Johnny could do more with a deadpan expression than most comics with an entire staff of writers. Bravo, Johnny.
AGREED. HE IS MISSED ONE OF A KIND
He got that deadpan look from Jack Benny. one Legend learning from another one
@@bruceburford2209 That makes Total sense ! My grandma Adored Jack Benny. 👍😎
The Benny silent bewildered look was great. I think he did it in his radio days followed by a loud "Well!". Transitioned excellently into television with or without the "Well" or "Fine!"
I think Johnny was interviewing golf great Arnold Palmer and his wife. Carson asked Arnold's wife what she did prior to a tournament to wish Arnold luck. She responded, "I kiss his (golf) balls for him", to which Carson quipped, "I bet that straightens his putter"!
She's gross as hell imparting that she's raised her son to talk sleazily to his own mother.
Moments like this are why Johnny was and will forever be the king of late-night TV.
Yep absolute goat, no one comes close to him. He was the King.
Carson's over rated. Cavett much better. Didn't pander.
@@windstorm1000 well everyone is entitled to their opinion no matter what, even flat earthers.
I'm just trying to decide which is a worse take, the opinion you just expressed or someone telling me the Earth is flat...close call.
Cavett? Seriously? I mean sure, if you're having trouble getting to sleep I could see putting Dick on but otherwise...
@@windstorm1000 Cavett was better, to fall asleep to.
The way he just pauses, letting people laugh, heightens the comedy here. He doesn't jump in with a comment right away. He was a genius regarding comedic timing.
His facial reaction is hysterical! One of the very few times in his career where I don't think he knew what to do or say.
Johnny always let who ever guest he had shine. He never tried to upstage anyone. He always let them be the star of the show. He never interrupted his guest when they were on a role. To this day no one can do better.
No one has ever done it better than Carson.
That was absolutely Carson’s genius. What’s even more fascinating about him is that he was genuinely an A-list celebrity in his own right. Johnny was one of the biggest-if not THE biggest-name in television for 25 years.
But whether you were Jane Fonda or a woman who collected potato chips that happened to look like celebrities, when you were there he tried to make YOU the focus.
He's good but cavett better.
That is what I do not like about today's late night hosts. All of them (try to) make themselves out to be the star of the show when they are just the host. Talk shows, late night or daytime, should always be about the guest.
This clip has to go down as the GREATEST moment in late-night TV history, This is why Johnny Carson made the BIG bucks.
Johnny was so inviting. I miss him like I miss my old puppy dog. What a wonderful man that brought so much joy to so many people for decades!
CLASS ACT NOT PERFECT BUT WHO IS.....RIP
One of the funniest moments in television history.
It might be one of the best lines ever uttered on TV.
@@titusmccarthy - Care to wager? I have a Best of Carson tape that has it.
justafanintexas no you don’t lol
@@justafanintexas7913 I'll take that bet. Post it to your channel.
@@ShaunRF - $25,000 and no less. I've won this every time just so you've been warned.
@@justafanintexas7913 Ok, post the video to your channel.
One of the funniest (90 second) spots in late night T.V. history ! 😂
Watch Jane's face while she's setting Johnny up and after everybody starts laughing.
She knew how naughty she was.
“… you want to pet my pussy…”, Jane’s said it without getting embarrassed, she must be on drugs to control her nerves.
Johnny Carson did as much with silence as anyone...
He learned from the best; his idol was Jack Benny...
wish fallon would take a page from it lol
@@moimeme6533 wish falan would take a hike.
A big part of what made Carson the best was his facial reactions to different situations, like this question. The blank stares, "deer in the headlights" look, etc. Classic.
Johnny learned that from Jack Benny.
I wish Carson could have taught the human race the art of silence, and not just in comedy
@@brianwilliams5662 How about the art of when you are the host any laugh your guest gets makes you look good ! That got lost on Boomers 7 Gen xers for awhile !
He'd be hard to trip up on the witness stand
@@KDoyle4 Jack Benny was the master of that.
Lmao!!!! Never seen this episode before. Oh Johny...I and millions miss you sooo much😪 The best late-night talk show EVER of all- time hands down.
"no .. I think I would have recalled that" just too good
I recalled it!
The look on Johnny's face says, "No, but I'd sure love to pet yours!"
Damn right
Man...she was a little tease huh? I always liked her.
@@MegaSkills9 I mean she's alive...
