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.
Why am I watching a TV clip from 42 years ago and can't stop laughing, until I have tears? Oh, right, Johhny Carson and his guests. Kudos to Richard and Tim for their humility to a comedic moment.
This is hilarious. Pryor, Conway, Carson's responses. What makes it even more funnier is the Doctor who was so serious and nerdy that added to the laughter. Classic!
I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed the Carson show and his guests until trying to watch today’s television, all these Guy’s are gone now but the Dr. may still be talking!
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.
@@getyerkix Thanks that was interesting, I liked Jack but I always was inspired by Mel Blanc as I loved doing voices! That was awesome although Johnny was off that night!
Johnny Carson was the only talk show host that could laugh and make you laugh 10 times harder just by seeing him laugh. Pure genius and timing of a legend.
Richard prior saved my life when I was in college in the 70s - there was one dark Night when I stumbled over his new album and he brought me back to life. God bless this man.
that is very powerful. words are so amazing in the way they can connect or divide us but when hearing them spoken heals us somehow... what an experience! and what a mind he had. seems like the most painful bits wouldnt be something to joke about and turns out that maybe something great can come from the darkness. i thank the universe for comedy and for those that have been burdened with answering its call.
Went to see Richard Pryor Hear and Now in the movie theatre when came out. It was the first time I laughed in years! I couldn't catch my breath! Richard brought me out of a depression I didn't know I had. Probably saved my life.
Hey my friend Jesus Christ can do a whole lot better of giving you life and bringing you t o o life by saving your soul and setting free from Death hell in the grave for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh to the father but by me it is appointed as a man wants to die but after this the judgment.
@@savedbygrace6076 It's a shame you god can't teach you how to use the English language or give you an education. No wonder you believe in god. You have no intelligence.
Omg that’s fabulous. Just seeing Tim and Richard sitting side by side laughing makes it even better! I’m so happy Tim got that “” I was gonna ask your opinion “ out of his mouth. I thought they were gonna fall out 😂😂
When Johnny saw Richard and Tim struggling to contain their laughter and got the doctor to start talking directly to them, that was comedic brilliance.
Hearing Johnny's voice is so relaxing for me and I'm sure many others. When I was a kid, I would lay in bed and hear my parents listening to The Tonight Show. God, I miss those times.

@@zapwatt watched it again and you're reading way too much into what he said bro, I would hardly call his discourse with Pryor racist by any stretch of the imagination.
@@roddiener 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.
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.
It would be hard enough to out-talk any one of those guys, but to double-talk and non sequitur three of them into helpless laughter? Oh, that takes a tenth-degree black belt in linguistic aikido.
Richard Pryor's face when the doctor says he can't tell if a black child has a bruise or turning blue is hilarious. The pediatrician is trying to back peddle so hard.🤣🤣😆😆
Yeah bro you're exactly right. Haha that's what Richard Pryor used to and still does to me with his stand-up routines. He made me laugh non-stop sometimes for so long and hard I could barely breathe and would be crying. That's when you know someone's really funny. Eddie Murphy did the same thing to me with his routines
Back when comedy was truly gut wrenching funny and it didn't offend anyone. I miss the past more and more the more I watch these old shows I used to enjoy with my family growing up.
@@kingcassius2586 we don't fight more now than in early 2000s. I was in college then, to give context of my age. We fight differently, but not more I guess you are not familiar with all of the civil unrest in the 70s. Sorry to burst your bubble. You are just flat out mistaken.
@@nevergiveupnevergivein7655 that was more in the 60s. I'm Black, I remember the end of the 70s & my folks lived through Jim Crow. I gotta pretty good idea of what I'm talking about. I never said that there were NO problems. Things weren't perfect and we had and STILL have a lot of issues to work out.. but we sure as hell weren't at each other's throats like we are now. Ask before assuming, please.
That is not true. A 20 minute flight is only 1/3 of an hour. That means that an 8 hour flight is twenty-four times longer than your 20 minute flight. If you did sit beside the doctor, then mathematically speaking you could not have heard him for 8 hours while seated on a 20 minute flight. It would have to have been at least an 8 hour flight.
I am inclined to believe that this is a deliberate misunderstanding on your part, perhaps for comedic affect. But in the event that you are being genuine then you must know that the man was suggesting that the doctors conversation was so boring that 20 minutes felt like 8 hours.
