Johnny Carson is still the best night show host in my lifetime, and I'm now an old fart of 65.
@pronemanoldbutyoung55483 ай бұрын
I'm 50 and yes, Johnny is the King of late night. I had no idea basically about Johnny when I was a kid. And kids have no interest in late night talk shows. I started watching Letterman in mid 1990s. But in later years I've been watching everything Johnny Carson that I found on KZfaq and he is above everything and everybody. I think I started watching Johnny Carson for real in around 2015-2016. If my memory serves me well.

It’s great to look at this example of Rich, Little and his absolute prime just completely killing it. I was a Carson addict by age 10 which was 1975. I’ve stayed up too late ever since I think I’m a musician. Anyway, it helps me remember how formative Rich Little was To my sense of humor to this day. When he was on, there was nobody better at what he did. Not even close.

RIch was 35 then. I remember seeing him as a supporting actor on the 1966 one-season run of "Love On a Rooftop" (1966-67) with the late Peter Deuel (later Duel) and the wonderful, late Judy Carne. [*] Just a year before her big break on Laugh-In. A marvelous tv season, that the previous mid-season (Jan. 12, '66) started with the "Batman" craze that lasted a whole 2 years (Mar. 14, '68).

Oh NO !! I really wouldn't say that Johnny is particularly Tolerant about someone or anyone doing impressions of him !!!! Especially since he had "Everyone's beloved Rich Little, BANNED FROM THE SHOW!" Johnny would be better off, to just appreciate the compliment and laugh along, because it truly is a compliment, when they think enough of you to notice and recognize you to want to copy you!! At least have enough tolerance to enjoy it, and laugh along with everybody, and be a good sport about it !!! Don't take yourself so seriously, and be that anally uptight about it !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

14.10 finally it shows Johnny Carson getting pissed off with rich impersonating him. I have watched this clip lots and you can tell Johnny is pissed and finding it annoying. Shame because I love Rich little and the old shows are so great. even today Rich makes me laugh. But I think that clip finally shows why Johnny didn’t want him on the show afterwards. I think you can see it on Johnnys face in other shows here and there he just hated Rich doing his voice. I agree Rich little’s best impression is Johnny Carson. I love the golf impression he did on one show and this show the tennis impression was hilarious.

Rich Little's spot-on impersonation allegedly got under the thin skin of Carson, and he was permanently banned from appearing on the Tonight Show without notice or reason after his August 1982 appearance. Little claims in his biography that he was banned because Carson was offended by his impression.

I miss Johnny and this type of show so much, it was defiantly a very different time (the bad and the good). I started watching Johnny as a teenager around 1981 or so. My family was in the nightclub business so staying up late was not a problem. Benny Hill and Monty Python's Flying Circus were favorites in my house. I would also watch Tom Hatten (Family Film Festival on KTLA 5), Mr. Rogers, Dusty's treehouse and Villa Alegre. Television was better back then, ABC's Wide world of Sports (the thrill of victory...the agony of defeat!) and Monday Night Football. MAN, I REALLY MISS THOSE DAYS! I'm 54 now and have very fond memories of that time. God Bless Johnny, Ed and gang!
