I was a child at this time but I remember race riots, war protests, an unjust and unpopular war, three major assassinations that changed the history of this country for the worse.

I was a kid when this was on. I'm so grateful to be old enough to have seen all of these exciting, talented performers on tv. How lucky I am!! Good day to you
God, I miss those guys. I’m 66 and I grew up watching them. Legends to say the least. RIP guys, I just wish we could have more. Thanks for the incredible memories.
Too bad Frank was off that night. Out of tune a lot, off the beat a lot, changed lyrics several times. Drunk? Didn't give a damn, I'm Sinatra be honored I'm here.
@@stephencolley334yes, I think ha WAS drunk, having a good time, mabe TOO relaxed… thats why he missed some words and tones. He was havong a good time, being «not so serious». Together with people he liked. AND: The Tonight Show was suposed to be spontanious and relaxed…
I ABSOLUTELY 1,000,000,000% AGREE WITH YOU. I love the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts too. I'm 57 years old and I remember listening to the roasts on the T.V. and my parents laughing their *** off. These days all we are offered are poor excuses for roasts.
The problem is tho that the TV producers of today wouldn't know what sincere intimate conversation is. How could they learn that from never talking to each other and spending their lives texting?
@@pumpkinpuna4087 Did you know Dean's "the lush" routine was completely fabricated? That was iced tea in his glass during his shows. He had one drink a day, before dinner, and that was it!! This is according to his family. He was actually a better actor than he was given credit for~ convincing us all that he was a drunk!! 😍
When do you ever see Johny Carson being so star struck. Such admirable and mutual respect towards these top notch entertainers. Very nice, the likes will not be even closely matched.
This was one of Johnny Carson's best Tonight Show's. Now everybody knows why Sinatra earned the title "Chairman Of The Board." Nobody has done more for people than this man. He was one of a kind. When Don Rickles came on boy does he light up the room.
I remember this night in November of '76. It was the evening of my sister's wedding rehearsal dinner and when we got back from that, I recall watching the Tonight Show with my entire family . My parents were over the moon that Sinatra was on and even though I was just in my 20's and more into rock music, the excitement of that night filtered down to me as well. The older I get, the more I appreciate Sinatra. Thanks, Mom and Dad.
My dad & mom saw him in Brooklyn at the paramount...Wonderful to relive these wonderful interviews saved for every... Thanks for sharing your thoughts, bravo ❤
I remember My Dad and my Mom watching this the Johnny Carson show every single night …..of course Me and my little brother were too young so we got sent to bed…😂school nights and all…..but I remember
I was born in '56. Been thru all the Rock singers etc. If someone asked me the best male singer of the 20th century I would have to say Sinatra hands down. But his style only. His sense of timing is unmatched.
I was probably working 2nd shift with no TV, so I missed a lot of shows when they aired in the 70s. Later, I worked nights and would watch Johnny's monologue then race to work.
I’m a veteran too but I can’t get behind John Wayne or Frank you want to dodge Vietnam I can at least understand.You draft dodge ww2 like those 2 did that’s pathetic only to turn around and play military men.They both aren’t hero’s like Audie Murphy and Ted Williams.
In 1976, I was 15... I think I remember seeing this show at the time but I've certainly seen it before... I recall the Great Sinatra relaxed and himself and also thinking he's lived a full life and is going to retire soon. Great how he helped Dean and Jerry to mend. I myself live a life moved by My Way. Don was always so great with his spontaneous humor. Johnny Carson just rolls along in his interviews. Nice his vocal admiration of Frank. Ed was a great Supporter who didn't try to take the spotlight. May all be at Peace. Thanks for a Great Childhood
I am 67 and was fortunate to have seen Frank Sinatra in Kansas City in the 1980s , I got to see him twice, one time he had Liza Minnelli open for him, I was never a big fan of hers, but she changed my mind, she was great, I mean fantastic, , all the Kansas City mob guys were there, I saw Nick Civella sitting down front, and radio personality Mike Murphy was there, it was a great night for Kansas City, Sinatra was at the end of his career but he was so good, I was also able to see Tony Bennett when he was on tour to support his album of Sinatra songs, he was wonderful, I feel lucky to have seen them, also caught Don Rickles in Las Vegas before he passed, he was so funny, those were the days for me, I loved it
That'll K moment don actually faked kissed on one knee Franks ring. Helped when it was starting to get morose. Frank exiled from the east coast "Frankie goes to Hollywood" his comeback not that faggoty new wave "music" band. But real straight music 🎵
Frank Sinatra OMG I saw him in person in the 70's in Chicago and it was the best show I ever saw, a friend bought the tickets and it was such a great night to see him in the flesh, I was always a fan. When he sang "The Lady is a Tramp" with his adding other words I was 31 years old and I will never ever forget that night I have 5 CD's. Old Blue Eyes the best ever.
Don had a lovely singing voice too which I think Frank knew immediately upon their interactions together. I also think Frank respected the absolute truth of Don and his fearless yet humble and loving nature as a comedian. The balls on this man haha. It’s hard not to love Don…he was as brutal as he was sweet and charming
My mom worked at Universal in NYC in 1950. She met Frank when he was there to view film rushes. He was there for two weeks. A few months later, he gave a floor show in NYC. Mom went to see the show, of course. Frank saw her in the audience and made a beeline to her table after he finished his show. He stood next to her, leaned over and put his hands on the table and asked, "How are you doing?" Mom could smell his cologne. She always cherished that memory.
I was too young to know 1st hand about this. I love Johnny and Frank is #1 with me. His pictorial book is on my coffe table right now. What a wonderful soul.
