It takes 18 minutes to tell you it is Bob Hope.

'People will pay more to be entertained than educated' Johnny Carson

The only thing money gives you is the freedom of not worrying about money. Johnny Carson

This video should've been titled. "Johnny Carson. A Biography"

I have read that Joan Rivers negotiated her own show without consulting Johnny or asking for his advice. She made the deal and then told him after it was finalized. You could tell by his body language that Johnny wasn't a warm & fuzzy guy, but he was absolutely the King of late night comedy and no one has even come close since he left.

My father adored Johnny. He watched his show every night.

Why all the pics of Jason Bateman when telling about his son who worked on the Tomorrow show?

This was supposed to be about the guest Johnny Carson hated the most, not Carson’s life story. Way too much information.

Thankfully I'm old enough to remember watching Johnny. No one like him today.

They didn't tell the whole story of the Joan Rivers feud. She called Carson sexist but the reason that Carson was so mad at Rivers was that she took a show on Fox opposite Johnny Carson at the same time trying to take his viewers away. That's not sexism. That's a slap in the face of the guy who gave her her big break. Joan Rivers was an insensitive greedy jerk.

Save yourself 20 minutes. Go to 20:26. It's Charlie Callas he couldn't stand. 👍 if you wanna save other people 20 minutes.

An intensely shy person, late-night television host Johnny Carson was at ease on the air, employing a self-deprecating and sharp sense of humor that pleased television audiences for decades

Johnny was way better than what's on today.

Johnny Carson was a one of a kind - a comedic genius never to be repeated. RIP Johnny.

My mom was in labor with me but REFUSED to go to the hospital until Johnny Carson's show was over. I was born at 1:17AM 😂😂

There is extremely little content on which guest Johnny disliked the most.

Very long BIO's before the information promised in the title that doesn't start until the 17th minute!!! What a dishonest clickbait...

Johnny Carson is a class act within the entertainment industry. People are different, challenges, disabilities, etc.

Felt like I was in a Monty Python sketch. "Get on with it!"

Johnny should have passed the torch off to Joan Rivers. She guest hosted the majority of the time he wasn't there. For him to pass her by when it was time to retire was also a gut punch for Joan Rivers. There are always two sides to everything. She was fantastic and hilarious, unlike Leno who replaced Johnny. It was all downhill from then on in my opinion.

Carson's frustration with Callas's reliance on scripted gags and lack of evolution in his comedic style reveals the high expectations Carson had for his guests.

Frank Gifford’s affair was with Joanna, not Jody Carson.

How to Trivialize a Legend

It took you twenty minutes to get to the point. Delete channel.

Oh my gosh, I sure hope it isn't Dean Martin that he hates and permanently bannished from his show. I just love Dean.

I loved his show and I would record it when I couldn't watch due to having to be at work.The booming laughter of Ed McMahon added a lot to the show. Johnny Carson was the best.

There’s no talk shows anymore as far as I’m concerned..Johnny was it ..never be anyone else like him EVER

Fast forward to the end Bob Hope, Joan Rivers and Charlie Callas.

Perfect timing - you ran out of applause just as I ran out of humility. Johnny Carson

I loved his show. It was much different than any other. RIP Mr. Carson

Thank you for saving me 18 minutes 👍

I saw Charlie Callas appear on The Tonight Show when Joan Rivers was guest host. Johnny was on vacation that week. He did a funny bit on drums making his signature sound effects. It was clever and he was a surprisingly good drummer. The night Johnny returned Ed Shaughnessy, the regular drummer in the band, performed an identical comedy bit making the sounds we associate with Charlie Callas. Johnny introduced it then laughed and complimented the performance but made no mention of the identical bit being done by Callas the week before. It was very odd and I wondered about it for years. After Charlie Callas passed away I read about the incident when Charlie shoved Johnny. He was banned from appearing on the show when Johnny was hosting. I did as much research as I could and found records of when Callas appeared while Rivers was host and Johnny was on vacation. Anyone officially part of The Tonight Show denied the snub took place. They might have not liked one another much but when Charlie shoved Johnny he was offended and felt disrespected. Johnny had earned the throne as King of late night television and it makes perfect sense that Johnny went out of his way to snub Callas.

