Johnny Carson was not a show, it was therapy. He provided an escape from reality. You can't say that about any show anymore. He could have been brilliant that night or could have sucked that night. You didn't give a damn. He was worth every second of your time. I too dearly miss Johnny and the gang. I just wish future generations just "get" Johnny Carson.

I'm 24 and was born in 1996. And this is the funniest stuff ever. I've watched so much old Johnny Carson with Don Rickles and Rodney dangerfield, George Burns, the list goes on. I'm embarrassed that we have Fallon and Kimmel. They are so boring. This looked like a fun genuine time. I love watching old TV shows. Like Fish, Original chips. This stuff is just humor. And of course Carnac the magnificent with Ed McMahon.

I guess you could say he's what the doctor ordered

@Rob_Kates 3 года назад

Good point. That is one of the things that made Johnny special. He wanted other people to shine on his show, especially funny people. He did not need to get every laugh himself. He just wanted the show to be top notch, whether he got the laughs, or someone else did. He was secure in himself and his abilities. More evidence of this is how he had guest hosts sit in for him a lot. A lot of hosts would not do that. They would be afraid of the guest hosts being too good.

I watch this ever year around Thanksgiving time; have probably viewed it 50 times and still laugh heartily every single time. I just love everything about it and how much fun these two have. Johnny knows when to let the other person talk and his laughter is priceless. Funny how he’s always straightening his tie and fiddling with the pencils, too.

I think Johnny's laugh improved over time. When he was young, it was kind of nasally and repetitive. As he got older, it was basically the same laugh, but heartier and more melodic, seeming to come more from the diaphragm (as the singing instructors I've seen on TV would say).

One of the best spots ever on the Tonight Show. Doc used Johnny as the best straight man and Johnny didn’t see it coming.

Watching this on Thanksgiving 2020. I hope Doc is having his lasagna right now. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! 😊🦃

@paulstanley1041 11 месяцев назад

Late night hosts are now just political mouthpieces for owner, all they have to do is read teleprompter and smile . . . EVERY single night they bring up Trump at least 3 times. Gets old and very redundant. No one cares what the owner of network thinks about politics and pushing it down our throat every evening just makes you turn channel

@christineleblond7777 10 месяцев назад

Doc is still with us.. So many have passed away from the show. Fred DeCordava, Tommy, Ed, Johnny, and many of the stars who appeared on the show.

Johnny: And Ed's away in NYC, ("preparing") to cover the Thanksgiving Macy's parade for NBC, "Tie askew and nose a-glow", lol!

@jimstoddard4994 6 лет назад

That's so amazing! I remember seeing that segment when the show first aired and thought it was some of the funniest material I had ever heard. I still find it hilarious. As it happens, I met Doc Severinsen back when I was in college. The Tonight Show Band came to the school to do a concert, which was fabulous, and some of us music majors went back stage afterwards and met Doc, Tommy Newsom, and Eddie Shaughnessy, the drummer. They couldn't have been nicer and made the evening extra special for me and my friends. I'll never forget them.

@richardhorgan3007 6 лет назад

Severinsen, this Thanksgiving season, is scheduled to play at the Foo Foo Festival Nov. 10 in Pensacola, Florida, with the local Civic Band. Not performing quite as much as he used to, but still rolling at age 91. I bet this comes up at some point that night.

@northboundvideo9711 7 лет назад

no turkey for me , rather have honey baked ham but great Tonight show moment. "They deserve it anything that ugly, should die." " I can't give you any but I'll sell you some" Great Doc quotes

@Will2.O Год назад

I can say when I lived in Tennessee doc Severinsen would come in to Kroger where I worked every other week or so and we would talk Jazz it was amazing

@imisstoronto3121 11 лет назад

always thought this was hilarious; Doc Severinson showing a funny side not often seen on tv.

@wackyworldnews 3 года назад

do you have this in your archives: Anyone ever see the show where Tommy newsome had the headphones on ? Johnny goes on and on about something while Tommy is spotlighted. When Johnny stops and expects an answer Tommy takes off the headphones and says " sorry, I was listening to the Dodgers game ".....hilarious !

Johnny knew quickly that this conversation was going to be gold, and played off of Doc marvelously. Notice how natural the conversation is, and the laughs surely followed. That could never happen today as the late night hosts today would go for the laughs more than the conversation.
