All of these years have passed, and Johnny Carson still sets the standard. Spontaniously funny, the best moments were the f ups, and Johnny would give the audience that look, and there was laughter in bedrooms from coast to coast. What better gift could a man give to us , than laughter after a hard days work .R.I.P. Johnny.

There are 3 dislikes? You're a dick if you didn't like this.

[bWildcat1]

The only bad thing about this is I can't c the end of this wonderful tribute. :(

[kduideo]

I think Johnny had SOCIAL PHOBIA like I do.

[tntrex0]

Thanks for posting this gem!!!!!

"Have you ever read any books?" Good Lord, Johnny was so spontaneously funny.

Honest humor.

[MiltonJenkins]

Many kudos to you for getting this out to more people. I got to see Johnny live in Chicago in 1976 after failing to see him on a 1975 Tonight Show I had a seat for (Joey Bishop hosted)-I consider myself lucky.

"I don't want to be mean....but she was dumb."

HUGE laugh

If I had to guess, I'd say it was Tanya Roberts.

Mann, this truly reminds of what Television should be about. The history, the classic, the Heavyweights!

Peter forgot that in between marriages, when Johnny had an attactive single female guest on the show, he'd often would take them out for dinner after the show was taped. His dates included Angie Dickenson, Dyan Cannon and Sally Field.

[Dagarvs]

this is one of the best things i've seen on tv or youtube

thanks tons, DT, cause i would never have known this existed otherwise.

[vg5157]

well ,just because you don't like him, .......

[fakebird88]

thanks DTSavaria for posting this tribute! Great stuff.

[meanwiddlekid]

I think it's amazing that in 30 years Johnny never ate in front of anyone that worked on the show.

Although I do remember on one show that Johnny said that he was having dinner that night after the show with Dr. Lendon Smith, who was on the show that night and was a regular guest on the show, despite Peter Lassally saying that Johnny never had dinner with the guests.

[spyhunter41]

that describe one time over 30 years, nother word for that is never

[NSResponder]

I am so jealous of that man. Imagine being in the wings watching Johnny Carson every night for so much of his career. What a marvelous time he must have had.

[sxer99]

That was the good old days... Today, Dave makes fun of Paris Hilton and the whole world goes crazy...

[maada2]

cause thats the audience man. cater to the conditions and the audience.

[UFOSPACE1999]

is that the same damn tanya roberts that ended up in the flic A View to a Kill??? I remember seein that flic and shouting at the movie screen to james bond, as he hung onto her arm off the golden gate, DROP THE BITCH!! PLEASE DROP THE BITCH!!! SHE CAN'T ACT!! anytime tanya roberts was on screen in the truly bad flic of a view to a kill, great music and song by the way, the damn flic would come to a fucking halt.

[unclesmedley]

[Lindeman08]

Who's the dumb angel? :)

[redlion83]

Tanya Roberts. The clip of her on the Tonight Show was on you tube at one time.

[sxer99]

i agree about Regis being the closest thing to Johnny... this is a great video, all of them are actually, thank you DTSavaria

[celebtrvl]

A classic talkshow icon of today paying tribute to his mentor - only like Dave could- with elegance and humor.
