Dave's 2nd last appearance on Johnny (P1)

[superbubbadude1]

When Johnny sadly passed away, David Letterman did his whole show in tribute to Johnny Carson and showed highlights of all the skits they did together. Funniest Line from Johnny on Phone to Dave, "Pretty Good, The Mud Slides are putting out the fires. You just cannot beat that good humor.

To me, this is Carson telling the audience that if he was to choose he would have had Letterman as his successor.

it was clearly obvious that carson had a great respect and liked letterman, i think the tonight show ended when carson left, enough said

@ftlshome1 So true. I wonder how many other comedians that came on the show that Johnny remembered the first joke they told

[electrostatic1]

@ftlshome1 I don't know if you know this, but Johnny wrote one last monologue on his death bed and had Dave perform it as a tribute after he died. watch?v=4BiHLK5lFvQ
