Funny how when we get older we notice things about these old shows we didn’t recognize at the time. I’ve come to appreciate Ed McMahon so much more later in life.
Mister Ed McMahon, we all thought Johnny was so witty, and he was, but none of the funny would have been any fun without you. I don't know how you did it but you were actually more of the heart of the show then people give credit for
LOL. Johnny did a great job of handling it. As he always did with difficult guests--he just had a way of compensating for it, to keep it fun and interesting.
According to Peter Lassally, when Ed would be drunk, he was still a warm and fun guy to be with. When Johnny got drunk, he turned very nasty. Peter said that Johnny's personality changed within minutes, he became vile, nasty, and would become violent (as Tom Snyder knew very well).
Could you explain what happened between Carson and Snyder? Even Letterman has commented on Carson's Hyde after a few drinks but I remember reading something that happened between Carson and Snyder.
@@NextEevolution Hi, well Johnny was at dinner in LA with Ed McMahon, Henry Bushkin and their wives. Tom Snyder was also in the restaurant. Johnny hated Tom, as he felt Tom was talentless, boring and simply a hack journalist who got lucky. Johnny mentioned this in private to many well known celebrity friends, who then told Tom. So, when Tom was at dinner, he kept looking over at Johnny, and this annoyed Johnny so much, that after a few glasses of wine, Johnny was drunk, and got angry that Tom kept looking over at him, and so he got up, went over to Tom and threatened to knock him out if he didn't stop staring at him. Tom didn't help by refusing to calm Johnny down, and then Johnny went for Tom, before Ed and Henry grabbed Johnny and pulled him away before he strangled Tom. Now, Ed McMahon said Tom was only occasionally glancing over at them, as you would do, and it was the alcohol in Johnny which made this worse.
@@johnking5174 I was under the impression it was something professional between them, not something so personal. Thanks for explaining, as I'm sure that took a while to type out.

@@johnking5174 I believe you. I remember seeing a clip of Johnny yelling at some guy “you better get that camera out of my face”! I thought to myself “why don’t you just walk away”?
I love Ed McMahon...he was a bit tipsy yes, but that little twinge of feelings got me for a second he really was hurt ...i dunno ...only someone you love can hurt you like that any randomjerk doesn't usually have the power to actually hurt your feelings
One of my uncles drank like Dean Martin did.. and also now, I've learned, Ed McMahon. Those guys were casually drunk, and always casually humorous and witty.
Edward Leo Peter Ed McMahon, Jr. (Detroit, 06 de marzo de 1923 - Los Ángeles, 23 de junio de 2009) fue un comediante, presentador de programas de juegos, y locutor estadounidense. Fue famoso por su trabajo en la televisión como compañero de Johnny Carson (1925-2005) y locutor del programa The Tonight Show (entre 1962 y 1992). También presentó la versión original del show Star Search entre 1983 y 1995. Fue copresentador de TV’s Bloopers & Practical Jokes con Dick Clark entre 1982 y 1998. También presentó sorteos de la empresa de venta directa American Family Publishers (y no, como se cree comúnmente, de su principal rival Publishers Clearing House). 86 AÑOS.
There is one thing for certain. After Jay Leno went off the air, the late night talk shows went to the dogs. Especially on CBS where they now have the sorriest excuse for a host that ever existed. NBC and ABC are not far behind.
It went to the dogs when Johnny retired. In 1992, I would have reformatted the show. It would be renamed "Jay Leno Tonight" and not the Tonight Show. For 30 years, the Tonight Show was JOHNNY CARSON and no one else. Sorry.
@@johnking5174 I cannot argue with your logic on that on naming it "Jay Leno Tonight" I did like Jay pretty well as the host, but as a lot of fans say; " You cannot replace Johnnie"

Nothing on TV the last decade, and a half even comes close to this. What a shame thank God for you RUclips videos of Johnny Carson.
How the time has gone by! She was 32 now she's in her 70's!
And now she's 32! Love it!
“Let’s get her out here quickly”. Love it.
Great friends, great television.
Under the microscope of television, Johnny handled every overblown ego with class. It was like walking in a minefield!
No one today can match his class.
I've been noticing that too in these clips of old shows, how well he handled difficult guests.
Mister Ed McMahon, we all thought Johnny was so witty, and he was, but none of the funny would have been any fun without you. I don't know how you did it but you were actually more of the heart of the show then people give credit for
I somehow missed that episode, and even all these years later, it is hilarious!

Alcohol makes people look bad, but Johnny made this funny.

Yes these guys were the best..
I'd be drunk every day if I had Ed's job. Only Johnny would know.
Man this is funny!
Classic!!!! LOL!!!!!!
Too funny.....
But you’re upsetting me!!
"I held a baby gorilla." 😆
@@vincentrimmer5844 “What an exciting idea!”
Ed is hilarious, sauced up... lol

It's been said that Dean's glass was noting more than iced tea. The drinking business was part of Dean's stage persona.

I’ve asked this question before. Does anyone know if the entire show is loaded up on RUclips?
How come this entire show is not somewhere on RUclips? Just this one clip?

You couldn't show that clip today without people being outraged and wanting Johnny fired for shaming Ed
Or Ed fired for being drunk on a job 🤪🤷🏾
@@Tonabillity so true
I was always curious about why he was tipsy in that clip, now I know; one too many martinis at lunch after winning some lawsuits.
Ed is correct - Johnny did say "seven or eight." Not sure why he denied that.
Was this from Johnny's last week?
No, I think it was from their last anniversary show special, from October 1991.
The original clip is from 1977.
