Johnny Carson was about 55 years old at the time of this clip. At this point, Carson was already an institution and revered throughout the country and world. He had a gravitas that 55-year-old celebrities rarely do now. He seemed like an authority, someone to be trusted, a comforting presence. Other talk show hosts have become famous, rich and have their own fanbases and legacies, but no one touches Carson. Not only was he the template for all the rest, but he also effortlessly showed how to combine class, grace, humor and humility with peerless timing and touch.
I've read many comments on Johnny Carson and yours is the best commentary out of all of them. I was deeply touched when you mentioned that he was a comforting presence. He helped me get through a bad time in my life. So now, when I watch these clips, I laugh cause they're timelessly funny, but I also cry cause I miss him so much. He was a class act. Puts Fallon to shame in so many ways.
Johnny had a great voice and sang very well. There's one of him singing with Dolly Parton and it is impressive indeed. Johnny always puts a smile on my face. A timeless legend.
It depended on where the person who recorded these editions lived. Also some had outdoor antennas on their roof which brought in a stable signal, and others had an indoor portable antenna which was much weaker.
Sadly, Johnny's real last words were not funny. According to his younger brother Dick Carson, as Johnny was dying from emphysema he kept repeating "those damned cigarettes" over and over.
Ed stepped on Johnny's W.C. Fields impression. There are many stories of Johnny laughing live, but backstage telling Ed, "You're the set-up. The punch lines are mine." I wonder if this was one of those moments when Johnny filed it away for after the show.

@@gefloigle As a good God Fearing Baptist I most certainly will be in Heaven. And trust me, there won't be any trump worshiping supporters there. They have their god and I have mine.
@@GermanShepherd1983 Not so sure you'll be in Heaven either. Not with that overbearing judgmental attitude of yours. God is not a real fan of someone taking over His job of judging.
Most likely there won't be any self-righteous religious assholes who think they know anything concerning who is or is not going to heaven as if they can read the will of God.