@@NoahNelson-Smith or that the Dr. was so entertaining and interesting that the 8 hour trip only felt like 20 minutes. Before they new it, they had arrived at their destination.
I think you're right. With 3 comics on the stage, he decided he'd just keep going with random stuff. The bit about kids being in there every 20 minutes if you gave them the good cough syrup was comedy gold.
@@jimdavis2385 Exactly... the doc was intentionally funny there.... Richard and Tim were just too overwhelming for the doc to be able to pull off his comedic stuff
When the doctor asked if Tim was ticklish and he said not really Richard tickled him and he made that little funny face like he was laughing because of The anticle was hilarious
When my siblings and i were kids in California, a 5-year-old girl from New Jersey (heavy accent) moved in next door. She was a nonstop talker. As she was standing in our livingroom talking on and on, my older sister picked her up and held her upside-down. We all observed as she kept talking and talking no matter which way she was held - sideways, upside down, vertical, by the feet, etc. It was like a scientific observation experiment - fascinating. The little girl didn't notice anything odd.
We have an uncle that was doing this in the kitchen. We left and went shopping. When we got back? He was still talking to and answering himself and never knew we'd gone!!!
The NJ accent is really something...my momma had it and was raised by Irish immigrants. Elm and film were two syllables and she said tagger instead of tiger...I have been asked if I am from NJ ... 🤣 My nephews always said tagger because they spent so much time with my momma. ❤
@@mattr8251 Yes, you definitely want a doctor who: A. Is unable to see a rash or a flush on non-white skin and B. Has no problem admitting he regularly fakes diagnoses. I won't get into the predictive harm he did to the children whose lives he altered by casting them as troublemakers and performing his voodoo intervention (making that characterization because none of his other garbage was grounded his scientific reality) based solely on a galvanic response to feather tickling on "preferably naked" children's bodies.
I don’t think I have ever seen Richard Pryor so genuinely laughing like that. I wish the camera panned out to see what reaction him ant Tim were really having.
Especially when the doc was pretending to see a rash on a black child....Richard just kind of looked almost into camera with a slow burn. But he kept laughing!
It’s so nice to go back in time and watch Johnny Carson. Especially when he had guests like Richard Prior and Tim Conway on. They will never be another Johnny Carson☹️
I bought my mom the CD set of Carson’s best some years back before you could watch like this. One of the best gifts she ever got. There will never be a show this good ever again.
@@josephomally4244 Maybe. Maybe the guy was doing a bit, bringing out a personae just like Conway did on his numerous sketches. People take things WAY too seriously. Must be the times we live in.
@@josephomally4244 well if that were the case at least they were laughing. Plus both Richard and Tim had their time in the spotlight as they were on first that was the Dr's time. Plus it is all carefully planned out before had. It is called Hollywood
This kicks ass! Seeing two classic comedians being destroyed by this nerdy, verbose doctor, not to mention Johnny himself, is the content I'm here for.
Diamond s in the rough .lmao Imagine living with that Dr lmao,or spending a weekend on holiday skiing or whatever, obviously with some killer mushrooms and some speed to take the edge off LMAO 🤣
Which is what we USED to do with late night. I would have never known their stupid politics if they just kept to actually being funny. And yes, their political jokes were funny when they were using it as a joke, and they joked BOTH sides of the political spectrum. Funny is funny, hosts tirades about social justice, jerking tears about life, isn't funny, isn't cute, and I turned off a long time ago. To all of them. Now they are loser hacks, with bad writers, or with motives we don't come to late at night to relax!
The good Dr. was speaking truth and reality. The host and other two clowns were competing for their own laughs and attention. They had they're moment in the spotlight, and now they have all passed on. The 🔚
The comment was funny and isn’t it amazing that there was no cry of “racism “. Richard Pryor just gave that hysterical look! Everyone knew the comment was born out of not dealing with children of color, not to be offensive to any race. I miss those days when you could laugh at the inexperience of people instead of assuming they have hate in their comments.
He was ahead of the times in children’s medicine. Parents were brainwashed by the dairy industry advertising to give their children milk and it was causing so many health problems and he spoke about that frequently on his TV show.
