Make that the 60's. I remember watching Carson on an old beat up black and white television in the attic of my uncle's farm house. He hired us every summer around haying time to put up hay, paid a whooping 5 bucks a day and the day went from sunrise to sunset. It was more work getting him to pay us then putting up the hay though, that tight old fart. Once he hired me out to a neighbor to dig a toilet hole, it took me the best part of one day to dig it. He charged the neighbor 25 bucks for the hole, but all I got was my 5 bucks a day. Tight old fart, may he rest in turmoil! He was not a blood relative, he simply married mom's sister (RIP).
Jerry Ericsson great story thanks for sharing. Lots of those old timers were like that, you couldn’t squeeze a nickel out of them. I had a blood related great, great Uncle who wore the same clothes probably since 1935 and he passed in 2002 at 94.
Honestly, I had a doctor once who smoked more then I did, he was the guy who gave me a prescription for nicotine patch and gum so I could kick the habit, it worked for me! He still smokes like a chimney. He was a great doctor, he handled my disability after an accident in the squad car left me unable to be a cop any more. My attorney met with him before our court date with Workers Comp, he was amazed, he told me "Your doctor loves you!" Said he wished all his clients could use him. I won my case with ease, that was in '93. While they declared me retired and cut my paycheck in half two years ago, the bureau is still paying me, and paying for my pain related meds.
@@fml5910 Yes from 1:20 to 2:10 I count 3 fingers. And it must be a sign like Carol did with her tug on her ear. Did Carson do finger at other days, with other guests?
Not only would Johnny let his guests talk, he was terrific at putting the new ones at ease, and, having prepared by learning everything he could about the new guest, would provide topics for them to talk about if they got tongue tied. I watched him do this time and again when a new celebrity of some sort, started answering questions with one word or short answers. Johnny was one of a kind. Colbert is starting to show some signs that he can do the same thing, but he's not there yet. Only time will tell.
@@patgogan7324 Perfect analogy. Johnny had class. I just watched this video (again) right after I watched a video from the mid-70s when Jack Benny was on the show and Johnny let the stars roll and had a blast. The audience seemed really entertained in both videos (separated by 15+ years) and they were very respectful. Think about the years all those guys had in the entertainment field!
I was turned 18 just two days before George Burns died. I can still remember the approximate time I heard the news. I hate that I wasn't truly appreciating his work in my younger years, but I can still remember he was still talked about heavily as I was growing up and always stayed relevant as time went by. Next to no one in show business can be in it as long as George Burns was and be able to make the same claim.
I was 20 when he died and was so sad because I knew we lost QUITE a legend. I was glad to see he made it to 100, but he made it clear towards the end that he wanted to be with his Gracie again. He was truly one of a kind!
I'm almost 70 and used to watch reruns of the George Burns Show when I was a boy. He was an old man then. He'd be 124 if alive today. His kind of humour will never die out because it doesn't rely on smut and denigration.
In one of the books that he wrote he dedicated it to the widows of his 5 late doctors. This guy was funny and like so many of his generation, he had class. Sadly, that is absent from entertainment now.
Close your eyes and imagine yourself at the dinner party Mr. Burns spoke of! No cell phones, or TV cameras, no Facebook live, Instagram or Twitter, only the side splitting, ultra-entertaining chatter from the minds and lips of the legends to the legends!
The Master at work. His setups are immortal. That round table @ Hillcrest MUST have been beyond compare. Can you imagine those guys going at one another daily? The tears coming from your eyes must be like a flood. Timeless, beyond talent. No one like him and Gracie was the comedian. OMG!!!

I'm so glad, as a kid in the '70's, that these one-of-a-kind greats were my favorites. I can't fathom that George and all the incredible people he's talking about are literally forgotten by today's generations. They have no idea what they missed and that they're fed trash for entertainment. I personally keep going back to these legends because nothing has even come close to their talent and wit.
@@VeN0m88 I'd have to watch it again, but he's talking about the very early top-billed vaudeville (variety live stage show) entertainers. People like Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor, and Georgie Jessel. These guys and many others did not transition as successfully as people like George. They still had a huge following by the older fans in the '30's-'50's, but didn't hold-up well by the younger generations.

