THIS was the Last Show, not the wonderful retrospective that happened the next night.
I hadn't seen this since the night it was aired, 20 years ago this coming May, and it is exactly as I remembered it, indelibly etched on my film of memory.
(Kudos to Ross Tompkins, the pianist, who found their key, and improvised a flawless accompaniment to go along with them.)

I can't believe its been 20 years already...

Turns from just a charming interview to a magical moment when Miss M. begins a a'cappella "Rainy Day" and Mr C. nonchalantly joins in, followed very quietly by the piano. And suddenly, the audience is hushed, the camera zooms in, and there isn't a dry eye in the house. And on only a 90-second clip. Singularly gorgeous.

holy moly, that be a cryer!! me dad would play this on piano and me mum would sing whilist growing up...

I haven't seen this since it aired in '92. Definitely a moving moment that brought chills all over again. There will never ever be another like Johnny.

This was one of my mom's favorite things in the world to watch over and over. I wish she was here to watch it again.

But that's how the show was. Gags always slipped shifted on three levels contemporary if you know what I mean

Someone able to make out what they were chatting from 1,23 - 1,46?
The crowd is so touched it's hard to tell. What I got so far is:
Robin must have said something unrecorded
Bette to Robin: Are you sure baby?
Robin: Yes. Thanks for come Nikita. I'm happy to be here.
(-----I know it should be "coming", for the one who'll take the minutes---)
Johnny: Wow! I have to tell you that. Wow.
Bette: I should have take my harmonies.
Anyone else dreaming they've said something like that?

love love love love love this!

THANK YOU JOHNNY. YOU WERE IN A CLASS BY YOURSELF. YOUR MISSED.

I was in the audience that night and I will never forget the absolutely palpable electricity in the studio. Even Robin Williams knew he was in the presence of greatness [not his own!] and took a seat in the back of the bus. This is easily one of the highlights of television history. The Divine One never forgot who took her to the prom.