Notice Her expression at 0:32 for a split second , Priceless!!
ALL late night shows after Carson nothing but a dog and pony show...Carson was the best
Missed.
Yup, no class after him.
Johnny was the best the ones I have on now not worth watching
Or cat and pony as it were. . . . . .
Letterman was a worthy successor. And right for his era.
Those facial impressions are just genius
Damn I miss this man.
He will always be the GOAT!
..... and Johnny went SpeechLeSS 🤣💖

That’s got to be the funniest thing ever on TV
I remember a Miss America or a Miss "Something" came on Carson one night and she was wearing a white top with no bra. The studio lights went right through the fabric. You could see it all. She had a beautiful set. Carson was very cool. He said, "I'm glad to see you're back...and you're front don't look too bad either!" He brought down the house. The audience roared for a couple minutes straight and the poor girl didn't get it - at least not at first. Carson kept getting more laughs by sincerely "fake" apologizing. Really something seeing all those stars back in the day. Who we got now? Nobody.
Carson is still fantastic--and the very best. Even when I know the joke, I laugh uproariously at his perfect timing.
That was an urban legend way back in the 70s.
I just heard about this one and one about Arnold Palmer's wife making his putter stand straight up.
It was not an Urban legend in the 70's it only recently became a legend because people in there 50's talked about the funniets night ever and when gen Z's try looking up the interview it is gone. NBC edited it out I can'f even find an interview with Zsa Zsa and a white cat.
@@leeeng478 I remember kids in grade school talking about it in the 1970s.
As a kid, I had to get my parents permission to watch the tonight show.
Now as an old fart, you couldn't pay me to watch what the networks put on.
That's funny because when I was 8, we went to the Worlds Fair in NY, 1964. The adults went to a taping of Carson, but wouldn't let the kids go.
All the late night BS is about negative Trump talk. It is so sickening, I stoped watching all that crap since Trump became President.
@@frankbiz That's why it's so entertaining!
@@0066keith Some of it my be, but it's like watching CNN crap news.
That is because the old fart Gary Whitteker adores Donald Trump... Yeah, Gary, you are an old fart. And a real stinker may I say, too.
He was the Best 😂👍
DAMN!!!!! I wasn't expecting to hear that 34 seconds into this clip HAHA!!! 😂
I saw that too. It was freakin great! Thanks for reminding me.
I've heard about this for a very long time now, but I never knew Jane Fonda actually came right out and asked Johnny about it. Classic!
Simon5005 ...it did happen Zsa Zsa came out and said what Jane Fonda said...I was watching that night. It was the funniest line I ever heard they're just keeping the video private... Carson was the best...these people we have now...nuts... I don't watch them
@@jamespack9348 You only think you were. It's been debunked many times. One of those urban legends that people swear they actually witnessed. Power of suggestion.
A friend of mine told me about it the day after it happened. So I believe it happened.
@@greg7656 Legend says Zsa Zsa sued him over it . I think with all these people talking about it and saying they witnessed it , it is like the Jim Morrison flashing incident in Miami . It never happened and Keyboardist Ray Manzarek commented “ I think Miami had a hallucination that day .
@@jamespack9348 Snopes says it is one of the best examples mass manufactured memories” in modern popular culture.
Carson says right here that it never happened, but everyone still says they saw it.
EVERYONE! In the 70's 80's and 90's this interview with Zsa Zsa was not myth. Now a bunch of geeks Gen Z and Dorks in general can't find a VHS.DVD or clip of the incident so it never happened even though millions of late night viewers saw it!
The way I heard it is, Johnny said, "Sure...you wanna' move your cat?"
Very great show 😃😃👍👍👍👍
The incident in question actually happened. 100% true.
@broadwaymungo --- link, please.
IDIOT there were no links back then GENZ Fing moron!@@markthesolarexpert
Johnny should have ...”pleaded the 5th”😂
after he drank it. LOL miss him !
YOU SAID THAT JOHNNY
It does something to me when attractive women say that word.
Cat ?
Especially one as fine Jane-
I saw it live! ...and that's the way it was.
Johnny Carson greatest tv man of all time.
Wow! I think he blushed
Also, you had knockout looks...
I remember this urban legend. People swore it happened.