You are right! It’s hard to really know if he knows how funny he actually is and I think he does but yet his manner is so continuous and flowing that it totally scooped all of the other seasoned comedians on that bench. Johnny Richie and Tim could not sync as fast as this guy was talking! Totally amazing! Don’t know how I stumbled onto this video but I’m glad I did.
@@RevMarket - You are making a "joke" based on "LMAO"? Wow. So, if the OP had used "ROTFL," would you have replied, "how are you typing while rolling on the floor?" Ba dump bump.
@@BlufordSF like current television, still? Under complete control from the side that swears they have your back, no matter what, but never show it, no matter what. Yeah, keep tipping the glass, there might be a drop of kool-aid left where you got your fill of that notion.
I've known a handful of people in my life who, like Dr. Smith, were physically unable to stop talking; including my own mother. So many times the rest of us in the room would just sit back and laugh. 🙂
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.

I’d die a happy person if I could’ve made Richard Pryor, Johnny Carson & Tim Conway laugh uncontrollably!
That would be just so incredible. The doc could say he had Richard Pryor in tears
Well, but probably not for the reason they were laughing.
What is it about your death that you think would make them laugh so much?
Yeah, but they weren’t laughing out of respect for his humor. They were laughing because he was missing social cues, and he was weird.
For all the times Tim trashed Harvey on 'The Carol Burnett Show', this had to be a gentle karmic comeuppance for Tim. XD
When you have Richard Pryor & Tim Conway sitting next to one another , you know there’s about to be fun times going down . #Legends
That would have been a interesting movie if they did one together.
Two of the greats for sure. You are spot on. Too bad Harvey could not have been there as well.
What an amazing point in time when everyone could just laugh at each other
If that happened today, there would be outrage at some of the things the doc said. Those were the days
We still can you silly goose

We are still at that point.
Loved the old generation. Reminds me of my dad, awesome sense of humor, born of character.

For some reason I can’t stop laughing. I love this guy. Johnny can’t stop that train! He’s got some things to say! “Kids with blue eyes get beaten by their grandmother”. Holy smokes! Too funny!
These were the good ole days. Gosh, I miss it terribly! My Daddy always watched Johnny Carson.
If you can make Tim Conway AND Richard Pryor laugh like that, you're a good human.
Yeah, a good, racist human.
@@zapwatt how do you mean? Did I miss something?
@@roddiener
Watch it again and listen very, very closely to what the doctor says to Pryor. Twice the doctor says racist things to Pryor.
@@zapwatt watched it again and you're reading way too much into what he said bro, I would hardly call his discourse with Pryor racist by any stretch of the imagination.
@@roddiener
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.
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.
Well,don’t watch todays hosts then….geez!
@@DippyHippie we don’t. 😂
Mr. Carson also had, great timing.
Definitely. They're mainly narcissists now and Carson was not. He truly cared about people and the world around him.
@@TheLitehart1 I'm not sure Johnny's ex wives would agree with you.
This guy sat with three comedy legends and they all wound up being his straight men.
HE is the legend!
Genius observation. SO true !
It would be hard enough to out-talk any one of those guys, but to double-talk and non sequitur three of them into helpless laughter? Oh, that takes a tenth-degree black belt in linguistic aikido.
@@LisaDavis1 A legend among legends. I'm hunting for more stuff with him. I badly need a giggle this morning.
Yes
To see those two great comedians laughing so hard is priceless. 🤣
Richard Pryor's face when the doctor says he can't tell if a black child has a bruise or turning blue is hilarious. The pediatrician is trying to back peddle so hard.🤣🤣😆😆
Richard Pryor said more with that look than that doctor said in the entire video.
@BEVINNE MORSE "I know about ashing!"
Carson started it. The doctor ran with it and didn’t know how to get out of it. Love Pryor and Conway making each other laugh.
Pryor was one of a kind!!!
@@wheelz-2997 I thought I heard that.
You are doing good when Richard Pryor is laughing hard enough to cry
Lmasssso
Especially when you’re not trying to be funny.
I thought Pryor was crying so hard he laughed!
So true lol...and Tim was used to being the one to make everyone on the stage lose it. Not on this night.
