Johnny seemed like the perfect guy for late night, he wasn’t an over the top loud mouth like these guys we have today, he was a calm respectful interviewer who threw a joke in here and there and was actually funny, Live on Johnny!❤️🙏🕊

Who is the "over the top loudmouth" on talk shows today? I grew up in the 80's and loved Carson and Letterman. But this weird cherry-picked nostalgia is just so strange to me. Pick out a handful of pop culture things you like, and then declare unilaterally that "times were so much better back then." Just weird.

Carson had no equals. His secret wasn't a secret at all. He was just being Johnny, the most likeable host in television history. His comments about Richard Pryor are a perfect example of his humanity and a real concern for others. There is not a single moment in the entirety of the Tonight Show (while he was host) that was contrived. He was as real as it gets and for Hollywood that is damn near impossible to do.

You say that with zero context. Until the last 10 years, it was a lot easier to be non-partisan. The Right has become such a clown car of lies and anti-American ideals, it's kinda hard to treat them equally when telling jokes. And as a comedian, you go where the jokes are. And the vast majority of the jokes are on the Right. In the 80's, things were very, very different.

@mas58677 ай бұрын
AI says: The humor in this statement is derived from the surprising and somewhat absurd fact that humans and bananas share a significant amount of genetic material. The punchline, “which accounts for only 1% of the total DNA,” adds another layer of absurdity by implying that the vast majority of our DNA is still unaccounted for. It’s a form of humor that plays on our expectations and the incongruities of life.

@TheLarryBrown6 ай бұрын
@@mas5867 Who is "Al?" Man I'm sorry to say this joke is WAY over my head. Learning, here, that humans and bananas share a significant amount of DNA coding is surprising to me, yes, but I don't find it absurd nor funny. I knew that plants grow and reproduce according to a specific plan, so although I could not have told you that plants have DNA, now that I know, I find that logical, not absurd, and if they have DNA I would expect their DNA and ours to work somewhat the same, so I just don't find that absurd, nor funny. Maybe slightly amusing. The punchline is not explicit enough to be understood by a lay person like me. It would need clarification along the lines of what you have provided. The "total DNA" is unclear. To what does that refer? The total DNA of a human? the total DNA of a banana? The combined sum of DNA between humans and bananas? The total DNA in the universe? It's unclear and that makes for an unfunny joke. Thank you for the clarification, and maybe now I understand what is meant, but it's a weak joke that isn't even funny. I'm guessing it's some standard joke passed around amongst people that like to talk about such things.

There is nothing in popular media today that can match two old friends casually chatting about random topics. The late night shows mostly parody themselves and seem stuck in 2017. They're shiny and glossy on the surface, but just below that . . . there's more surface and little substance. Somebody needs to dig deeper and could learn from watching Dick Cavett, Steve Allen, Johnny, Letterman often, Jimmy K at his best, and Tom Snyder on radio or tv for lessons in how to talk to people and entertain an audience. Carson was the best of the best because he was and is so much better than all the rest.