It is not Urban legend if you saw it! Millions of witnesses cannot be debunked because NBC decided to edited the show out!
i'm so glad Johnny made sure to make a copy of all the shows from 1972-1994, even happier that they will air again starting Jan 1 - it did happen, i know, i saw it live - snopes has it wrong!
+Qroyd Thank-you
Where will they air again?
+Qroyd Snopes is definitely full of s**t. I saw it too. Carson said to Gabor: "Sure, if you move the cat first." There was no "damn".
+Qroyd Right!
Too bad there is no record on UA-cam of this. I saw it live too, so I know he said it, but would love to see it again
I would love to believe this really happened, but no tape after all these years?
Urban legend folks
They destroyed all the 1960s shows that might be why they're no tapes of that . Some idiot through them in the Hudson river. The tonight show was originally in New York.
@@Meatcity-sf8fm The tapes weren’t thrown in the Hudson. Due to how expensive tape was in those days, NBC did a process called “wiping.” Essentially erasing a tape for it to be reused for other programs. That’s what happened to the 60s Tonight Shows. They were wiped.
Ok please get me a clip of the Gettysburg address? easy checkmate!
This show was pre VHS and was edited out by NBC this is a simple and plausible explanation. Versus millions of people had a mass halucination! 1st person Witness statement are legally acceptable in both trial and as e reference historical events.
absolutely absolutely hilarious
His classic deer in the headlights look, luved it, hilarious. 😳😐😶😑😂
The thing is: A lot of us "Boomers" watched Johnny Carson religiously. Zsa Zsa Gabor was frequently a guest on the show. Though I don't recall the incident... "Would you like to pet my Pussy?"... totally sounds like something she could've said. She was a really funny lady ! 😎
The thing was that Zsa Zsa could have passed it off as an innocent suggestion aside from the double entendre. She was a character. They ALL were.
I saw it it was a white fluffy cat sitting on her lap. I am pretty sure it was edited out and this shows was pre VHS or inyernet. Eye witness testimony from millions of Americans should stand the test of time!
Jane delivered that joke perfectly. She has absolutely stunning timing. Quite an actress. I bet Carson himself set herself up to say that and had it all planned out.
Jane was asking about an urban legend that Johnny supposedly was trying to always ignore. Doubtful that Johnny would collaborate with anyone in that.
this is a funny clip, Johnny Carson is put on the spot by Jane Fonda
"I think I would have recalled that" Right? That would kind of stick with you. So to speak.
That's outrageous, funny as hell but outrageous!!
Who's watching 2021..it is July ...verrry funny...miss Johnny Carson- Tonight Show..legend/Icon..🙂😀❤😆😁😄😅lol
I would love to see that clip!
He DID say it, because I also watched it live. I remember my dad laughing so hard he fell out of his chair.
I was fortunate enough to be watching that night also it was hilarious
Wow so it did happen. Typical Johnny 😂
No you didn’t. It didn’t happen. Check snopes.
@@ejflor1313 Hey ASSHOLE...are you deaf? (Or Blind) I just told you..I was there. I watched it with my own to eyes (and ears) Look above at the other comment too. (James Pack) He also saw it. Don't call me a liar when its you that's some idiot in denial.
@@MegaSkills9 Bullsh!t. You did not see it and you're making this up.
First heard about that some 40+ years ago. Never knew that Jane Fonda put the question to him.
Johnny Carson acting like he's an innocent angel is deadly attractive. If anyone can find me the link to this recording with Zsa Zsa Gabor I will be eternally grateful.
I'm looking for that one also, plus Arnold Palmer's wife. I believed he got sued for both interviews.
+DominoRyder Wrong. He DID say this to Zsa Zsa.. His reply to Winnie Palmer was " that ought to make his putter stand up". She immediately walked off the show.
+fish doctor Fish, you know the stories. LOL. .
+DominoRyder That was Letterman when he held her picture upside down in her sexy lingurie spread and said V for Victory. Wow!
I love this clip ... But then again, I'm an animal lover too!
That's too funny!
Jane Fonda (Nueva York, 21 de diciembre de 1937) es una actriz estadounidense de larga y polifacética trayectoria, que ha trabajado también como escritora, editora de libros y realizando videos de aeróbic, y como activista política y bloguera. Ganadora de dos premios Oscar a la mejor actriz, Fonda ya es catalogada como una leyenda y mito del séptimo arte. y de la Época de Oro de Hollywood.
YES,THANK YOU !!
