I actually was in the audience the next night, January 18 but no guests like this young lady. They played stump the band that night and I got on camera for a split second. A moment I’ll never forget with Carson a couple of feet away. He was the best that will ever do this.
This has funny moments, but I think it was geared towards insomniacs. In the late 80's I recall waking to my daughter watching Johnny Carson at the foot of my bed. Such a memory.
ChevKen Amen. A true genius, who influenced countless artists. If you're into metal, listen to Slayer's Gemini (based on Blatty's Legion), and the references to The Exorcist in South of Heaven.
Little fact: In January and February 1974 in England they were in the middle of horrible strikes, rolling power outages and the three television channels in England were forced by the government to conclude broadcasting each night at 10.30pm to save electricity. I know some of my family went to the US during that time as they would not stand it back home in England. They remember watching Carson in their hotel room each night.
Ed McMahon revealed that Carson was socially liberal, fiscally conservative in his politics. He classed him as an Eisenhower Republican. He opposed the Vietnam War. He supported the rights for women to have abortions. He favored racial equality, and was against criminalizing extramarital sex and pornography. In 1970 he said "In my living room I would argue for liberalization of abortion laws, divorce laws, and there are times when I would like to express a view on the air. I would love to have taken on Billy Graham. But I'm on TV five nights a week; I have nothing to gain by it and everything to lose."
Considering the Russian garbage was all a lie /hoax done by the demoncrats, he probably would make fun of the demoncrat party, especially Adam Schiff and polluted Pelosi.

Oddly enough, almost 2 years after this, Richard Pryor was in an Exorcist parody on Saturday Night Live (Dec., 1975).
wow... I wonder if tracy and tina from halifax england knew that they got a shout out on The Tonight show
Lorenzo, not Fernando Lamas was an alleged abuser. Get your information straight before posting an accusation.
I ADORE that jacket! Where can I get one??? God bless the 70’s!
RIP WPB

Can you imagine the uproar there would be today over the things Johnny and Fernando were saying to Robyn? He'd probably get fired.
Don't worry be happy

I remember seeing this back then and remember the audience's reaction....

Hi Brian, yes back then the UK tv stations were forced to sign off at 10.30pm each night to save power
The Exorcist is the only movie that shook me up as an adult. I have seen it over 80 times.
I believe Johnny is drunk during the opening monologue. Listen to his slurring…😳

Did they mention Blatty's The Exorcist?
Nothing has changed just the name's 😮 odd
What was I doing on this date?
The recorded "exorcism" at the end is ridiculous. Superstitious nonsense.
30:40 carson flipping the bird?
Johnny Carson has a strange conservative streak to him back in those days. But he definitely lightened up by the 1980s.
Ed McMahon revealed that Carson was socially liberal, fiscally conservative in his politics. He classed him as an Eisenhower Republican. He opposed the Vietnam War. He supported the rights for women to have abortions. He favored racial equality, and was against criminalizing extramarital sex and pornography. In 1970 he said "In my living room I would argue for liberalization of abortion laws, divorce laws, and there are times when I would like to express a view on the air. I would love to have taken on Billy Graham. But I'm on TV five nights a week; I have nothing to gain by it and everything to lose."
Carson talks about Nixon and Watergate. Wonder what he would have to say about Donald Duck and Russia?

Or a corrupt senile old fool and his drug using son.
Sexism and racism were broadly acceptable forms of humor then.
Fernando the physical abuser of women. What a jerk