I was unfortunate enough to have spent an afternoon with Callas. It felt as if my life had been hijacked! Not for one moment did he let up on his unfunny jokes, his weird facial grimaces, his bizarre sounds and cacophonous speech. I was desperate to get away but politeness ruled in those days…one of worst moments of my life!

Johnny was one of the classiest late night show hosts ever. I didn't care for his obvious chauvinistic views, but I guess he was from that era. But other than that he said a lot of wise things, and had a lot of wise observations. He also cared about animals very much, which I loved about him. And I remember the show, for some reason, after his son died in the car crash, where he ended the show by showing his son's best photographs, you could see the pain in his eyes and hear the pain in his voice like I'd never seen, and I realized he was a very private person but also very deep. It is sad he had to forego being a family man for his career. But, I still think he was a very smart and elegant man. I don't think any other late night host can hold a candle to him.

when i was stationed a Nellis AFB, on Friday nights, we would go roller skating at this shopping center. after 10pm you had to show you were over 18, as there was a curfew to keep minors of the strip at night. one Friday, Mr Johnny Carson and his wife came there to skate. no one bothered him, and he was very nice to everyone. and bought everyone a drink of their choice, for the way we treated him and his wife. he didn't seem to have any problem making small talk to people from time to time. they were with us for at least two hours, and yes he did some slide of hand, lol. one of my fondest memories from back then.

The *REAL BETRAYAL* in regards to Joan Rivers was that she'd been offered and accepted a late night talk show that *COMPETED* with his long-running Tonight Show.

Johnny is still the king of late night!

Funniest show on Carson was when Dickie Smothers did a take off on Carson. He looked and acted exactly like Johnny. Everyone was busting a gut.

Carson's first wife didn't have an affair with Frank Gifford, Joanne Copeland did.

The video is a long, drawn out attempt at getting people to watch content?

I loved Johnny Carson! I watched him every night

Or maybe Johnny Carson just felt that he was backstabbed by Joan Rivers

There are errors all over this video. Misidentified wives, photos of an adolescent Jason Bateman when the narrator is talking about Johnny’s son Rick. Just to name a few of the sloppy mistakes herein

I didn’t realize I would miss Johnny Carson so much until I watched Colbert

My wife and I used to watch him every weekday evening. He was the best and far superior to any of the talking heads late night hosts of today.

Yes I agree. I watched about 4 minutes and realized this was a bait and switch and fast forward about 3/4 way through and reached the point.

Say what you will . He had his flaws, he recognized them.. and moved on. He was actually a gentleman.

Everyone is different when they get off work, don’t badmouth him..he worked for years every day..he was great PERIOD

I've been looking for years for a unique episode. Early Robin Williams, great opening act (as usual for R.W.) and Robin is invited to have a seat, and a bit of his hilarious impromptu with Johnny. Next guest is Bob Hope, and it doesn't matter who follows Robin, no one can hope to compete. Now I understand the how & why of this night's show. Robin sits tight when Bob has his time with Johnny, I remember Bob's first line to Johnny as "Thanks alot Johnny". Robin was doing all he could to contain himself, sits still, quiet, clasped hands, but several times throughout Bob's chair time Bob would say something to Johnny and Robin would burst out in a 20 second manic riff, sit back down again, and Bob never knew what hit him, but Bob was, talent wise, hopelessly out classed. Been a lifelong quest hoping to find or run across that bit one more time.

"However...let's take a look at what led up to this moment. The Early Life of Johnny Carson:" bleh.

Only about half a dozen guests he didn't get along with out of thousands? Quite a great guy with high standards.

The first wife, Jody, was NOT the one to have the affair with Frank Gifford. It was Johnny's second wife, Joann!

I once dated Johnny in high school. He brought me to the sock hop.

When I was younger I would watch Johnny all the time and my friends would say shit about it and never understood why , Johnny Carson was the man of Late Night , kinda miss him 😒✌

Well, that’s 20+ minutes I can’t get back. All that, just to hear who Johnny didn’t like. Wow!

I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself. Johnny Carson

Johnny went out with class. This hatchet job is a bit much. You don't get to the top by being a second banana.

Johnny was *VERY PRIVATE* about his personal life. You have to respect that. Many guests would tease and rib him about his multiple marriages to women named "Joanne/Joanna". That was usually the last time that guest appeared on his show.

When Letterman used to guest-host, he used to kill on that show. He was SO GOOD that Johnny got threatened and gave Letterman a daytime show (that failed) in order to keep him away from the Tonight Show seat.

