Craig Ferguson said that. He said that when Johnny retired, they should have renamed the show. Jay Leno Tonight was his suggestion. It would have given Jay the "Tonight" name in the title but not trample on Johnny's legacy.

Shows now have forgotten Johnny’s rule: don’t comment on social issues, or you won’t be funny anymore. Jay Leno and David Letterman respected this rule and they were the last of the truly funny shows.
Today Stephen Colbert does nothing BUT talk politics, when he is not insulting half his audience lecturing them to kiss the woke movement's ass at every turn.
The thing I liked about Carson was how he didn't push his own politics, unlike todays late night hosts. Carson joked about politicians of all stripes. I miss that.
As a kid, i LOVED Johnny Carson - The Great Carnac! I remember watching this interview and being mesmerized by the way the waves look like they're coming into the window behind them & just had to find this interview to see if i remembered that correctly.
I like Johnny Carson, in this interview you see a serious and funny man. Barbara seems to be more relaxed and maybe that’s because they were such good friends!
John William Carson (Corning, Iowa; 23 de octubre de 1925-West Hollywood, California; 23 de enero de 2005) fue un presentador, comediante, escritor y productor de televisión estadounidense. Es conocido sobre todo como el presentador de The Tonight Show, protagonizado por Johnny Carson (1962-1992). Carson recibió 6 Premios Emmy, el Premio del Gobernador de la Academia de Televisión de 1980 y un Premio Peabody en 1985. Fue incluido en el Salón de la Fama de la Academia de Televisión en 1987. Fue galardonado con la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad en 1992 y recibió un Kennedy Center Honor en 1993.
I watched Johnny Carson on the Late Show from time to time growing up as a kid in the 70s and I enjoyed a lot of it but it's not a show that I watched all the time however now that so many years have went by and seeing the state of the world today it makes me miss those days. He reminds me of an era that we lived and will never get back, kinda like the original Star Trek series or The Walton's which I did watch a lot of, it was a magical era looking back.
My first thought in seeing this another time after many years, pertained to erosion and rising sea level. I wonder if the property has ever been impacted by storms or been water damaged. The interview was unique, particularly in seeing Carson at home. I did not find the exchange very penetrating, though there were opportunities had Walters recognized them or chosen to follow up. Historically, there's meaning, but mostly shallow fluff...

