What an absolute joy to see the opening with the NBC peacock and the music that went with it. God, we're all getting a bit older...aren't we? I can remember having only a black and white tv as a kid, and going to other kid's homes who had color tv's. I'd see the NBC peacock in all it's multi-color glory...and try to memorize which colors were on each "feather", and then watch it on our old black and white and try to picture what colors went where. I was 38 yrs. old at the time. No, not really.
He wasn't being a racist ya dohnut he was impersinating Rickles. & in my opinion he's the funniest man alive. Unlike other Vegas acts each show he does is unique. If I was in Vegas when Rickles was I'd go to every show.
& if u really want to laugh search Rickles & Denzel to see him roast Denzel on the letterman show

I watched this video many times and remember the days of these episodes and was just WAITING for some nigger to come on here and cry racism like they ALL do. No wonder there is so much hatred towards blacks in today's society, they deserve every bit of hatred due to their whiny, uneducated attitudes.
@Archiebuildsgarbage ignorance is bliss and you are blissfully unaware........blacks should thank white people and be happy that they have such wonderful people like archie to call friends.......forget rampant discrimination, red-lining of bank loans, unequal schools and so on......just forget all that and listen to educated, reasonable people like archie. Archie could give a rat's ass about you or me but we are supposed to listen to him.........genius Archie, genius.
Bah, if you want to be PC and complain about this... then you need to be consistent and also get every act by Don Rickles removed. Carson is imitating Rickles here, if that's racist, then so is the act he's imitating in the first place.
It's Carson, joking around. Not ignorant, insensitive nor disgusting since the black man in question even clearly went along with it at first (4:20).
also to be fair carson is mocking ''imitating'' rickles style of humor ...so though the joke is ''racial'' its not truly meant to be ''racist'' ...& again i contend that our present pc stances contribute to the overall dumbing of our society
Wow. Another angry black man calling other people names and hiding behind the race card and the internet to make up for his real life inadequacies. I wish you all the luck at trying to "report" this video...will never happen. I feel very sad for you. Goodbye.
@fannywiper if you are referring to me then I am white, 38, 19 years serving this country I love in the US Miitary grew up in the inner city of Hartford CT in the 80's with blacks, whites, portugeese, spanish and so on.........
Again, I never used word the racist if you look at all my comments.
That sequence of events is the very worst of Johnny Carson and it ignorant, insensitive and disgusting............I bet you hard money Rickles NEVER joked about haning blacks or cotton gins..
Really???? Portugese is not a race, thank you Tony Obvious......again never used the word race to describe my Portugeese and Spanish friends growing up. It was used to explain my point but since you have no real response you simply try to grab a hold of any thing.........nice work Socrates, any other brillant reflections on race and mankind you can share with us?
please keep in mind that this is 1976 at 11:30pm at night after all the kids have gone to bed and yes jokes like that would not go over well in today's PC world. Just put it in a time capsule and realize it was what it was and let it go. There are more important things in this world to worry about than a youtube video of an old show..
@fannywiper that may be the weakest excuse I have ever heard in my entire 38 year life. your response would be considered a joke if the subject weren't so serious.
let it go, status quo, oh no............The posting of the video and celebrating the bigoted humor is what I'm talking about, not 1976. there is too much going on is the default answer to too many things.
@kevcas73 i think your view is right and wrong. i would not debate that its is racest ect BUT i was reading about carson and his ''fueds'' and came across something about this episode. now i came to youtube to see it and found it, now i know something i didnt before. to remove such is censorship, and its another dumbing dumbing down of culture.(the whole know where youve been to know where your going) to be against racism one should want every clip of every such moment available to be viewed
@willtrib an interesting point. not one that I honestly fully understand but interesting nonetheless. I have reread it several times and each time I agree with it more.
joking about hanging people and cotton gins and you bitch about the world being too PC. get real, seriously.
Are you backwoods West Virginian, Walmart shopping, marry your cousin, missing most if not all of your front teeth ignorant white trash hick???? how about that PC joke you fucking hillbilly faggot.........Now let's see you comment on the state of PC in the US.....
@kevcas73 Thanks for your fake outrage. Most people understood... the guy who Carson was making jokes at was even laughing... but do please go on pretending you're important... but I assure you that you are made of fail.
@UncleMilo do a little research kind sir and you will find that there was plenty of outrage and the man you refer to was quite disgusted with the "joke". It is considered by many, including myself, as the worst moment in a long and otherwise distinguished career.
@kevcas73 what do you mean by the worst? the black guy part? that's him imitating Rickles' comedy style. Watch other videos of Don Rickles and you'll know what I mean.
@bobbybishopbuffalo what does it matter that he is imitating Rickles comedy style? He jokes, using Rickles comedy style, about hanging a black man and getting cotton mills........that is despicable and revolting.....How could you even beging to rationalize that kind of humor???
Carson says "Hey a black man!" and "You big dummy!" because that's stuff that Rickles says and he's making fun of Rickles, you big dummies!

How ironic that one of the guests was Jay Leno. Think that Jay could ever get the better of Rickles like this?

Gosh that cotton mill joke was bad! Lol such a different time back then. If a white guy made a crack like that in today's world he's be strung up.

I just love how Johnny was able to turn an unexpected moment on the show into a funny moment. He is indeed the King of Late Night.
