Art Donovan on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, April 12, 1990 

😅ㅛㅅ

Great timing by Johnny there 🤣

Uh oh. Hope this one survives.

Yesterday's

He served there then as well

Cool! When, and do you have a link?

@@dongiller Mr. Giller, the late great Mr. Pat Cooper has passed away. I think you should upload some Cooper-Letterman appearances in his honor.

@@NoOne-kr4jc No longer doable, unfortunately.

@@dongiller Letterman's people have you on a leash?

@@NoOne-kr4jc I wouldn’t describe it that way.

I uploaded all of his Letterman appearances awhile back. Two-part compilation.

@@dongiller Good to know. I'll be checking it out.

All of Art’s Dave appearances are in a two-part compilation,

Doubt they’d go to so much trouble. It sounds like Art caught himself and only said “Geez.”

He looks like a business man

He was Marine in Ww2 Luzon and Iwo Jima.

In his book Fatso, he said he would fill the hotel bathtub with ice and beer. 🍻😊

The censors likely didn't miss it. "The Tonight Show" taped from 5:30 to 6:30 pm in Burbank--9:30 pm in the Eastern time zone. So if any editing had to be done, they had two hours to do it before the show went on the air. And in those days, editing was still a very slow, time-consuming process. So it was more of a matter of the editing team looking at the clock and saying "the hell with it" and just airing the show as-is in the Eastern time zone. (11:30 pm is part of what the FCC declares "safe haven time" and they actually don't enforce any restrictions at that hour; any bleeping or censoring at that time of night on network television is just done as a courtesy to the sponsors, more than anything.)

I found one show when he used that line - at the end of October 12, 1994: “So until tomorrow night, from Riverfront Stadium and this is the old lefthander rounding third and heading home for now. Good night, everybody!” Nice catch. :)

@@dongiller awesome, thanks!

Believe it or not, this _is_ what was broadcast.

@@dongiller Wow...that's great! LOL - thanks!!

​@@privatepenguin3137I saw Art many times on talk shows, but I somehow missed this one. I'm so glad to see it now for the first time. 😊👍

No longer, unfortunately.

It is.

or as good looking

@@scottclark7592 oooh, that's mean 😆😆😆😆😆, but accurate! Mitch Banner Linville NC