Sinatra. What an amazing artist and man. Can you think of anyone else today that would walk onto a show and create such excitement and admiration ? No. I can't either. Sheer class never goes out of fashion.
I’m so grateful I was raised in Carson and the greats. We are slowly losing all of our legends and sadly, we have no talent like this that even comes close.
FRANK’s THE GREATEST, zero doubt. I Love the closing, “Where or When” beg.@20:25 - Wow, does that Band KICK🎼🎹🎷🎺 behind him. I am so amazed at the sound recording quality, back in 1976.
One of the finest shows to ever be recorded and all these guys where at the top of there games ! 3 men that r irreplaceable and true professionals and icon’s of there era !
I love the live and raw aspect of these Tonight Show musical performances. Most concert presentations/DVDs/Blu-rays, etc. feature concerts that have gone through heavy post-production including replacing/adjusting instruments and vocal performances. Keep them coming. Heyooo!
Marco Mangonazzo says high 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Rickles almost slips : Barbara Ma.... as in Marx !!! “ can’t you see I’m eatin here Frank” I EF watched it 100s of times and I still crack up ... love ya Frank !!!!
Saw Tony Bennett live when he was in his 80’s with his Daughter opening show, he could sing, even at that age, with a beautiful clear voice! He was so happy performing he gave us extra songs - said he could go on all night for us! Audience was so appreciative!
This shows why Johnny was so good. Is there a single talk show host today that would let someone like Rickles come on and take over? Today's hosts all want to make the show about them rather than the guests.
frank was 61 in this clip. interestingly, he mentions being paid in dimes as a joke. he carried a roll of dimes until the day he died. he was concerned about running out of change whilst talking to his son's kidnappers on a pay phone. in fact, he was also buried with a roll of dimes, a bottle of jack daniel's whiskey, a pack of camel cigarettes, and a zippo lighter.
You are absolutely correct about all of the above luke, as a huge Francis Sinatra admirer I made the trip to Memorial Park in Cathedral City Palms Springs in 2008 to deposit flowers 💐 on his grave on his tenth anniversary. (It’s nice I don’t live too far) I grew up with his music since early childhood, I’m 64 now and I believe I was a fan at age 3. May 14 1998 was such a a sad day the positive impact he had on millions me included, i cried like a baby, a man I never met, yet i felt he was like a dear uncle to me…amazing. PS: I’m planning to visit his grave once again this May, this is his 25 anniversary, I think I’ll leave a small bottle of Jack Daniels a cigarette and some flowers. Love Frank and his music until the end of my days, he was indeed the greatest voice and artist of the 20th century.
It was common for men of this era to carry a roll of dimes because you never knew when you would get into a fist fight. The roll of dimes gave you the advantage over your attacker. My dad was born in New York and he explained to me why he always carried a roll of dimes until the day he died.
Frank is so very relaxed as he always is when he does shows like Johnny Carson. This man can easily sell out Foot Ball Stadiums etc! Thanks Frank for the great times. The music world was so much better with you being there. God bless you sir. And you too Don!!! For crying out loud!
The best singer in the world. Mr. Sinatra, you will never be forgotten . I am 66 years senior and my 31 years old love your music and your singing. We love you Sr.
No one was more famous than Johnny Carson at the time and yet even he was nervous around Frank Sinatra not only because he was famous but he was a knight of Malta.
People were so lucky to be around at this time to see entertainers like Sinatra, Martin and all of the Rat Pack in Vegas. I have been lucky to see many greats in Vegas, but missed these greats. Shalom
This was a time when people had humor, class and style, and were not afraid to be offensive or self-deprecating. It was all in good fun, they knew it and everyone else knew it.
Such Powerful People!!! This episode is on a level of Television Art!!! God bless all these personalities and the memories they leave are like a perfume that does not fade away!!!!
At 58, now I’m almost Frank’s age. He was my mother’s fav. Dean was my dad’s. My grandparents were his age. His albums along with the Mills Brothers, littered their home. I can’t believe where the time went but Frank is still part of us. What an influential individual on our culture, and a great philanthropist. He kicked open doors for so many.
johnny carson was an experience. america was so blessed to have johnny every weeknight for decades when the world was still normal.
You got that right
Normal doesn’t necessarily mean good, it means what’s common. Yes, civility is gone. Greed is good. Vulgarity reigns in culture. Church -going people are now in the minority but there were so many injustices and inequalities in the ‘60s and ‘70s. . I was a child at this time but I remember race riots, war protests, an unjust and unpopular war, three major assassinations that changed the history of this country for the worse. I also remember the All in the Family opening song that waxed nostalgic for”Boy the way Glenn Miller played/ songs that made that hit parade…gee our old LaSalle ran great/ those were the days.” The good old days were only good bc the mind represses the bad for self-preservation.
@@1957es good Ole usually refers to your youth when you weren't necessarily forced to face responsibility. Every gen had their challenges.
I was 7 years old when this episode aired and I believed that these living legends would never die and live forever
I was 9 months old.
Shame I don't remember.
I'm so jealous. Wish we still had talented celebrities.
My gosh. We don’t have any people of this class anymore. There must be one heck of a show in heaven every night. RIP.
So many beautiful voices in this world ❤❤
I cringe whenever watching this show...but I still watch it!...It is just that both Carson and Rickles seem a little bit uptight, a little nervous around Sinatra, who seems to be such a narcissist, and of course, expects people to worship his career. And then there is the shadowy relationship Sinatra had with the Mob! I believe he was feared, because of that connection.
@@curbozerboomer1773That's a lot to read in. Sinatra, was Sinatra. They were both huge fans.

