OMG, watching this episode now on Antenna TV. So funny! I loved CNR. And this is so true about the "stars" needing to run off after their bit. Especially Bob Hope who really just booked himself on Carson's show when he wanted to plug something. Thanks for this video.
Bob Hope had such power at NBC they gave him a unique deal that allowed him to come on Carson’s show whenever he had a special to promote. And while Johnny respected his talent he hated the fact that Bob would be on so much and just wasn’t the best guest but Bob had more power with the network than he did, if that was even possible
@@jennifersman7990I don’t think Carson respected Bob Hope. He was a non talent who had jokes written for him. In Carson’s autobiography his close associate felt that in his later appearances Carson felt Hope was lost and bumbling on camera.
I am 65 , when I was young , old people use to say that, old age is ugly .I know what they mean now, that I am 65 . The point I am making is, I miss the old days and all the old stars .RIP to all of the old stars , they were great entertainers .
Charles Nelson Rielly is out of control. He's insane. I loved it when he came back out pretending to be a big star. He really tore the roof off tonight! Great moments!
@@mikehunt4986 Likely the corporate brass told them not to and makes sense given their investment in the show was to make money for CBS from advertising and product placement. Many of the regular guests were from CBS shows like MASH, Mary Tyler Moore Show, etc. 🙂
Long after people forget Governor Brown, the plays that Charles directed, all the books that were promoted on the show, they will be watching THIS, because THIS was more entertaining, and told more about the world of the time, than all those things…...
Johnny was at his handsomest here. Terri Garr was nuts. I miss Charles so much, boy he sure would have brought some much needed joy and laughter into these crazy days...
He's the male version of my Aunt Jean. She'd leave you in stitches just talking about ordinary everyday things. I was always a big fan of Charles. Even as a kid, I would always crack up when he was on the Tonight Show. I miss the old entertainers of show business's golden years. It's all gone now for sure.
Traditionally back then, the guests would stay all through the show, sitting there on the couch, perhaps interacting a little bit with the later guests, but mostly just listening. Some guests, especially the Big Names, began saying they had to leave early (some other engagement, an air flight). Often this was true, but it became a habit with certain Big Names, and they practically never stayed for the rest of the show any more. Evidently Dinah Shore had been the earlier guest and left. CNR was saying, what is there to go to at 5:45 pm? The banks, dentists, doctors, etc. were all closed for the day, so where were they going? Also, there were services such as limo service and free accommodation at a nice hotel that some guests got. Charles pointed out that he'd been coming on as a guest for 16 years, had never left early, but he never got any of the perks. That's the background to, and the gist of, the main part of what he was saying.
@@LynxSouth You have to wonder, if Dinah had to go, then how come she was there to walk back on with the flowers? If I was heading to catch a flight, I'd be straight out the door as soon as I was off the set.
Not to slam current comedians, because I do think there are some true gems out there, but they don't quite make comedians of this caliber like they used to friends
@Big Bill O'Reilly on average they're more polished, because the greats of the past made a blue print for how to do it professionally. But there's less uniqueness now. Stand-ups are more polished, but they're less individual.

My career is over but yet I'm here - on the tonight show with Johnny Carson... hehehe that's hilarious humble for..the lovers.. and sarcasm for.the haters ....
cute appearance. Reminds me of Jay Leno's appearances on the old Letterman show; Jay would just come out and start kvetching about stuff, Dave didn't have to do much of anything. It was all just an act of course. This was when Jay and Dave were still close.
Carson:. Then what r u doing here? CNR:. Well, there's no other place to go. Divine madness. Who else would have the balls to be that flippant about an appearance on The Tonight Show!!! 😃😃🤔🤔😂😂
@@monkeyb1820 I forget who's book it was on where I saw read it...but johnny would get drunk and if he saw someone he didn't like he pissed on them. So gross...

Even sinatra would get all boozed up, start a fight with someone and have his security pull him away to make himself look tough lol I guess he needed the liquid courage as well ;)
Anyone else here to see what he’s really like after watching Alec Baldwin play him on SNL in an episode of Inside the Actor’s Studio with James Lipton (played by Will Ferrell)? That sketch is hilarious, one of my all-fine SNL favorites for sure.
@@thomasmagnum3588 ~ Comedy has different levels that people of every walk of life enjoy. Your statement is completely vacuous-it adds nothing and offers no insight. It’s clearly disproven by the continued popularity of the show throughout decades of television. I know many comedy buffs who loved SNL in the 90s during the time the sketch I’m referring to took place. You’re a moron.
Only living to see the day we can use AI to CGI some new talk show spots by Charles. Throw in Tony Randall and Norm MacDonald, and every other living talk show guest can just stay home forever.
Actor, producer, director, writer, comic, talent...amazing man.
I've watched this a dozen times. I love the fun on this show. RIP all.
Me too. This is a study in comedic talent and timing.
What a wonderful talent. Great story teller. Enjoyed his humer. Is missed.
The best way to start my day. Watching Charles and Johnny talk.
Haha, same here!
There's no replacing either one of these fabulously talented men.. just incredbily comedic ability and timing from both!
Agreed!
The same could be said of Charles Nelson Reilly, too, not just the men you refer to
Why can't some people live forever? CN-R was such as great guy.
Thankfully we still have these great clips of him!