I hadn't seen this video before. It reminds me of another joke attributed to Groucho on his show, You Bet Your Life, in the 50s. He had a woman contestant that had 21 children and he asked her how it was she had 21 children. She said, "Well, Groucho, I love my husband." Groucho said, "I love my cigar too, but I take it out once in awhile!" 🤣🤣🤣
that was no joke, it really happened.
Für mich der schönste TV-Moment aller Zeiten.
Was with Burt Reynolds as guest host I believe, not Johnny
I saw it with my own two eyes myself!!
Nope
www.snopes.com/fact-check/pussy-quipped/
I did too. Why do all these idiots want to fight over it NOT happening? It's like the Moon landings. People are in denial about both. My whole family saw it with me. My mom even left the room embarrassed.
I saw it!
@@marygreen3529 - Thank you. So many people think I lied about this. It's really funny. It's like the moon landing. Some people just refuse to believe it.
So true! Who knows why the folks who own the Carson tapes are denying it! Maybe the actress really didn’t see the joke coming or possible censorship because of the words. Who knows! But I’m glad you and I know that it happened!
A+
Would have loved to have seen Doc's reaction..
Me 2!
I always remember watching that episode with Zha Zha - it was true.
No, it wasn't. Read this article. www.snopes.com/fact-check/pussy-quipped/?fbclid=IwAR00Y8o7uAVqUEcM7Rif63LKe1EwceX_zZ2IviJNoa42N_CURA7W4yLNCPo
oh yes it was real she came out with a cat in her lap sit down and said what Jane Fonda said she said it's a true story why would so many people say they saw it snap out of it
@@jamespack9348 Mandela Effect perhaps?
@@ajk yes ajk.. Google JJ Cale..the breeze video.. my comment thanks for responding..later
@@computerkid1416 you can't rely on snopes. The Onion is more reliable and truthful. Only far left people that don't like the truth rely on snopes.
Classic!!!!!
She sure was. Ask the north Vietnamese she shackled up with, before telling them where to find ,attack and kill American soldiers!
Legend !!!
I miss Carson
......that damn cat !!!
If that scenario had actually happened, NBC would have censored it. But you can bet the rent he would have THOUGHT of saying it!
Meow meow kitty.🐈🐈😛👅👅👄💋
BTW, Zsa Zsa DID say it. I was watching with my dad that night. The show used to be "live on tape", which meant it was taped in real-time, and not edited. They had to broadcast it as it was, or go dark. And BTW, I've also met scores of people my age who remember watching that night too... They can deny it all they want, but it happened. No matter what Snopes says.
I remember hearing about this from around 1974.And NBC cut or went dark ?
I am 64 years old. I saw that episode in which Zsa Zsa guested the night it aired. I don't remember the year it happened but I definitely remember not only the gist of the conversation between Zsa Zsa and Johnny but the way she demurely said it. It happened like Jane said. My memory of this incident predates the rise of internet browsers on personal computers, and I have never discussed this incident with anyone who might have influenced my memory of it.
I particularly remember Zsa Zsa saying "pet my pussy" and Johnny saying something like "if you'll get that damn cat off your lap". I'm surprised Johnny said it didn't happen. Both Zsa Zsa and Johnny even wrote letters in response to an inquiry in which they denied it happened. Here is the Snopes site: www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/zsazsa.asp
BeachBumRAP I'm glad someone else remembers it too. I'm 60 years old and I definitely saw that happen. My father was watching with me and I remember him saying "I can't believe they'd put that on TV !"
A lot of people mis-remembered it. That doesn't mean it happened.
My brother and sister ware also watching that night ans saw it too. As did lots of my friends. People have been hung from less direct testimony.
That's a kind of Urban Legend. One version said it involved Raquel Welch & Dick Cavett.
I heard it was Liberace 😂😂😂
omg that is priceless lol...
I recall watching the episode in question (oh, so many years ago). I remember being surprised that the bit actually got through NBC without being bleeped! The audience HOWLED and I though it was the most funny (and naughtiest) thing I'd ever see on TV.
I'm surprised Jane even got away with asking/saying this herself....
It did happen. I saw it on an advertising
they used to bleep everything. how did this not get bleeped?! Jane's the effing best.
@@littleladyinlalaland1749 It is ironic that you praise Jane for having the balls to be naughty, and the show not bleeping it, but you use effing, instead of fucking...unless that was part of the joke, then you are effing hilarious.