Me too 😢😊❤❤❤❤
Well said!
"The Restaurant Table Story"!
Amerant - happy 50th . 🥃🚬☕👍
Frank grins from ear to ear without stopping as soon as Don comes out. So sweet.
God, I miss those guys. I’m 66 and I grew up watching them. Legends to say the least. RIP guys, I just wish we could have more. Thanks for the incredible memories.
Me too born in 58 and loved these guys they were special like no others😊
So jealous of you. I have to live through now and you guys got this.
30 years of Johnny wasn't enough. Never been quite the same since he bowed out in 1993.
Sorry to have to correct you, but Johnny Carson retired May 1992. You were pretty close though!
@@scook5599 It was his 30th year.
@scook5599, yep, you're right. I didn't look it up, just went on knowing that it was 30 years, but thought he had started in early '63, not late '62.
You’re goddamn right
@@scook5599 May 22, 1992. That was the night I graduated med school. We all huddled around the tvs to watch the final show
This is the epitome of why THE Carson Tonight Show will never be duplicated or outdone.
Johnny was the bar that everyone else was measured by.
I agree.
Amen! He was the GOAT!!
Dick Cavett was pretty good too
Still is.
I absolutely agree
Watching Carson and all this REAL STARS,it feels like we are not in the same planet anymore.
One of the GREATEST moments in The Tonight Show's history! Don and Frank were amazing!
Frank cutout the lyric about singing some rock and roll that's because Frank did not like rock and roll.
Too bad Frank was off that night. Out of tune a lot, off the beat a lot, changed lyrics several times. Drunk? Didn't give a damn, I'm Sinatra be honored I'm here.
@@stephencolley334yes, I think ha WAS drunk, having a good time, mabe TOO relaxed… thats why he missed some words and tones. He was havong a good time, being «not so serious». Together with people he liked. AND: The Tonight Show was suposed to be spontanious and relaxed…
Three of my least favorite personalities
One of my top ten clips of this show.
We need another Johnny Carson.
NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN . WHEN BIDEN GOT ELECTED THE COUNTRY IS GONE.
Oh Frank you’re Awesome 🥰
We could only be so lucky!
Those days are gone
@Yahniboy sadly, long gone.
Wow, what a great show. We need a show like this again. No games. No car pool karaoke. Just sincere intimate conversations.
I ABSOLUTELY 1,000,000,000% AGREE WITH YOU. I love the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts too. I'm 57 years old and I remember listening to the roasts on the T.V. and my parents laughing their *** off. These days all we are offered are poor excuses for roasts.

