I had no idea that "Here's your sign" dates back to 1989.

He had that audience in the palm of his hand! Great performance!

Bill Engvall saying “Here’s Your Sign” in front of Johnny Carson… what an experience.

That was a great routine…I laughed all the way through & laughed harder & harder as the routine continued. Can’t believe Johnny didn’t ask him over. He was FANTASTIC! Johnny “Here’s your sign”!

Look at that skinny little kid!!! LOL! Love Bill Engvall!!! Tried to take my walk listening to his Here's Your Sign CD back at the day. Hard to walk bent over laughing! 🤣🤣🤣

WOW, Johnny didn't even invite him over to the couch! That was funny as Hell!! Maybe Johnny needed a sign on this one.

Oh my, look how young he is! I just saw him on his final tour a couple of weeks ago and he was excellent. I miss him already and wished that his show had been twice as long.

I had no idea his "here's you sign" routine was this old-I have always loved it. I was just out of college that year-wow time flies

Love Bill Engval’s humor.

When Bill was starting out he toured local comedy shops and came into our town a couple of times. He was hilarious then and still is today. I remember at one of the those early shows we attended, and did his "Here's Your Sign" routine, he sold "I'm Stupid" signs to people after the show for $1 each. At the time I thought it was genius. He is doing his bit about being stupid and people actually paid a buck to buy a sign that said, "I'm Stupid." Those were exactly the people who should have been wearing that sign 😆

He just got better as time went by 😂😂😂😂😂😂

That wonderful sence of humor is so hard to find anymore.

2022 Bill still going strong he's the funniest 🤣😂 I think he's retiring to be with his family. Great guy.

He's so good even in the beginning.

Right out of the gate he is funny as hell. And he did 'Here's your sign" Great video!

And just think, we get to laugh with him and after all these years and his success, he still proves you can be funny and loved by millions without all the bad words and vulgar gestures.

Bill’s timing is great.

Oh my goodness! How young Bill is! Funny from the first too. So glad this came up on my feed.

Nothing like a great crowd that’s in a great mood. Makes everything even funnier. I actually saw this the night it aired. I laughed so hard. Kind of like I’m laughing now.

I've been watching Bill Engvall for years, since the Blue Collar Comedy Tour first came out, and this is the first time I've heard him talk about handing out stupid signs. Up until now I've heard his "Here's your sign" jokes as "You're overlooking some obvious signs to this situation, mister, so here's your sign" as in "Let me point that out to you".. Talking about handing out actual stupid signs makes so much more sense, so I guess there's my sign..

Happy Retirement, Bill! Thanks for the laughs! :)

Aw! So young! And, still as warm and adorable as ever! 💞💞💞

And that folks was the start of a long successful stand up career.

He's so young here! His voice!

I always love to watch Bill Engvall. And Johnny Carson as well...brings back great memories.

I saw this show. Now I remember Johnny launched so many comidians carriers it's just amazing.

Love this guy, he is a natural born comic.

I’ve been a fan of Bill Engvall for many years. I bought his standup comedy DVDs and those ‘Blue Collar Comedy Tour’ DVDs. When my husband and I went to Maryland for our youngest son’s wedding, we rented a nice cottage - - I had brought all those DVDs and they were a big hit with the relatives (who stayed with us at that cottage). It was very nice to see his first appearance, on the ‘Johnny Carson Show’ (I worked many PM and night shifts at our local hospital, and didn’t get to watch the ‘Johnny Carson Show’).

Just saw his farewell tour a couple weeks ago. Great as always!

It is great to see Bill Engvall on the Tonight show with Johnny. Bill is still at it, very funny guy, I love his humor. Great upload....

Never heard of this guy, but this was awesome!!

omg, how fun is this, that just popped up on my screen?! i love this. saw him and the gang live once, years ago. but this joke that he starts out with, turned into a song called “here’s your sign”. look it up, its too funny. hubby even sang it at karaoke a couple times. those lines were in the song. lol

When "here's your sign" played on my stereo cassette player I had to crawl to from my sofa to it to turn it off; I was laughing so hard. Breathe ☺️😅

He slayed!!! 😂😂😂

By the end of that I was in tears - so damn funny

I didn’t know you were on Carson!! You rocked it !!

Got to love Bill! He's the best! ❤😂❤

I’ve been watching him for years! I think he is adorable and hilarious I love funny handsome men! The best part about seeing this, I have always heard “here is your sign”! ! Now I know what the sign says “I’m stupid”! 😂

Glad to see this! I didn't hear about Engvall until about 1995. Same with Foxworthy.

