David Letterman on Tonight Show with Johnny Carson Part 1

its interesting, the HBO movie about this situation amde it seem that Dave was told he would get the Tonight Show...

Wow what a reaction to the first question, "Just how pissed off are you?" You never get to see that on tv anymore. Johnny and Dave were a great team. Almost like a 80s Martin and Lewis. RIP Johnny.

Johnny Carson was a great host. And Jay was a great host to follow too. Glad they both could be a part of this show.

"tens years feels like long enough..."

indeed.

Wow, I don't ever remember Letterman having so much hair! Bet he misses those days. huh? ;o)

dave looks like the john malkovich's character in Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy! ROFL!

Here you have two of the greatest hosts in late night television, talking about the biggest mistake that NBC ever did. They didn´t let David Letterman take over The Tonight Show. Note also the fact that this year, Letterman has been on air for 27 years. And i hope he will stay for the "magic" 30 years also...

Well said. CBS would be a shell of what it is now without Letterman.

I didn't know who Johnny Carson is . Seems like a nice guy. But it's nice to see Dave so young. He sounded a bit different then.

Carson was so great. I miss him, and the old days. Todays talent in general is not talented at all. Carson was a class act; an institution kids today will never know or understand.
