Brings Back Great Memories!! These Guys are so Great together! When Johnny said Good Night for the last Time, I Cried harder than any movie I have ever seen.
Wow the silence from the audience at 2:15 - you know when a joke bombs when the studio turns into the silence of the forgotten tomb. Johnny thrived when jokes bombed like this. I miss him so much.
@@jennifersman7990 Bushkin had an axe to grind though, remember that. Johnny fired him because he felt Bushkin was investing his fortune in awful companies, and creaming off a large chunk of profit for himself. Johnny felt betrayed and fired him. Remember that before reading it.
"Just because it goes into the dumper..." 😅 Johnny dropped clunkers on purpose to give everybody a chance to shine. If Ed or Doc or Tommy or even Fred got on a roll, he didn't stifle them. One thing Carson did not do was hog the limelight (even the guy up the ladder... AWACS!). Show me a show today with depth like that.
Look at Johnny, he was smiling when Fred was next to him. Johnny never fell out with Fred until 1991. Until then, both men were very good friends. Fred's actions during the taping of Johnny's return to the show after the death of his son in a car accident was the cause of their friendship ending. But in 1983, Johnny didn't care where Fred walked to.