Funny back then too. ❤️🙏

When he mentioned asking for directions made me think of when I was driving through Georgia years ago. I had got off the main road to just mingle around and got lost. I asked a guy out by a fence how to get back to the main road. It went something like this. "Well lady, ya take yourself on down yonder to the big red barn, well, it used to be red, looks kinda pink now. Turn left and keep yourself going till you come to Pete's pig farm, might not see 'em, but you'll smell 'em. Now, about three skips and you'll see 'old Bessies place, she has those pecan trees we go to every year. Turn left again at the Jenkins farm, his 'ole rusty tractor will be sitting out front, been there since Moby Dick was a minnow, and keep going....you'll see the main road."Told him thank you and went on. I thought oh goodness I will never find the main road......but by golly there it was.

Thank you! I needed a good laugh today! 😅💕

Bill Engval is the best!

OMG, I just literally put a comment on another older video of Bill's, and I said it would be cool to see some of his early stand-up, and this just popped up. I'm almost too excited to watch it now!!

One of my favorite all time comics with a great act. Here's Your Sign was part of the Blue Collar Tour with Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, and Larry the Cable Guy. Brilliant. And none of them were self-hating lefties eager to force everyone else do as they say, for safety. Truly American humor. Miss them. Loving this series of uploads, big thanks. Paz.

Bill you always do comedy proud!

He made an appearance on Star Search in 1984 and it could have made enough of an impression on Ed (who was hosting at the time) to get him to appear with Johnny...

A funny comedian with a clean routine. What a rare gem!

Didn't get the couch invite, but had the audience.

I watched this show in 89... and I had the privilege of seeing Bill's very last show in Salt Lake City just 1 year ago (plus 3 months). I still have my ticket from that show.

Without a doubt, one of my all time favorite comedians!

Just love him

I am going to see his show tomorrow! Can't wait!

First saw Bill in Brea, Ca..CA... early '80s ,became my favorite immediately. Here 's your sign older than this.

Real talent

WTF? He didn’t get called over? He was funny and is always funny

Thank the Lord for Bill and Jonny!

Absolutely loved this!!😂😂😂😂

Naturally Bill killed it … wonder if Johnny called him over

Lol I TELL YOU WHAT 🤣 😂😅🎉Love this Man. Bravo 👏

“I tell you what!” “What?” “I just told you.” Lmao

The here's your sign routines 5 the dorkfish one keeps me cracked up!😂

he had to be stressing up there, but he didn't show it. he's consistent any era.

Good series this "first appearance"!

Hahaha! I've bought three dogs in the same pet store. They just love me! 😁

If a guy laughs at his own jokes, that means he’s funny. 🙃

The best is when Bill (during Blue comedy) explains to his wife his airplane hit a deer!!

Good ole days.

A legend is born...

That was great

'When you're too cold, so you wear a sweater, but too hot, so you unbutton your shirt. 🤔

uh oh, carson didnt invite him to sit. thats not good, but at least he went on to be huge, despite that.

Saw this when it originally aired. Also, living in Metro Atlanta, when I saw it, I remembered that Delta flight that had two issues getting out of Dallas

Should have asked him over, Johnny. You don't often make that mistake with comedians, but you did with Bill.

I mean I knew it was a stupid person but I’ve never heard this bit of him explaining!😂

Saw that when it was on TV the first time.

I had no idea what here’s your sign meant until today.

He’s cute

So good

Bizarre to see the "Here's Your Sign" set done in 1989! It seems so synonymous with comedy circa 2000, to see it done here so early in basically the same form is a little weird.

Little did Jeff know back then as he sat next to B.B. King, he would join him as a legendary Entertainer

Im crying from laughing! Thank you!

Oh wow. I've never seen this. And to think he's retiring this year :/

Bill is one of my favorite comedians. He always talks about how stupid people and life in general can be.

Well, well well it was not Mr. here’s your sign yourself. I wonder if Bill Engvall himself would come out on his own video about him being on Johnny Carson this many years ago

He was so cute.

The person that wrote those pamphlets, is the one now writing the disclaimers for the pharmaceutical companys.

Very funny stuff 🎉❤

Couldn't tell at the end, did Johnny call him over? Every comedian says that was his blessing and meant you had made it.

Bought a new toaster the other day,, SIGN said "May Burn Bread" here's the sign

The first joke I heard him tell: the answer to stop people being killed by a tornado is to build a fake trailer park about 10 miles outside of town. Tornadoes always go for trailer parks first.

First time I've seen this Bill Engvall stand up very funny. And I am over 60 and a Texan so I get it

I watched Bill's last and first stand up today

You could tell way back then. Wow.

Brilliant

Audience Rollllllllling !!!....Not a single F Bomb in sight.......I miss the the days when we were just " better" human beings.....

Thank you Bill for so "stupid" humor, proving life can be funny w/o 4-letter profanity! I saw a bumper sticker on a pick up truck that is so true and made me think of Bill - "God must love stupid people - He created so many!"

Funny stuff

Awesome.

A laugh track was added. It's not the audience in the studio.
