This show I never got tired of and there never was a dull moment on his show ! !

This is why Carson will always be the greatest. His sincere appreciation for all disciplines of the performance arts. And his respect for all types of performers.

I enjoyed Marcel Marceau’s ironic cameo in Mel Brooks’ film, Silent Movie. Edit: Ironic, because he speaks in the film. A mime speaking, for the first time on film, in a movie that is completely silent. Brilliant.

I've been blessed to have seen Marcel Marceau live in the 70's at St Louis Powell Hall. Thoroughly captivating. "The Alchemist " act was otherworldly. Always a Marcel Marceau fan. A true Legend of the Arts 💜

love how Johnny steps into mime . We ought remember how he climbed into the business from being a magician to being one of the greatest entertainers of all time. He eventually not only took time off but had the network pay for it . Brilliant!

i loved listening to Marcel Marceau mime on the radio growing up

I always loved him. ❤️

I had a buddy who was a black belt in Aikido he performed these same things to me and others. It was amazing the things he could do....

Fascinating man….talented. I think you have to study people so strongly…

Miss you Johnny.

Marcel Marceau was Johnny's guest many times. Johnny always came across as fascinated with Marcel's skill which drew me in. Two legends that were always great.

Marcel sure was great! Incidentally, I had a girlfriend who was a mime. One day she just left without saying a word.

I didn't know until I just watched a movie. Marcel is a war hero. Bless him.

Marcel Marceau and Johnny Carson are two legends!

I miss these times. I mostly regret I did nor fully embrace the beauty of them at that time. It truly was the greatest peak of humanity.

Resistance was on TV last night which was about him in WWII, he saves thousands of lives.

Oh that was brilliant! I loved Johnny C learning from the genius Marcel! It has to be one of my favourite uploads so far! Thank you so much for sharing it with us so everyone can learn about the art of mime from the Master!

I listened to this interview with the sound off and it made better sense.

too good , truly.

A great artist and a great war hero.

Fun stuff... I have to comment though regarding The video portion where Johnny is asked to lift Marcel and at first he can and then Marcel tells Johnny to lift him again and Johnny can't lift him. Marcel's claim is that energy is pulling him towards the floor - what Marcel does is one of the oldest tricks in the world. You can make the same claim to a friend that you have the ability of using your energy to draw you toward the ground. Here's what you do and it's exactly what Marcel did:. In the same manner as shown on the show ask someone to lift you from behind but stiffen your body. They'll be able to lift you up. Then have them release their hold and slump and loosen your body, If they can even get you a quarter of an inch off the floor it's quite a feat. This is exactly what Marcel does in this demonstration. First he stiffens his body making it easy for Johnny to lift him then on the second try he simply totally relaxes body and Johnny has difficulty. No magic or mysterious energy is here just basic physics. But I agree with the others Johnny was an absolute treasure at what he did Jay Leno was too. Best of all both Johnny and Jay when you watched them on The Tonight show, you had no idea what their political beliefs were or their political party; they were there to entertain everybody, All of us who were watching, as one big family. Something that is sorely missed in today's late night talk shows - they could learn a lot from Johnny and Jay.

No solo el lenguaje gestual y el dominio del cuerpo para expresar, sino que también con una cuota siempre de humor. Marcel Marceu extraordinario

Just wonderful! Miss'em both.

Marcel was the greatest.

Buddy Hacketts line “I knew it, it’s a girls bike” stole the moment.

EXCELLENT ❤️❤️❤️

Bravissimo !!!

Never a dull moment here until now

That bulldog in the brown suit is ridiculous in this episode, which is one of the best.

I just watched a movie about Marcel and the French resistance. He saved thousands of children from the Nazis

I remember him he was on Ed Sullivan show a lot great artist

Johnny Carson is a National treasure

I got seasick just watching him!

Marcel Marceau Fierté de la France pour le monde.

Just a different era- does anyone in show business work harder than Johnny or Mr. Marceau?

Love ❤️

Awesome

That combover..... ugh

"But I made you a fortune with the talking Marcel Marceau doll!"

What the world needs is more frickin mimes.....😀

As you're uploading these new excellent videos, might you please in the description say who the other guest(s) are please, especially for those a little younger who can't recognise who are on the chairs! Thanks so much for these incredible uploads. I've rediscovered my love of Buddy Hackett!

I love you Johnny

Born to Jewish parents, Marceau changed his name because he needed to hide during the war, choosing “Marceau” to honor a historic French general.

A rough gem to polish, Jonny had to go n flow to keep it there . ❤

😍😍😍😍😍

"Peter Fonda is Richard Petty in 'The Marcel Marceau Story" - Mike, MST3K episode Riding With Death

Can you show this episode with Buddy Hackett? Thanks!

The good ole days… Before KZfaq

This guy taught Michael Jackson his dance moves. Really.

The 1970’s was perhaps the prime of The Tonight Show. Edgy enough because the times allowed it. Brave enough because people were allowed to talk about social issues without censorship. Funny enough because people could take a joke and not get easily offended. The talk shows today are a joke, doesn’t matter if they’re late night, early morning or afternoon. Celebrities like Kylie Jenner are cardboard, they are so one dimensional and boring it’s probably better if the host didn’t have anybody. What happened in this Tonight Show clip could never happen again. America has two younger generations that are extremely sensitive and the controlling of everything by big corporations ensures that money is all that matters.

What's the date of this show

I wonder what happened to this particular desk that he has here in this video...

I think he meant Chinese, not Japanese. Chi is prana, I think...Chinese medicine & philosophy. Prana is associated with Ayurveda and the yogic system.

ad this is why jerry lewis was a killer in france

He Looks a bit like Gene Wilder.. o.O

he was a talking mime.

"Optical illusion" Just bends knees... k

Wait...Marcel can talk?!

✋

This is a lost art , probably wouldn't work in today's society. This generation doesn't get this kind of stuff and doesn't have the attention span!

No disrespect, but... I don't get it. I know what mimes do, but is this really all that impressive? He was far more interesting during the interview than performing.

🏴‍☠ I hate Mimes. Mimes are evil. Mimes do unspeakable things nobody ever talks about.

I may be the rebel in this bunch here. But pantomime always seemed silly to me. I understand it was a fad back in the 60s and 70s, but today…? When something is popular everyone seems to become interested in someway. I understand that.

That's making me seasick! Really!

I don't get it! His chi stuff was nonsense, and his act to me was beyond boring. Oh well, to each their own I guess!

Being the greatest mime is silly. Like being the greatest farting tap dancer.

I have a few of his RECORDINGS.

MOST FAMOUS MIME... LOL ARE THERE ANY OTHERS?
