[yahoo3396]

[MrThodgin]

[woodlandstick]

I try to keep a straight face watching it...

it's difficult... O__o

[MrThodgin]

love this (Claude cooper the klepto from cleveland

[revsharp777]

Johnny was the best at comedy skits. I still miss him.

[juscurious]

Nothing this funny on late night TV anymore.

[pongoredskin]

I love this clip. Every time I hear it or watch it, i laugh.

[freedumb2003]

@pongoredskin

I think this is a Carson clip to be kept close as a classic comedy cutup.

[Erzahler]

I never could figure out how Jack Webb could always keep a straight face no matter what he was doing. It made everything that much more hilarious!

[bcushing]

I saw this when it originally aired, what's with the canned laughter?

[kimaut22]

Total hilarous



[spider9137]

Seems to me that there's a few seconds missing at the end ... just when you think it's all over, Jack Webb delivers the final line ... and laugh.

[sk8ergirl2205]

[sk8ergirl2205]

hilareas loved it my teach showed it 2 my class we couledent help but 2 lafe

[lahart52]

this is great.....!

[alexintheoutfield]

Awesome. But I wish Friday had said his famous line "stick to the facts please".

[FrodothePuppet]

A message to Claude Cooper, the cleptomaniac from Cleveland, who copped my clean copper clappers kept in my closet (conveyed to me by my cleaning woman Clara Clifton)...

...I'll clean your clock!

[auburntigersfan12]

ROTFL, i love the classics!!!

[MrShoeguy]

Carson's clever classic comedy clips keep me clapping.

[captjon615]

Is it just me -- or does the young Carson bear a resemblance to Dubya? Creepy.

[balsampillow]

@captjon615 that's just what I was thinking after watching the CLassic Caper from Carson...

[mdumas43073]

Yes, the "Carson clobbering Cleveland kleptomaniac Claude Cooper for copping the clean copper clappers kept in his closet as claimed by cleaning woman Clara Clifford" caper is indeed a classic.

Pity they couldn't have thrown in something with Ed McMahon's Clydesdales, though.

[tuxguys]

Who ever knew that Jack Webb's timing (watch him wait for the laughs) was as good as Carson's?

[Ctmagnus]

oh jack webb was a pro, he knew how to do this.

[WolfGamerVlad]

@tuxguys Before Dragnet, Jack Webb had a syndicated comedy show on radio, he knew comedy (and jazz, his other love).

[tuxguys]

@WolfGamerVlad

"I did not know that..." to quote JC.

Interesting, I knew about Webb's movie career, but I didn't know about the other stuff, thanks.

[007FanMan]

My teacher made us do this scene and it took about the whole day to actually do it correctly. Some day...

[uckosa]

If Cliff from Cleveland got clobbered after the clip I would clap.

[chillinwitdavillin]

they showed me this one too in 7th grade 3 years ago and we performed it infront of the class it was fun!!!

[pokemonchamp27]

i like this vidio they showed us this at my school

[misterleafeon]

cleaning woman clara clifford discovered your clean copper clappers kept in a closet were copped by claude copper the cleptomaniac from cleveland

lololololololololololol XD

[TimeForTimer]

Carson - just a classic!

[dirax13]

ALLITERATION FOR THE WIN!!!!!

[lonewolfwv]

one of the best clips from Carson. I died laughing the first time I saw this.

[54spiritedwill54]

One of my favorite routines also :D

[AGHRMatt]

It's hard to believe that they kept from breaking up i this skit. Carson and Webb at their best.

[indyracingnut]

Definitely one of my favorite Carson routines...Love Jack Webb's ability to keep from cracking up!

[wenonah4th]

Alliteration, always good.

[cs512tr]

lol

classic

[robrobbins]

George Bush looks a lot like Johnny Carson, after a lobotomy.

[servocrow61]

The BEST!! One of my favorite routines.

[harwetopa]

Oh! They just don't make routines like this anymore! Classic!
