Johnny Carson is a Politician Taking a Polygraph Test on "The Tonight Show" - 1982

[fantastique9999]

This is absolutely the very best Johnny Carson sketch ever. You'd have to be dead not to find humor in this. This is a damn good timeless classic, and it shows that in 30 years, absolutely not a thing has changed in U.S. politics.

Johnny did a similar sketch around 1978 where he was a comedian as President and doing a press conference. He was dressed in a loud suit that looked like Spike Jones, his hair was messed up, and he annoyed the journalists with dumb comical answers. He even had trouble getting out the door at the end much like how GW Bush couldn't get out the locked door at one of his press conferences. :o)

I'd love to see someone do a sketch like this about President Obama as well, but we all know that'll never happen because of political correctness and the fear of being accused of being racist. Sad really, that one has to worry about offending someone in this day and age of commedy or lack there of.

:(

@DorvellTStewart You nailed it, Dorvell. Well said. Not only because of being called racist and political correctness.....but because the entertainment industry is so completely liberal. Hell, not just liberal....but socialistic with a marxist bent. It's sooo sad. But the day is coming when all the ills that you and I just mentioned will be swept away. The pendulum always swings. It may not come immediately....but it will come.

@WickedTornado ohh so scared...oh are they trying to take our freedom? ohhh

look around moron, look on the internet for that matter...if you want to be racist, you can very well be, there's thousands of inbred trailer trash hicks venting in sites like stormfront and on tv like faux news...remember the new york times cartoon? yeah thats just the tip of the iceberg

[WickedTornado]

@sayanroy36 Ugh Oh......a liberal on the loose.

[sayanroy36]

@WickedTornado better be a liberal than an ignorant, bible thumping, medieval ideology following, women bashing, hate mongering, fear mongering, war mongering, fascist, xenophobic, middle class killing, corporate slave wingnut retard.

now run along and try to pray the gays and mexicans away boy.