On another show (Which I also saw) he had the wife of famous golfer Arnold Palmer on. Johnny asked her : "With Arnolds huge string of success, I can't help but wonder...Is there anything you do for him before a big event?" She said: "Well...Yes, actually...he likes me to kiss his balls for luck." Johnny said : "Wow...I'll bet that makes his putter stick out." LOL
"You don't get to judge how someone should feel"
If Mr. Charles gets to judge Ms. Fonda, ignore her apologies and call her names, yes, I get to judge him, too.
"I get how someone would still be upset about someone who mocked the death of their relative"
And where exactly did he say his relative's death was mocked?
I always wanted to drink a beer with Johnny.
Hey, I'm 64 and I REMEMBER seeing this happen as my dad and I watched the show. I thought she was being such a snob showing up on the show with "that damn cat" in her lap during the interview. Carson said exactly what they say he said. My dad was laughing so hard I thought he was going to have a stoke! Ed McMahon almost fell out of his chair he was laughing so hard. The audience exploded while Carson sat there with his classic bemused, "what, did I say something?" look on his face. Zsa Zsa was flustered and obviously NOT amused. I later heard that she had threatened to sue CBS, which is perhaps why they have buried this as if it never happened.
That's great! Its my favourite Carson show moment.
who did he say it to
Zsa Zsa Gabor, famous Hollywood socialite married nine times to rich/famous hubbies. An early version of celebrities who offer little to celebrate. She's still alive at 99 years old!
+graphicgary1 that's so weird I heard the same story only I heard it about Elizabeth Taylor. I also heard she sewed and won
In the words of Inspector Clouseau" "Not anymore"
I remember my best friend telling me this story when we were kids. This was before the internet so you just had to take people's word for it. I always wondered if it were true.
That was a joke that went around forever ago.
Jane Fonda one of the sexiest women in Hollywood
I came here to have a laugh and I look below and see that even this clip has been turned into a discussion between people who insist on defending antiquated political ideologies who's leaders couldn't give a rat's fanny about those defending them because their main concern is staying in political and financial power!!!
It's ridiculous. My generation at least can see when the government is sending you on a fifty year witch hunt on an actress who did something at twenty, to have us ignore the wars for money going on. Or the variations of the government trying to distract the country, that's all it is. It was a horrible war, and it was urgent it be stopped. It killed so many people and ruined lives with PTSD and such. It's such misplaced anger.
+A Boston Treason is treason. She should have been tried back then. And yes, that bloody war did nothing but make a bunch of old men wealthy-er! However, as an American, you can protest all you want; but to go over to the enemy; to set your feet on the enemy's soil; to show support to the enemy; who's killing your fellow Americans, just seems wrong (because it is) and she should have been disciplined back then for treason. Too bad too, she could have been someone I like to watch (Cat Balou -? spelling) and her work with Bob Redford. But I just can't get past her fatuity behavior. She is easily manipulated.
Well said!!!!
@@ronwilsontringue6574 You are owned by the past. Take your life back from it.
Jane Fonda beautiful and a great sense of humour,Johnny Carson says it all with his expression
JANE FONDA is one of my all time Favorite actresses. TRUE BEAUTY AND HUMOUR AND INTELLIGENCE.
Plus she was a tease. I always liked her.
Hanoi 🇨🇳 Jane 🤣
Some intelligence when she was being a traitor to our military, Tell that to a Viet Nam Vet.
Imagine the uproar this would had caused in 2023 😂
I really thought I had seen it too, but I could be wrong.
Classic Johnny lol!!!
GOLD...
Awesome
Classic Carson. Miss those days.
Such a funny man ! 😜🤪
Glad he was a gentleman, and didn’t say that ! 👍
There is another joke about Johnny Carson once Arnold Palmer's wife supposedly came on and said this: before Arnie has a golf match I kiss his balls. Johnny Carson supposedly said that must make his putter stand up😂😂😂 of course it never happened
Jane asked that question so well... she knew Johnny could handle it
And where's the #MeToo movement!😂😂😂😂😂
Search for "Julie Andrews and Johnny Carson Bloopers" to see how dirty Carson could be!
I saw that show live and yes he did say that to Zha-Zha -- she stormed off the show after they went to a commercial
If it’s not true. It should be. And I could see Johnny’s face after he said it.
Yes he did say that lol 😂