Yeah bro you're exactly right. Haha that's what Richard Pryor used to and still does to me with his stand-up routines. He made me laugh non-stop sometimes for so long and hard I could barely breathe and would be crying. That's when you know someone's really funny. Eddie Murphy did the same thing to me with his routines
The director of this show should have done some more cut-away reaction shots of Richard and Tim to the Doctor's nonstop screed.
That would be Bobby Quinn. Yes you are right. He should have! Or zoom in on the fastest moving lips in TV history!!
Oh my God. He just goes on and on.
@@edp3202 I am CRYING listening to this nonstop dialog!
@@kirnpu and we've all met people like this. 😬
@@edp3202 Preferably only once!
Back when comedy was truly gut wrenching funny and it didn't offend anyone. I miss the past more and more the more I watch these old shows I used to enjoy with my family growing up.
There were some jokes that should offend people because they were genuinely offensive.
Me too ...people take themselves to seriously these days.
@@nevergiveupnevergivein7655 true but we still understood that it was a joke. People fight more now than in the late 70s-early 2000s.
@@kingcassius2586 we don't fight more now than in early 2000s. I was in college then, to give context of my age. We fight differently, but not more
I guess you are not familiar with all of the civil unrest in the 70s. Sorry to burst your bubble. You are just flat out mistaken.
@@nevergiveupnevergivein7655 that was more in the 60s. I'm Black, I remember the end of the 70s & my folks lived through Jim Crow. I gotta pretty good idea of what I'm talking about. I never said that there were NO problems. Things weren't perfect and we had and STILL have a lot of issues to work out.. but we sure as hell weren't at each other's throats like we are now. Ask before assuming, please.
I sat next the doc once on a plane for eight hours- it was a 20 minute flight...
Kirk Johnson aka Pat McCormick (comedian and writer on The Tonight Show during Johnny's tenure).
That is not true. A 20 minute flight is only 1/3 of an hour. That means that an 8 hour flight is twenty-four times longer than your 20 minute flight. If you did sit beside the doctor, then mathematically speaking you could not have heard him for 8 hours while seated on a 20 minute flight. It would have to have been at least an 8 hour flight.
LMFAO
I am inclined to believe that this is a deliberate misunderstanding on your part, perhaps for comedic affect. But in the event that you are being genuine then you must know that the man was suggesting that the doctors conversation was so boring that 20 minutes felt like 8 hours.
@@NoahNelson-Smith or that the Dr. was so entertaining and interesting that the 8 hour trip only felt like 20 minutes. Before they new it, they had arrived at their destination.
I think the Dr. was doing his own comedy act, just that nobody else knew it.
I think you're right. With 3 comics on the stage, he decided he'd just keep going with random stuff. The bit about kids being in there every 20 minutes if you gave them the good cough syrup was comedy gold.
@@jimdavis2385 Exactly... the doc was intentionally funny there.... Richard and Tim were just too overwhelming for the doc to be able to pull off his comedic stuff
...not even the doctor...
Yes!! He was obviously having fun!
Yep! He tried to get a few in there.
Watching Richard and Tim is hilarious 😂😂😂
When the doctor asked if Tim was ticklish and he said not really Richard tickled him and he made that little funny face like he was laughing because of The anticle was hilarious
Oh, my gosh... four geniuses of comedy!
A great way to start today!
“Well enough of that “ 😂😂😂
When my siblings and i were kids in California, a 5-year-old girl from New Jersey (heavy accent) moved in next door. She was a nonstop talker. As she was standing in our livingroom talking on and on, my older sister picked her up and held her upside-down. We all observed as she kept talking and talking no matter which way she was held - sideways, upside down, vertical, by the feet, etc. It was like a scientific observation experiment - fascinating. The little girl didn't notice anything odd.
We have an uncle that was doing this in the kitchen. We left and went shopping. When we got back? He was still talking to and answering himself and never knew we'd gone!!!
That's hilarious!
The NJ accent is really something...my momma had it and was raised by Irish immigrants. Elm and film were two syllables and she said tagger instead of tiger...I have been asked if I am from NJ ... 🤣 My nephews always said tagger because they spent so much time with my momma. ❤
@@sheilasullivan1950 Did y’all admit him to the psych ward?