Why do they keep showing Jason Bateman as his son Rick...haha

😂 an expensive racket...when you two are the reason it fails

Bob Hope always left after his interview was over with Johnny. I bet that didn’t sit well with Johnny.

this is soooooo much more interesting that the title would suggest

I'll save you 23 minutes - It's BOB HOPE

I loved Joan Rivers! She was one of the truly funny female comedians.

My father met Bob Hope when he was in the army for WW2. He is the only person I heard my father say that he did not like.

One guest that Johnny couldn't stand was Rich Little. You can imagine how Carson felt when Little played him in the TV Movie The Late Shift.

I went into labor with my daughter, January 1970 while Johnny Carson was on she has always been a fan of his. Lol.

I saw a clip of David Tolly the great Piano Player that he chose out of his Audience, and his Audience loved David.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

well, they baited me...wheres the most hated person?

That was Justin Bateman everytime they talked about Rick Carson -

“Rick” is Jason Bateman. 😂😂😂

I've heard from many sources that Bob Hope was a jerk in real life.

I think you are trying to stir up NEGATIVE things about Johnny Carson. I don't care if he eventually had a falling out with Callas. He had a 30 year tonight show run, of course there are going to be a few people who rubbed him the wrong way OR he rubbed the wrong way. Moot point!

Johnny Carson had the most people watching in the buff of any host in any day part in any country. Most people watched on their "second set" in the bedroom. It took the ratings comanies a while to figure out how to measure it!

I'm 88yo and I was a great fan! J Leno wasn't bad, but I stopped watching The Tonight Show after he left! Although this was a biography! I still don't know whom he disliked! It's a shame they can't do anything right anymore!

jesus christ.......how long dz it take to get to what the title's abut? ans = NEVER!!!! Hate clickbait.........bstrds

Johnny Carson was just a person nothing more. No different than anyone else. Who cares who he couldn’t stand. Many people could stand him.

Carson had many demons including fear of entertainers who were superior to him. The best host of the Tonight Show was Steve Allen.

So she first betrays his friendship, and then accuses him of being a sexist?! This after she herself admitted that Johnny Carson gave her the big break that she needed early in her career! Reprehensible.

If it weren't for Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of television, we'd still be eating frozen radio dinners.

not many liked bob hope anyway.

Nobody can like everybody. .. Johnny was REAL.

What a great tip about the timing and the flow of my swing. Yes I have a problem with my 3 wood so now it sits in my bag. So much better contact with my 5 and 7 woods. At 72 now I have to remember I'm not 25 anymore! Love the game and the tips Danny. They keep me loving the game!

Jimmy Calas, Bob Hope. There, I saved you 23 minutes and a lot of hot air.

Fast forward to 20:51... It's Charlie Callas.... You're welcome

I saw the Carson show in the 70's and during a commercial you could tell he and Freddy De Cordova (the producer) got into a little tiff. I think they resolved it before the commercial ended. Carson was his usual GREAT host but he barely engaged the audience, probably because he was so painfully shy. Still, the best night talk show I've seen. Runner up is Letterman.

Why why WHY was Jason Bateman tagged as Carson’s son?! Sheesh!

Fake heading

Save your time. It was Bob Hope (jealousy), Joan Rivers (sexism and her leaving his show) and Charlie Callis (a playful shove gone wrong). This video was long for absolutely no reason. Skip it.

Most of the pictures used to represent the grown Ricky Carson are not him...I Knew Ricky well especially as the best man in my Wedding!

The manager of the Palm Springs Airport revealed to me that, in his elderly years, Bob Hope would come to the airport late at night and walk the empty halls of baggage claim. True story.

8:48 I don't know who Rick is but apparently, it's one of Carson's sons. However, when speaking of Rick, you show back-to-back clips of Justin Bateman even labeling one with the caption "RICK".

I heard Hope was very self centered and a real ladies man. He pressured women of all kinds to just give in to his urges and it was like notche's on his bedpost and his wife suffered thru. Yes, Seems he was a control freak!

My sympathies for this man. He was real

He was a great entertainer regardless of his personality in private.

GET. TO. THE. POINT!!!! This is a biography and CLICKBAIT!!!

Seems it was Bob Hope

The Golden Rewind of Johnny Carson by a besotted fan - hooray!

Many thanks !
