Judge Wapner is 66 years old here. He passed away in 2017 at the age of 97. Awesome longevity.

Not as gold as "it better be more!"

Could be one of the only times Johnny sat in the guest chair on his own show. Either way he's so missed. And hat's off to Judge Wapner for being a good sport here and for his own show's longevity back in those days. RIP to both. :(

There was nothing better on late night TV than Dave at his prime. Carson, the King of Late Night, never lost his touch. These were giants at the height of their craft. What a treasure to be able to capture those moments & share them.

I was 2 weeks away from turning 14 years old when this first aired. It was so funny then as it is now! What a wonderful time that was and to be that age. School had just finished, so it was summer break and I could stay up late and watch the great night tv we had. I remember plenty times staying up late on school nights just to watch Carson and Letterman. Had a small black and white tv in my room that only caught the local stations, which thankfully aired these absolute legends. Had the volume so low… cause if Mom knew I was still up and watching tv on a school night… there’d be hell to pay. How I miss those days, I’m 51 now. Thanks for the great memories.

@kindablue1959 6 ай бұрын

This was TV comedy - heavily managed and censored. Almost all of these comedians worked blue in comedy clubs and in private and were often very cutting and vicious towards others they disliked. Carson was notoriously mean spirited and had a number of feuds with celebrities like Wayne Newton and Raymond Burr.

Some people say Letterman didn't get the Tonight Show after Johnny retired because Jay Leno is a rat, but this must prove that Johnny held a grudge and didn't put in a good word.

Actually Johnny loved Letterman's talent. He appeared on Dave's show several times, even right after NBC/GE decision ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLWJfdB_nNrJp6s.html ), to give his support. According to the book and the TV movie, both titled "The Late Shift", NBC believed Jay's style appeared to broader audience for that time slot. And Jay knew how to please NBC executives while Dave didn't. Johnny was in an awkward position to say anything, but he was not happy with NBC's decision, and advise Dave to leave. Now we can find a number of videos showing Dave and Johnny on each other's show. But I do not remember Johnny ever went on Jay's program.