That would be acknowledging the copyrights.
@@January. I know what you are saying. Emphysema and lung cancer took my dad's life due to smoking. By Hollywood standards, I think they consider someone who is thin to be fit.
Being physically fit and physically healthy are two totally different things. You can be really fit, and not very healthy, and you can be very healthy and not very fit. Carson was very fit but not at all healthy.
No one even comes CLOSE to Johnny Carson. Especially today. Johnny mentioned not talking about personal views or the comedy would suffer. That's being demonstrated today on every late night talk show. They're not funny, they're just whinny, petulant, over paid individuals who parade around as comedians.
I loved the show but have grown to dislike the man as time went on and more was learned about who he really was. Its true that power corrupts and it certainly took its toll on his mind and personality, but yet he was too weak with women and in relationships in general. Its so ridiculous what some of these men allow to happen to themselves with women😢
@@carriedillmann4455 His first wife was Joan "Jody" Wolcott ; I don't know where the Jody comes from but Carson always referred to his first wife as Joan and their 3 children were not adopted.
You can clearly see here how insecure Johnny remained his entire life...he simply can not bring himself to the point of vulnerability....which means he would be nearly impossible to have a relationship with because he would always be feeling threatened by the tiniest self-revelation.....you think the reasons he couldn't stay married were the fault of his wives? Beautiful women, which his wives certainly were, do not seek divorce from a man as attractive in so many ways as was Johnny Carson.....
I loved Johnny,but I know for a fact he had a granddaughter that was black & he refused to even acknowledge her! A dna study was done & she was rightfully his blood! After he talked about it I lost all respect for the man!
She is great usually but this is the worst interview I've ever seen her do and that sucks because I love Johnny Carson and generally I love her Work...
There's no way he was cleaning that house by himself lol He was such a decent man her questions were so dum this interview 🙄 they both by this time were divorced multiple times and she has the nerve to ask what does it feel like
He always kept his show classy. He left political subjects out. People watched him to laugh and be entertained. He didn't get political. He stayed away from politics. There will never be another classy comedian host like Johnny Carson ever again. All the comedians now-a-days use politics for their personal gain and for their paycheck 🙄. It's disgusting. I don't even watch TV anymore because of that. And I don't miss it either. 👍 Johnny Carson, you're a legend. May you rest in peace. 🙏
Carson did not stay away from politics. I watched The Tonight Show all through the 1970s and 1980s. He dealt with it in a way that would make people laugh. For example, he spoke in this video of the faux pas of James Watt (who had been Reagan's Secretary of the Interior) in a light-hearted, funny way.
it's 2023... and we miss ya Johnny... NO ONE will ever replace you
Totally agree ... "NO ONE"!
NOOOOO one... @@judygrancich3756
Johnny had one of the greatest speaking voice that ever graced television
Deep, sexy. 🤪
Thirty years after he left the Tonight Show, something has become so crystal clear. Johnny Carson was The Tonight Show.
Craig Ferguson said that. He said that when Johnny retired, they should have renamed the show. Jay Leno Tonight was his suggestion. It would have given Jay the "Tonight" name in the title but not trample on Johnny's legacy.
I kept waiting for a wave to break over the deck rail.
JOHNNY WAS THE BEST...STILL WATCH HIS RERUNS...LEFT US MUCH TO SOON..RIP JOHN AND BARB✝️❤️
I was a nighthawk, used to do my homework startin* at around 10 pm. to 2:30 ish, and I couldn’t wait till Johnny to come on.
Younger people won't understand but he was the best late night host. No political BS or ass kissing.
Well there was a lot of political bs but he made it hilarious for everyone. Genius.
The waves crashing in the back of your house is a great sign you’ve done well…
@Jack cleary: The people of a small island country can attest to that.
Do you all think Johnny had a good time with Barbara after this interview? He was the king!! No one can ever be as good as he was!!
not everyone wants or desires to live near an ocean and especially that part of the country.

@@BrYStJohn Wow !!!!!
I was thinking the same thing!!
This was not his later home high up on the cliff, overlooking Paradise Cove.

conan was funny too
Letterman and Conan have talked about political issues. Both have revealed they are politically liberal.
Today Stephen Colbert does nothing BUT talk politics, when he is not insulting half his audience lecturing them to kiss the woke movement's ass at every turn.
You were watching a different David Letterman that I was watching. David had a big left leaning in his monologue. Not at all like Carson.
@@rwags7466 What the heck did I literally just say above?
Johnny had a lot of humility ...very cool, for such a big star 🌟 🤩 ✨
Johnny Carson was the best conversationalist and nobody has equaled his ability to have fun talking with people that just happen to be famous.
the waves are amazing
Two legends, incredible interview and some things Johnny says ring so true today.
The thing I liked about Carson was how he didn't push his own politics, unlike todays late night hosts. Carson joked about politicians of all stripes. I miss that.
As a kid, i LOVED Johnny Carson - The Great Carnac!
I remember watching this interview and being mesmerized by the way the waves look like they're coming into the window behind them & just had to find this interview to see if i remembered that correctly.
Excellent pair of personalities that both had “it”, with the ability to capture and keep the viewer’s attention. Simply superb!
Rest In Peace Both Legends 🙏🙏🙏🙏.
Class act. We miss ya Johnny!
Johnny Carson was an incredible
late night😂
Great interview of a great man who was hard to interview.
I like Johnny Carson, in this interview you see a serious and funny man. Barbara seems to be more relaxed and maybe that’s because they were such good friends!
I miss Johnny so much. I watch the reruns 6 days a week
Johnny was in a class by himself. Such an icon and so truly missed!
JC is/was a REMARKABLE MAN. He was actually a star maker...so many people owe their careers to JOHNNY.
My growing up tv friends
You're missed.
6:25 Johnny: "Comedians should stay out of serious politics and matters to remain funny". Boy, was Johnny smart.
Johnny was a jerk.
@@joetursi9573 guess you are sharper and cleverer than the 2/3 of people who watched him every night.
Johhny was very mean to Joan Rivers@@otrdriverchris
@@joetursi9573Yes, Johnny was brutal to Joan....who was so nice to Johnny she even jumped to her own talk show without even notifying Johnny.
She called him and he didn't respond .@@otrdriverchris