@@VeN0m88 You're welcome. Although I'm a big fan of entertainers of the '30's-50's era, people like Al Jolson and the others I mentioned, although great, had a style that's quite dated. You really have to be a die-hard fan of the vaudeville days to appreciate them.
RIP George Burns (January 20, 1896 - March 9, 1996), aged 100 And RIP Johnny Carson (October 23, 1925 - January 23, 2005), aged 79 You both will be remembered as legends.
Yes he did. He had a really nasty fall in his bathtub at 99. He hit his temple and nearly died. He made it through that but it took a lot out of him. He probably would have made it to 105 or so if it wasn't for that. Watch the interview that Larry King did with Ronnie Burns and Phyllis Diller in 2007.
What AMAZING GENES this man George Burns had. He looked fantastic for 93, he didn't look much older than Carson if at all, although there was a 30 year difference between them! Burns smoked 15 cigars a day and lived as long as he did and looked as good as he did, and had a sharp of a brain as he did. What AMAZING genes man.
Mike Riddle True, genetics play a big factor. My uncle lived to 87 and he smoked two packs of Marlboro red at the time at the end of his life. Mind you he would have started smoking very early during those days. My grandmother lived the longest too, she lived through both world wars and later died in 2011.
Jan.20th: Happy birthday Comedian-Actor-Singer Nathan Birnbaum / George Burns (1896-1996) Academy Award winner "The Sunshine Boys" "Oh, God!" The Burns & Allen Show. Thank you and God bless. RIP Legend. Thanks for the upload, Alchay Archilochus. Blessings
Not many comedians make me actually laugh out loud, but George has me in stitches. No sex (much), no race, no man vs woman, no Jew vs other religions. He had the real essence: timing, smooth delivery, common daily situations; he knew how to entertain, what people would find hilarious.
The book he's there to plug is well worth seeking out (as are nearly all of his books). You''ll discover just what a great writer of comedy George was.
I GREW UP WATCHING BURNS AND ALLAN, THE BOB CUMMINGS SHOW, I LOVE LUCY AND THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM. ALL OF THOSE WONDERFUL TV SHOWS BACK IN THOSE DAYS DURING THE BIRTH OF TELEVISION
Ricky Porter Excellent remembrance. On I Love Lucy, they had Twin Beds and they got into bed still wearing their slippers. Today...you see more of people than you really care to see, thanks to the crowd which own Hollyweird and the “entertainment” industry !
I can one up you! I grew up listening to those great actors on the radio, since we had no power on our farm, we had an old battery pack radio, dad would let us listen to a couple of hours every night, and mom had her soaps in the afternoon, the hospital report was a must hear, before HIPA, they used to broadcast all the admissions and discharges as well as births to each hospital in the area every morning. Made it easy for the public to plan their visits to the patients. To bad we had to stop that but I guess some old fart decided he didn't want anyone to know he had a fart up his ass crosswise and needed to go in hospital.
Two things I keep in mind: 1. For guys like Burns, the humor was effortless. 2. For guys less talented than Burns, Carson made it look effortless for them.
HISTORY. Burns is (at this point in time) the living memory of a lot of great entertainers that are, too all too many, unknown today. I'm so glad he included the "I'm funnier than you are" (Groucho) and "Why don't I just entertain you" (Jolson) stories. Note, incidentally, the absolute reverence with which Carson (a mere three years away from his own retirement) treats this Showbiz Eminence, who was making films with Gracie Allen when Carson was but a boy.
lol you literally cant compare hardly anything from decades ago to now. times have changed, the way ppl carry themselves changed, the content isnt the same. People today dont care for genuine entertainment just the entertainment part. he was a seasoned host
Back in those days you could just sit back and smoke a cigar on set and relax like you would at home! World population was rising fast, but it was still in check. People knew their place, there were classic careers like shoemaker, carpenters, etc... people aspired to do the jobs their parents did, and your children would also inherit those careers. Later everyone wanted to be a big shot lawyer, doctor, or run for office, creating chaos in the job market. Forward to today, and population is rising uncontrollably, machines can do virtually any job, and governments are stomping on your rights. Soon we will have no freedoms left... I don't know what type of earth the meek shall inherit.
@@EdwardSinclair Read this, and I must say, we shall inherit the earth. What we do with our inheritance is sometimes up to us and sometimes up to mother earth. Take care.
When you inject neurotoxins into babies and children, what do you expect. No one is developing right these days, all the guys are stunted physically. They look like children.
I loved the interaction between Benny and Burns and also enjoyed the George Burns and Gracie Allen Show ! " Say goodnight , Gracie .......... Goodnight Gracie ! "
What a treasure this way for me to see! My favorites are how he caught himself when it looked like he was gonna drop an F bomb and the seabass joke! LOL RIP George Burns
I miss both of them so much!! I love modern comedy but there's something special about the old crew. I'm so glad we have RUclips, not just the old crowd can remember, but also that a new group of comedy lovers can see the old guard in their prime. George Burns... what a legend!!
When ever I need to smile and have a laugh or two, I bring this clip up or any clip with Jack Benny on Carson's show. Back when stars and the hosts had real good conversations. The clip of Jack talking about his trip to London (right after the Watergate saga) is priceless delivery of good entertainment just like this one is and we just don't have that in today's world.
George Burns was a national treasure! Oh, I would've LOVED to hear him talk about legends like Al Jolson and Groucho Marx from back in the day! That era, and back through the silents, is my favorite period in stage and movie history!
I didn't watch Mr. Carson as a kid, mainly because I didn't stay up late enough to. Now, watching him as an adult, it is a genuine pleasure to see the respect and the courtesy with which he treats his guests. He doesn't try to top them, he doesn't try to interrupt them, he doesn't try and outdo them. He brings them on and lets them shine, which is the mark of a true host and a fine gentleman. It's something that those who call themselves "late night hosts" could really stand to learn, these days, IMO.
I truley miss George Burns. I was talking about him with my mother yesterday. How he always talked about his wife Gracie who had passed away. He always said he couldn't wait to see her. Always said at the end of his skits "Good Night Gracie". A true person! RIP George we miss you so much.
I could have listened to Mr. Burns all night long! What a storyteller and such a distinctive voice! Just like Morgan Freeman, in a room full of people you'd know who he was!
George Burns reminds of my father's father - a Jewish guy of the exact same generation. He was just a few years younger. He lived to 97 and was lucid to his last day.
"My doctor is dead." Perfect timing, perfect delivery. At 93!!!!! A toast to you, Mr. Burns.
Did you hear the F-bomb from the guy it was hilarious!
Absolutely! I thought the exact same thing.
That sounded like a line from the Golden Girls. Sophia needed her doctor & was told he had died she said then I am in better shape than he is.
@@cleobrown413 The Golden Girls 1985-1992. My doctor is dead was a spin from a line delivered by Sophia.
That line was around decades before golden girls aired 😅
So cool growing up with these legends as a kid in the 80s.