@@mov1ngforward lol that doesn’t sound like an NJ accent...not north Jersey near NYC. Tiger would be Tigah
This was the first time I’ve ever seen this doctor. He was so funny. What a great personality.
Hello and how are you doing ?
Terrible Dr though.. find something a child is sick with cuz it's bad for business if u can't?.
cuz the almighty wahman told him so
A doctor and an entertainer rolled into one.
@@mattr8251 Yes, you definitely want a doctor who: A. Is unable to see a rash or a flush on non-white skin and B. Has no problem admitting he regularly fakes diagnoses. I won't get into the predictive harm he did to the children whose lives he altered by casting them as troublemakers and performing his voodoo intervention (making that characterization because none of his other garbage was grounded his scientific reality) based solely on a galvanic response to feather tickling on "preferably naked" children's bodies.
@@mattr8251 I guess you don't understand sarcasm.
OMG...I cannot think of two better guests to have been present than Conway & Pryor! This was HYSTERICAL!
Rich and Tim were having a BLAST!!!! And Johnny didn't help because he just kept smiling and nodding to egg on the situation. This was brilliant!
I don’t think I have ever seen Richard Pryor so genuinely laughing like that. I wish the camera panned out to see what reaction him ant Tim were really having.
Richard Pryor’s face expression was hilarious and priceless
Especially when the doc was pretending to see a rash on a black child....Richard just kind of looked almost into camera with a slow burn. But he kept laughing!
And hurt. And diminished.
@@petraroch8510 Yes. Agreed.
Real life situations like this are always a wonderful source for priceless moments of pure levity. 👏👏😁😁🍻🇨🇦
I really loved and appreciated Richard Pryor so much.
Who suggested this doctor as a guest on this, they are a genius lol
That's why Mr.Carson is the best at this game. 'On a Western Airlines with Lord Trimingham', I can't stop laughing.
There will never be another late night host like Johnny Carson. Tim Conway and Richard Pryor were the best
It’s so nice to go back in time and watch Johnny Carson. Especially when he had guests like Richard Prior and Tim Conway on. They will never be another Johnny Carson☹️
I bought my mom the CD set of Carson’s best some years back before you could watch like this. One of the best gifts she ever got. There will never be a show this good ever again.
When you have two of the greatest comedians of all time sitting next to you losing it, you are truly a legend. I never heard Pryor laugh like that.
They're not laughing with him, they're laughing at him! Big difference
@@josephomally4244 Either way you look at it, they cracked up.
@@josephomally4244
Maybe. Maybe the guy was doing a bit, bringing out a personae just like Conway did on his numerous sketches.
People take things WAY too seriously. Must be the times we live in.
@@josephomally4244 well if that were the case at least they were laughing. Plus both Richard and Tim had their time in the spotlight as they were on first that was the Dr's time. Plus it is all carefully planned out before had. It is called Hollywood
Right out of the gate Johnny is killing it with his usual deadpan: “Congratulations on your Masters win.” Freaking hysterical.
Gonna re watch that I missed it
i loved how he adjusted his tie like he usually did when a joke fell flat. The Doc was already off to the races.
LOL
@@delamo8468 This is similar to Professor Erwin Corey. The Doc is a put on.
That was such a good line it's a shame no one heard it 🤣
This kicks ass! Seeing two classic comedians being destroyed by this nerdy, verbose doctor, not to mention Johnny himself, is the content I'm here for.
0p
Well-said! "(actually THREE) comedians being destroyed by a nerdy, verbose doctor..." So true!!
Diamond s in the rough .lmao
Imagine living with that Dr lmao,or spending a weekend on holiday skiing or whatever, obviously with some killer mushrooms and some speed to take the edge off LMAO 🤣

Evidence of how far our society has fallen… today it’s all about being a narcissistic A hol
I'd never heard of or come across Dr. Smith before, but he was fantastic. A voice you could just listen to. Just let him go, like a wild puppy.
After watching all the chaos in the world today I come to this to relax.
This is when late shows were actually fun.
Me too.
Facts
Same
Which is what we USED to do with late night. I would have never known their stupid politics if they just kept to actually being funny. And yes, their political jokes were funny when they were using it as a joke, and they joked BOTH sides of the political spectrum. Funny is funny, hosts tirades about social justice, jerking tears about life, isn't funny, isn't cute, and I turned off a long time ago. To all of them. Now they are loser hacks, with bad writers, or with motives we don't come to late at night to relax!
