I am seventy one and there is nothing funny about being a septuagenarian!

The jacket looks like something an extra would wear in the old Planet of the Apes

The sitcom was better. Joey's jacket looked pretty damned sharp.

No wonder Carson was no1

Heavens to Ravi Shankar! THANKS for posting this cool clip! I was a teenager when this show ran on the late night ABC lineup & don't recall ever watching it. Though I did see the very droll Mr Bishop in the mid-70's as a substitue host for Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show". You've MADE my day & my week! CHEERS!

@goo4ssie I saw it, just by luck. I always switched btw Carson, Bishop, and whatever was on locally. Regis was probably influenced by Jack Paar's famous walkout years earlier. Regis and Joey were talking and right away you could tell it was serious ,Joey was like a deer in headlights, it was completely real. Regis was in tears saying something I and likely 95% of the audience didn't get about his leaving, then split. Total silence. Later I learned he had heard some ABC execs panned him.

REGIS IS A BOWEL MOVEMENT.

Wow Regis is so much funnier now as a septuagenarian!
Does anyone have any of the footage of the night that Regis staged his walkout? I'd like to see it I missed seeing it originally.

Bishop's Nehru jacket is fucking sharp. Regis' looks like something a 90-year-old woman would wear.
