Thanx muchly for sharing this little gem, Honeydew Hideout! I saw probably all of Johnny's Tonight Shows, first-run, and not again till now, so I thank you. I miss Johnny, and his Tonights. Always a fun show. And you usually learned at least one thing, too: whether it be something about the guest, or a critter, or a country, or the universe, or even a new joke. RIP, darling Johnny, and thanx so very much, for the magic, music, and memories.
Not only was Johnny hugely hilarious, Ed McMann’s laugh in the background was so infectious, it is also what made the show so comical. Thanks for the memories.
Johnny Carson was it. He was da man for da job and that was it. He was da host with da most for this show and, although Leno was good, Carson was better by 150%.
Even less! 8 years later was the 29th anniversary show, which was only about 7 months before the final episode. One kinda wishes he would have stuck around through the summer break, and finished things off with a 30th anniversary special.
@@AkumaAPNI wonder if idea was batted around and he denied it. If you recall on his last show, he said they wanted a big to do in primetime like these specials were, and he turned it down for a quieter ending instead. I have to think it was at least suggested to him at some point.
It always kills me, when I hear Ed McMahan 😂 laughing so overly extra loud, that you know it wasn't all that funny, but he's hoping that you don't notice the truth. 😮
@@chirelle.alanalooney8609 I think it's more usually found that Ed's extra big laughs are due to a look of bewilderment on Johnnie's face, like he's laughing at Johnnie's reaction, rather than the actual joke or situation.