This would've been so much better if they just gave the doctor a chance to talk 😂
The poor Dr. never got a word in edgewise..👍🤣😂
The good Dr. was speaking truth and reality. The host and other two clowns were competing for their own laughs and attention. They had they're moment in the spotlight, and now they have all passed on. The 🔚
😂
Right! LMAO!!!
@@jbbowers you’re a ray of sunshine your life must be a loving hell.. meh
Watching Richard & Tim cracking up was amazing then Richard Pryor’s face during the rash on black kids section to Johnny’s laughter … so funny!
The comment was funny and isn’t it amazing that there was no cry of “racism “. Richard Pryor just gave that hysterical look! Everyone knew the comment was born out of not dealing with children of color, not to be offensive to any race. I miss those days when you could laugh at the inexperience of people instead of assuming they have hate in their comments.
@@bonniejacquel8511 just because he didn’t say it doesn’t mean he didn’t feel it though? He looked pretty pissed!
@@ronswansonsdog2833 You might be right but … I think it was one of those Archie Bunker kind of looks… As if to say “can you believe this guy?”
Tim Conway was born laughing but if you can get Pryor to make those faces you accomplished something.

Good one!
Seriously.
Totally!!!! This comment should be pinned! 📌
You read my mind!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best ventriloquist act I’ve ever seen! With RP in between to boot! 🤣
That look on Pryor’s face was classic. Lol And Tim Conway was just so funny
The best part is watching Richard and Tim giggling! 🔥
Richards cracking up is the best

The funniest part is that they went 9 whole minutes without 5 commercial breaks.
So true. I was watching an hour long talk show, I kid you not 7 covid commercials if not 8.
Grew up with 90 minutes of it every night
"Have I asked you a question yet?" Johnny's body language from the start of the interview was perfect. Richard in the background makes it even better.
Richard Pryor at 7:27 proves why he was so damn funny....miss the 70's listening to his albums on cassette tapes hanging in the street at night.
Me too, but I think that's illegal now.
I love Johnny congratulating the doctor on his Masters win, due to his green jacket. I made that same joke to a friend of mine at a wedding.
🤣🤣
I like it when Johnny makes that joke too.
I’m not sure who this doctor is, but Bryan Cranston can play him in a movie.
He was ahead of the times in children’s medicine. Parents were brainwashed by the dairy industry advertising to give their children milk and it was causing so many health problems and he spoke about that frequently on his TV show.
He sounds like Walter White lying to Skyler.
Yes
Absolutely!!
Yeah, he came to my head listening too
Johnny Carson was and always will be the king of late night, he wanted EVERYONE to laugh, not just 50% of the audience.
They all want 100% of the audience to laugh. Problem now is snowball regressive MAGAs don't have a sense of humor.
I miss the days of when they had all the guests on stage together. It totally adds to the conversation and fun.
World misses such geniuses as Carson, Pryor and Williams
@Akhror Muminov, what about Tim Conway? Don't we miss him? Or maybe he's not a genius? Or maybe he's not dead? Perhaps this doctor kept him alive?
We have Craig Ferguson
And don't forget Conway
@@LeoThePrezPretlo I was thinking the same thing

Tim died not terribly long ago.
This DR is the best. Just completely derails the show. LMAO..
You are right! It’s hard to really know if he knows how funny he actually is and I think he does but yet his manner is so continuous and flowing that it totally scooped all of the other seasoned comedians on that bench. Johnny Richie and Tim could not sync as fast as this guy was talking! Totally amazing! Don’t know how I stumbled onto this video but I’m glad I did.

If you’re telling a story and you have Richard Pryor AND Tim Conway laughing uncontrollably ; then you’re tell one hell of a story!
If only they had been laughing WITH him...
Talk about not being able to read a room smh i love how he started talking about a blk patient to Richard and Richard looked like STFU 😂
If a doctor cannot tell the difference between embarrassed laughter and humorous, or find a rash on dark skin... he persists in hogging a talk show.

I've known a handful of people in my life who, like Dr. Smith, were physically unable to stop talking; including my own mother. So many times the rest of us in the room would just sit back and laugh. 🙂
