I was still only 8 when this aired and so it was way past my bedtime, but I and my older siblings fell in love with the song What Would You Say and were dying to see what this guy with an odd voice singing this old fashioned tune looked like. I begged my mom to let me stay up with them to see it and she finally relented. Alas, I fell asleep before he appeared, I was so disappointed the next day! And so I never got to see it until it eventually got posted on RUclips some years back. What a great memory from childhood!
These were back when I was in my 20s and 30s. I had Direct TV in Ventura CA where the signal was weak for the over the air signals so you got a feed from the west and east so we could watch the East coast version 3 hours before it was supposed to come on. This was early 90s before the Internet really kicked in. He was on a long time. I was actually 18 when this one aired.
This episode is proof as to why the 90-minute era was somewhat better than the hour-long era. More time equaled far fewer guests getting bumped due to running behind schedule. Or, at the very least, left more than one guest behind on the couch at the start of the ending credits (in the event one or two of the others had to leave early)!
6:52 please somebody tell me they know the name of this score!! I've heard it in a couple other episodes but nobody knows. My absolute favorite of the show/band. I considered emailing Doc Severinson through his website but couldn't figure out how. I don't even know if it's his song/if he would remember. If anyone knows or knows even where to find the sheet music it would be incredibly appreciated.
Hurricane Smith did excellent work as an engineer on The Beatles albums and produced Pink Floyd on several albums but his singing here sounded like he was a contestant on the 1970s Gong Show. Maybe here he was nervous, maybe it was from him singing live , or he had jet lag but he sounded off key and out of sorts.
Also I'm reading the book by Johnny's manager lawyer fixer etc and boy oh boy johnny is a bastard. His wife was cheating with frank gifford and johnny was cheating too.

Yea I was only 7 and would watch down the hall in the mirror on the door worked out great 👍
Fast forward 50 years later, and entertainment like this still holds to this day.
That's because humanity died in 1998.

Buddy Hacket always delivered. He was terrific. Thanks for sharing.
What a great band They had With the great Doc Severenson at the Helm On that trumpet.🎉
Btw: Happy belated 99th birthday to Johnny, wherever he may be, today.
What a great line up, I love Buddy Hackett
I Was Born the day this Episode was on and I want to thank whoever posted this episode of the Tonight Show
That Nancy Wilson song was absolute 🔥🔥🔥.

Great to hear the tonight band with Louie Bellson at commercial breaks.
Doc was great

NOTE TO SELF: Don't fuck with Marcel Marceau! Wow!
Ed McMahon didn't sound very well! I'm not sure if he had a cold or just under the weather

I had just turned 3 when this aired. R.I.P. Johnny
Wow you have even more of these with intro sequences!!?
Nancy Wilson from heart????? I haven't watched yet but Is it her?
No
No. There was another Nancy Wilson, a jazz singer. She had nothing to do with Rock n roll.

Why did Marcel Marceau sit as far away from Nancy Wilson as possible? Did anyone else notice that?
as an outsider, what do you think, of the human race?
Enjoy this now, before NBC ends up taking it down.

I LOVE DOC AND SHAUGNESSY'S VERSION OF "MY BUDDY"! Its quite rococo
Ed's feeling crappy, so they skip the normal Johnny/Ed post-monologue segment and fill the extra time by winding up Buddy and letting him go.

Maybe here he was nervous, maybe it was from him singing live , or he had jet lag but he sounded off key and out of sorts.
Ed seemed depressed at the intro
Also I'm reading the book by Johnny's manager lawyer fixer etc and boy oh boy johnny is a bastard. His wife was cheating with frank gifford and johnny was cheating too.
Akido is complete nonsense.