@jibriilmohamed6080 Exactly man lol this was his last interview and it was 1986 😂 but
I heard him say once "Three doctors have told me to stop smoking. Two of them are dead and the third isn't doing too well."
Honestly, I had a doctor once who smoked more then I did, he was the guy who gave me a prescription for nicotine patch and gum so I could kick the habit, it worked for me!

Jhaaty Loop I am old enough to honestly say that I saw "Oh, God!" when it came out in a movie theater circa 1977.
I am a fetus and I hate this generation

"I feel as good at 93 as I did at 17......... That just goes to show you how decrepit I was at 17".

They don't make em like George Burns anymore. What a talent!
His memory is impeccable for a 93 year old man. Pretty impressive.
I am 48 years old and I watch this at least once a month. How this talent is missed!
Not by me......
I hear you!!! We are the same exact age and I can't get enough of this nostalgia. Society just doesn't produce KOOL! people anymore.
I watch this clip a few times a year, and laugh every time. Burns' timing was genius.
What was the other thing that he does when he’s sick? I’m confused
Absolutely brilliant at 93! Thank you, Mr. Burns!

I hope you are still alive now, i don't know if I can make it to 50
If I could spend 20 minutes with an entertainer, it would've been George Burns. Imagine the stories. A true Hollywood Legend.
Those type of books he wrote are priceless. They do not share morbid hollywood gossip, just great stories of the entertainment greats.

