Thanx muchly for sharing this little gem, Honeydew Hideout! I saw probably all of Johnny's Tonight Shows, first-run, and not again till now, so I thank you. I miss Johnny, and his Tonights. Always a fun show. And you usually learned at least one thing, too: whether it be something about the guest, or a critter, or a country, or the universe, or even a new joke. RIP, darling Johnny, and thanx so very much, for the magic, music, and memories.
Not only was Johnny hugely hilarious, Ed McMann’s laugh in the background was so infectious, it is also what made the show so comical. Thanks for the memories.
This was the "2nd" Digest after her botched first one. But technically it's 2nd version of the 2nd script. It's different than the "2nd" one that aired for the east cost. Fascinating find. It was not mentioned in the books about her whether or not she recorded new versions for the west coast feed. Based on this airing, looks like she did.
Johnny Carson was it. He was da man for da job and that was it. He was da host with da most for this show and, although Leno was good, Carson was better by 150%.
The late NBC News anchor Jessica Savitch is at 58:46. This is a fascinating find. It's a different version of what broadcast at 9:58pm eastern time that night which was the second "NBC News Digest" of the evening. She slurred her words during the first one. NBC News execs thought it best for her to front the second one so people wouldn't think anything was up. I've always wondered if she recorded new versions for the west coast feeds. Comparing the two "2nd" Digests you can see they are different. Do you have the "first" one that aired just before the Carson special began? Here's a link to the east coast version. ruclips.net/video/EGFM3NtJ-Q0/видео.htmlsi=EIwDeLAq96Gf3fic&t=61
Even less! 8 years later was the 29th anniversary show, which was only about 7 months before the final episode. One kinda wishes he would have stuck around through the summer break, and finished things off with a 30th anniversary special.
@@AkumaAPNI wonder if idea was batted around and he denied it. If you recall on his last show, he said they wanted a big to do in primetime like these specials were, and he turned it down for a quieter ending instead. I have to think it was at least suggested to him at some point.
It always kills me, when I hear Ed McMahan 😂 laughing so overly extra loud, that you know it wasn't all that funny, but he's hoping that you don't notice the truth. 😮
@@chirelle.alanalooney8609 I think it's more usually found that Ed's extra big laughs are due to a look of bewilderment on Johnnie's face, like he's laughing at Johnnie's reaction, rather than the actual joke or situation.
Thank you so much for not editing the commercials out! Much appreciated!

I love the commercials LOL
Always enjoyed their anniversary shows.
Miss Johnny …….. nobody like Johnny………..
Oh God, that last one of Curly that Albert Brooks did was a real Rip Snorter of Laughs!!! 😂😅😊
Between this, Tom Snyder. Letterman and cavett. What more do we need.
Know one like Johnny one of kind
Just wonderful.

I have missed Carson every day since he finished on 'Tonight".
Miss the guy , him and the
rest was like family to me .
CLASSIC 🎉
1:55 - well Johnny came close to this comedic prediction, as come 9 years in 1992 he would be gone, and terribly missed even to this day.
During the brief news break with Jessica Savitch, she would die in an accident 20 days later.
The sound is a bit sketchy, especially early on, but I'm glad they left the original commercials. Neat! 😁
Albert Brooks, Rodney Dangerfield, Eddie Murphy, Dolly Parton, Richard Pryor, Joan Rivers, and George Gobel, Bob Hope, and Dean Martin
I miss the old days.
I was told Walter Cronkite loved the routine at 46:20
"you got 6 teeth missing, wanna go for 7!"
If you've got a Salad Bar for Communion. It's more for like if after you take Communion, you start Babbling "Word Salad."
I wish Johnny was around today in 2023 and hear what jokes he would have to say about Trump and Biden.
Boy that would be great!
Thank God Johnny Carson did what he did before woke horrible times.
He'd Have Plenty To Say But Biden Would Cry The Most Because Of His Thin Skin And Always Didn't Say That Or That
Biden I Know Would Try To Sue Him
He's already said stuff about "Lying Biden"..that fool is helllaa old doing nothing still😂
58:52 The tragic Jessica Savitch... she would die just 20 days later.

1:58 He was off by one year.

As a kid I loved CNR in Lidsville.