Today's late night talk shows are nothing but garbage and Trash talking.
And leering at women’s breasts.

When do you ever see Johny Carson being so star struck. Such admirable and mutual respect towards these top notch entertainers. Very nice, the likes will not be even closely matched.
Mr. Carson had a way of introducing a guest that made it special. When he payed a compliment, or gave a hug, he meant it.

I was born in '56. Been thru all the Rock singers etc. If someone asked me the best male singer of the 20th century I would have to say Sinatra hands down. But his style only. His sense of timing is unmatched.
I was going to say the same thing. Born in '56, raised on the Beatles. Sinatra was before my time. But I could listen to him all day.
I love frank and I was born in 56 also. But I'd have a hard time picking between Dean and Frank and Tony Bennett
Not even close!!! Elvis was the greatest singer ever!!
Oh who knows where or when there will ever be a great singer like Frank Sinatra again ❤
I was probably working 2nd shift with no TV, so I missed a lot of shows when they aired in the 70s. Later, I worked nights and would watch Johnny's monologue then race to work.
Frank's demeanor completely changes once Rickles comes out. He can't stop smiling at Don.
Well, they TRULY loved one another.
A genuine and true friendship. They loved each other very much. I hope Frank was waiting for him at the gates when Don left this world
He found a different type of Friend , other than Dean
Three titans sitting together. It will never be that much influence again in Hollywood.
I am a retired old Marine Corps veteran, but Frank Sinatra still moves me in ways NO other performer can. Holy cow.
Thanks for your service Devil Dog. OS1 USN Retired here...
Frank was and is the greatest!
ofcourse...years of experience in moving bodies
No one can put over a song the way he could.
I’m a veteran too but I can’t get behind John Wayne or Frank you want to dodge Vietnam I can at least understand.You draft dodge ww2 like those 2 did that’s pathetic only to turn around and play military men.They both aren’t hero’s like Audie Murphy and Ted Williams.
There will never be another tonight show like this ever! Carson can never be replaced. Sinatra and Rickles together. Wow!!
SINATRA WAS ONE OF A KIND, NEVER GETS OLD, HIS MUSIC WILL LIVE FOREVER...
Frank lived another 22 years and Don another 40. What an amazing walk into a time machine watching this.