No doubt the absolute best
His quick wit always impressed me. His genuine laugh made me smile.
Two legends ! I loved the interview very much ! Barbara told it likre it is and Johnny was funny and loved his show !
Other than "acknowledged" being misspelled on the screen, I enjoyed the interview!
yeah, that was my bad....
Johnny was the Best…PERIOD.

One of the Great Greats. !
That sofa is about to swallow them up!
He is spot on. I also have very close friends that I talk to.
RIP to both of them.
He seemed very guarded. When he retired from the tonight show he completely disappeared.
2 Legends RIP
Johnny was a Legend, Barbara was also. No harm, no foul, very Professional.
I miss this man so very much.❤
we all do!!!

Back then we all stayed up to watch Johnny before going to bed...even at 1 AM...that's how special he was. The late night shows now are garbage.
His Carnac The Magnificent skits with sidekick Ed McMahon were memorable
Johnny sold this house soon after this interview and bought a home high on a cliff on Pt. Dume. It was more secure.
But he always felt his Mother didn’t love him
He wanted his Mother to love and respect him
So sad
220k per month settlement... a reminder of why you never get married.
Back when barbera was enjoyable

As a man, no one wants to fail because you don't want to be a failure.
TG the short shorts have not come back
6:28 Boy, is that true to this day. Mentioning no names.
Those short shorts.
Amazing how many high notoriety people have come from Nebraska or the Midwest. Warren Buffet…
The Mike Wallace interview was a bit better but this was quite good!
Man, Barbara always did the most powerful interviews. She was sexy, smart and could have been a great interrogation tool in the wars.
Acknowledged
💕
@lovesvegas Why did you edit this interview?
So glad not to hear her anymore. I forget how that voice registered.
Somebody should spell "acknowleded" correctly.
"Perfect day ...doing what Lord, wants 🙏 you to do 😃

She interviewed Johnny Carson differently from other people.
So?
I think Jonny was a very sexy fella x
This tape is horrible quality stuff gets cut out
How relevant was his comment about political statements..wow..he said the comedy suffers. Look at all the late night guys now who used to be funny.
Spell check??
Was the luckiest man in the world, what he did was not worth millions of dollars,please he didn't do anything Steve Allen wasn't already doing
The Crown should have passed to Letterman not the chin on legs…
A new womance!
Barbara was so hot back then
How?
Physically fit? The guy smoked like a chimney ffs🤪
He smoked a lot, but he was an avid tennis player and he was always fit and trim.
@@Rob_Kates Having a smoker's cough and emphysema isn't being fit.
@@January. I know what you are saying. Emphysema and lung cancer took my dad's life due to smoking. By Hollywood standards, I think they consider someone who is thin to be fit.

Being physically fit and physically healthy are two totally different things. You can be really fit, and not very healthy, and you can be very healthy and not very fit. Carson was very fit but not at all healthy.
Barbra Walter’s was genuinely a horrible interviewer. I don’t understand how it became her job
Jim Carey should have listened to his advice. Taking political stances makes you less funny.
did she just say that Johnny was "58," and "as physically fit as a man in his 50s"?
No, 30s. Its an audio glitch
I heard 30s
I played it back five times. She says "50's". Baba Wawa.
@@keithhyttinen8275 nah.. it's the audio fault; she definitely said 30's.
Those were some short shorts.

And had kids that he adopted