He killed Carson with that one.
He made it to 100 but was too sick to keep his appointment to perform for the Queen. He died at 100 years, 9 weeks old.

I mean, Carson didn't have anything planned whenever Don Rickles appeared. He just let him do his thing.

Burns is (at this point in time) the living memory of a lot of great entertainers that are, too all too many, unknown today.
I'm so glad he included the "I'm funnier than you are" (Groucho) and "Why don't I just entertain you" (Jolson) stories.
Note, incidentally, the absolute reverence with which Carson (a mere three years away from his own retirement) treats this Showbiz Eminence, who was making films with Gracie Allen when Carson was but a boy.
I could listen to him tell story for hours.
Thank goodness we have these shows to show us what talk shows and talent were. A very fine and enjoyable watch!

What a treasure this way for me to see! My favorites are how he caught himself when it looked like he was gonna drop an F bomb and the seabass joke! LOL RIP George Burns
I miss both of them so much!! I love modern comedy but there's something special about the old crew. I'm so glad we have RUclips, not just the old crowd can remember, but also that a new group of comedy lovers can see the old guard in their prime. George Burns... what a legend!!
When ever I need to smile and have a laugh or two, I bring this clip up or any clip with Jack Benny on Carson's show. Back when stars and the hosts had real good conversations. The clip of Jack talking about his trip to London (right after the Watergate saga) is priceless delivery of good entertainment just like this one is and we just don't have that in today's world.
George Burns was a national treasure! Oh, I would've LOVED to hear him talk about legends like Al Jolson and Groucho Marx from back in the day! That era, and back through the silents, is my favorite period in stage and movie history!
Amazing man with every word being a treasure!
George and Gracie Show was and still is my all time favorite
Absolutely one of the GREATS!
Miss George so much! I could listen to his stories forever! He still appealed to audiences of all ages in his advanced age! And Johnny, the best host!
George Burns, love his humidor. ;-])
I didn't watch Mr. Carson as a kid, mainly because I didn't stay up late enough to. Now, watching him as an adult, it is a genuine pleasure to see the respect and the courtesy with which he treats his guests. He doesn't try to top them, he doesn't try to interrupt them, he doesn't try and outdo them. He brings them on and lets them shine, which is the mark of a true host and a fine gentleman. It's something that those who call themselves "late night hosts" could really stand to learn, these days, IMO.
"my doctors dead" hahahahahha always loved George burns, his humorous wisdom. As a kid he was one of my favorite comedians.
Well that was just great...I was rolling when George said the waiter leaned over and told him the Sea Bass joke...George Burns = legend..
I miss George (and Jack Benny) all over again 😢
Sure do miss George and Johnny!!!Legendary T.V. performers.thanks for the memories guys♡♡♡♡♡♡
I am so glad my mom let me stay up sometimes to watch Johnny Carson.
For those who haven't read the book... it's good. Very good.
Good wholesome loving laughter, what an age! Thanks for uploading.
I truley miss George Burns. I was talking about him with my mother yesterday. How he always talked about his wife Gracie who had passed away. He always said he couldn't wait to see her. Always said at the end of his skits "Good Night Gracie". A true person! RIP George we miss you so much.
My Grandpa used to watch George.
Miss these guys. So much class
Johnny Carson was the greatest. Talk shows now, have no Talent.

Has there ever been a more perfectly timed, perfectly delivered punchline in the history of television?
I could have listened to Mr. Burns all night long! What a storyteller and such a distinctive voice! Just like Morgan Freeman, in a room full of people you'd know who he was!
George was a legend when he was alive and still a legend after his death. Amazing man George was!
George Burns was one of the best....if not THE BEST!
Miss you George! My dude growing up!
George Burns reminds of my father's father - a Jewish guy of the exact same generation. He was just a few years younger. He lived to 97 and was lucid to his last day.
93 and he remembers all thus stuff... Hope he used it.
George on the secret to Long life: KEEP ON BREATHING!
Tremendous sense of humor, I miss the guy.
To REMEMBER all these stories and names so many years later!
His timing is perfect!
This is first rate; thanks for uploading!

This dude was in his 90s when this interview was filmed... talk about longevity!