K moment don actually faked kissed on one knee Franks ring. Helped when it was starting to get morose. Frank exiled from the east coast "Frankie goes to Hollywood" his comeback not that faggoty new wave "music" band. But real straight music 🎵
Even with work the next day, I gad to stay up and watch Johnny each night. A nice way to end the day.

Frank and Johnny two talents sorely missed
Rickles too
Johnny referring to Rickles; "He should be scared with that act." Why Johnny is the best.
The level and the quality of the music! Just amazing! Almost 50 years later!!! This is timeless!!!
It’s so great to see these three gods interacting together. There is no competition between them. You can tell they genuinely love each other.

Yes I can. Elvis Presley has no equal Sinatra belongs to an old old …. Yesterday!
I said can you think of anyone TODAY. Unless you have found Elvis alive and well somewhere to make an appearance today ?
Michael Jackson the best entertainment man that ever lived
Frank, Elvis, and as a group the Beatles!!

Bambino Boombonzo says hi too.
One of my favorites. Don made a cottage industry mocking Frank's mob ties.
"Fambino Bumbatso, 2 bullets in the head, Thursday." I almost wet myself!!!!!!
Very few singers could be actors as well. Frank was a rare breed indeed. A show like this will never be repeated again, I sure miss the old days...
I remember this episode. Man, I'm OLD! 😅
Saw Tony Bennett live when he was in his 80’s with his Daughter opening show, he could sing, even at that age, with a beautiful clear voice! He was so happy performing he gave us extra songs - said he could go on all night for us! Audience was so appreciative!
Johnny the best.........his voice and talent I miss him!.........from New York thanks for the memories.
This show never gets old
This shows why Johnny was so good. Is there a single talk show host today that would let someone like Rickles come on and take over? Today's hosts all want to make the show about them rather than the guests.
I am too young to have seen him live but this man’s voice is timeless none of todays musicians can hold a candle to him especially in voice
I love how guests could just drop in and hang out.
There are no shows like this anymore! Stars like Sinatra don't exist anymore!
The restaurant story with Don Rickles, that was hilarious.
Always the best musicians at Johnny Carter Show. Listening from Austria...

No one was more famous than Johnny Carson at the time and yet even he was nervous around Frank Sinatra not only because he was famous but he was a knight of Malta.
seeing Don Rickles somehow reminded me of Robin Williams, LEGENDS
Jeff Dunham and Walter are Rickles
I loved still love Frank Sinatra !
People were so lucky to be around at this time to see entertainers like Sinatra, Martin and all of the Rat Pack in Vegas. I have been lucky to see many greats in Vegas, but missed these greats. Shalom
True talent…oh to live in that time frame again
They just don't make 'em like this anymore. ❤
Sinatra with Don at Carson's ❤ what a night!
The world was a happier place back than. I miss it everyday.
Legend...see swag. Sinatra led the industry with class and dignity ...fought for the maligned and gave the people what they wanted.
I loved Carson watched all the time …as a kid …Rickles ..Sinatra …(Joan Rivers was the female Don Rickles ) those were the days !!!! 💕
I TRULY LOVE FRANK SINATRA ..IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING MY FAVORITE!! GOD BLESS
This was a time when people had humor, class and style, and were not afraid to be offensive or self-deprecating. It was all in good fun, they knew it and everyone else knew it.
Im sure ive watched this a hundred times and still laugh every time ..Sinatra and Rickles ..once in a life time Carson show ..God Bless .
Such Powerful People!!! This episode is on a level of Television Art!!! God bless all these personalities and the memories they leave are like a perfume that does not fade away!!!!
My God , I miss that man!! Awesome!
At 58, now I’m almost Frank’s age. He was my mother’s fav. Dean was my dad’s. My grandparents were his age. His albums along with the Mills Brothers, littered their home.
I can’t believe where the time went but Frank is still part of us. What an influential individual on our culture, and a great philanthropist. He kicked open doors for so many.
He also kicked many in the face!...A flawed genius of an entertainer, for sure.
21:08 was just a demonstration to the future generations that he was singing for real, even his voice was sounding so perfect.
