8/4/19. Thanks Johnny
I really needed that❤!
Children love to see their parents happy it is very reassuring for them and very scary when they fight
we need to remember through the eyes of our own childhood.
Sure do miss the real tonight show with Johnny Carson. A real classy show it was.
This is still more entertaining than any late night tv show out there now.
The look on Johnnys face when the bird flies away is priceless.
I laughed my ass off when that bird darted.
He was a pro at that. So many of the animals he had on did things that Carson turned into hysterical moments. That deadpan stare into the camera got me every single time. He was amazing.
He borrowed that blank stare from Jack Benny.

Definitely 😂
Johnny’s expressions were priceless.
Hello Patricia, How are you doing?
The legend. He keeps making me laugh year after year......always brings back good memories with my pop
So funny! Johnny was such a class act! ❤
Only Johnny can make humor out of nothing. He was and will always be the best.
Nancy Valente out of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! And he takes us with him! Lolol
actually funnier than if the bird had talked
The look on Johnny's face when the bird flies away!
Epic...
Imagine a talk show host that keeps politics to himself..how original.
Yes, he'd make a couple of political jokes during his monologue - in good fun - and then make us laugh. He wasn't trying to prove to anyone how progressive and enlightened he was. No moral posturing for Carson. Of course, if he did that today he'd be denounced for not being political, not caring, and having "white privilege" or some such nonsense. These are silly times, aren't they?
John Gerard Griffith were you trying to sound intelligent? Because this sounds like dialogue from a sandbox
jllrue Why don’t you just stop talking period!
No, Carson never got political. Except when he did. I guess you didn't watch his show every night:))
