    Would give anything to be a kid again and from my bed (after my parents made me go to bed) hear Johnny Carson's voice coming from the TV in the living room and hear my dad laughing while sitting in his recliner. R.I.P. Johnny. R.I.P. Dad.

      Bill Gram told a great joke about a guest preacher at some church that was supposed to speak for about 15 minutes.
      Well, the guy really got into it and was still talking after a half hour.
      That's when the churches regular preacher sitting behind him couldn't stand it anymore and picked up a Bible and threw it at the guest preacher.
      The Bible missed the preacher and hit a woman seated in the front pew.
      She said in a loud voice "HIT ME AGAIN! I CAN STILL HEAR HIM".

      They've all been subjected to the politics of the day. The display of political compliance/obedience was just as prevalent then as it is now. The only difference was back then it was technically easier to dupe people in those days into buying whatever they were selling, as their audience had little in the form of a communication forum to discuss and banter current ideas and issues back and forth.
      Today, talk show hosts like Seth Myers and Jimmy Kimmel are much more loyal to one side of any given issue as are their audience members. Thus we have what *appears to be a cohesive culture prevailing in America.

    Many times, Carson's greatest gift was his ability to be silent and let the guest have the floor and the stage and carry on. Then his poker face, and the excellent direction in the booth made it prize winning! These days hosts like Jimmy Fallon must upstage the guest at all times and at all costs. Often the cost is the humor that Carson was able to elicit time and again.

      Pryor was laughing at the doctor because the doctor is tactless and ceaseless. Both times that the doctor interacted with pryor, the doctor made it about race. That is exhibit A, when you address someone and the first and only thing you see is race even when the matter at hand is not race.
      Secondly, when Carson injected Pryor back into the conversation with a fictitious quip about Pryor's children, the doctor again makes the interaction about race but then says that when a black parent brings a black child to him (the doctor) for a skin rash, suggests that he (the doctor himself) cannot see any rash because the child is black. The suggestion is that he can only see black, as if to say that a rash is not visible if the skin is of a black person. This is exhibit B and exhibit C is that at precisely this moment, Pryor stops laughing and takes a sober demeanor, presumably because the doctor was no longer a funny buffoon to him (Pryor) but instead, a rude, glib and casually racist old man.