Was watching this and thinking, why couldn't this guy never die. Guess I'm not alone.
Charles was a class act-He was great on "The Match Game".
Indeed!
@@C_Muir Carson never mentioned The Match Game in many times CNR was on The Tonight Show.
@@1TexasTV Strange because JC asked if he had anything to plug, and CNR never mentioned MG.
I absolutely love Charles
Wow. He's just magnificent.
Cnr u say is magnificent sure but uve got the pearly white bright in that pix . Come on over to a London guy say hi
;-)
Love mi boy. Rip
He was a trailblazer for being himself and being gay. He will always have my respect.
I concur.
He was gay? lol

CNR was unique and one of the great guests on any talk show.
Guests of the show stay at the Sheraton Universal... sixteen years I haven't seen the lobby! 🤣🤣🤣
I got to that part and your comment was the 1 that read next. 😂❤️
Riot!

Carson's favorite fill-in guest, probably more fun than any other star
Tony Randall did the same thing for Letterman.
The “how are you” mid sentence always kills me 😂

When this originally aired, I was one day old! Pretty neat to see this.
Truly a real talent and contribution to American entertainment.
Was not expecting Teri Garr at the end. She passed away just yesterday 😢
Yes very sad
Never realized how tall he was. So funny!
Amazing that neither Reilly nor Carson mentioned Match Game! And this was 1977!
Different networks. Tonight Show was NBC and MG on CBS I think.
@@afaceinthecrowd3652 Was it a rule that they couldn't mention shows on other networks?

Cool to know
I don't think so.
@@freddyfurrah3789 Yup, that is officially in his bio.

YOU GOT TO LOVE HIM ❤ ❤ ❤
CNR was a riot.
Johnny was at his handsomest here. Terri Garr was nuts. I miss Charles so much, boy he sure would have brought some much needed joy and laughter into these crazy days...
I love the limo and hotel complaint .
Can't believe Charles Nelson Reilly invented Roger from American Dad.
That’s the other openly flamboyant guy mainly known for being on a game show - Paul Lynde.

she was sixty there?!

That would be nice.
Pure gold!

@@Jay-vr9ir I could've have said it better! You make the best of it, but everything is throwaway now.
Wow! Teri Garr's first appearance too.
She was a looker back then.
Loved CNR!

❤ him
Precious !
Love Charles
HOW COULD U THUMBS DOWN CNR? THAT'S CLAYMOR!!! RIP I LOVE U
That's Entertainment.
Charles!
That man had zero edge to him, just so likable. It's not surprising he's a guest over and over.
Give me a slip for a free breakfast.......Classic.

5:45 *The change in his voice makes me wonder if his screen voice isn't an affectation?* 🤔🤷
Thank You CNR Nuff said 😅
LOVE IT, HE IS SOOOOOO FUNNY

4:30 to 4:43 very close to how Larry David/George Costanza sound to me.
Charles was Hilarious! 🤣
I agree with Charles, when it comes to parking .If there is no place for your guests to park , then send a car for the guests .
Petty Carson banned him as a guest after he went on Joan Rivers show, nice guy there.
from what I've read about Carson, he was mostly a tremendous a-hole.
That's ok, he got locked in his Delorean and lost his ass on the stock he owned in the company.
@@monkeyb1820 Yes he was. He would get DRUNK al the time and actually PISS on people he didn't like in the mensroom. Class act on tv - pos backstage.

was so much better than those crappy game shows
I wish when he went out to be reintroduced Johnny would have introduced him by his own name as a biggie and not Robert Redford...CNR was the coolest
I've seen this a bunch of times, but anything to get away from POLITICS.
An original, when celebrities were funny and interesting.
dinah's SIXTY there?!
why did terry not turn to charles and ed and shake hands and say hi
jhanlon1903 Probably scared shitless ... it was her first appearance on Carson.
They most likely sat together back stage, before being announced .
The Bic Banana himself!
You mean I can leave and I don't have to say where I'm going? OMG.
The last of the mochicans of the True entertainer where they don't need to pluck a record .. pluck a film ..pluck TV series and etc
full stop .....
this guy is funny as fuck
