35:06 On the rare occasion when Mr. Carson would leave home base and shake hands with a guest after a performance, one knew that he held that person in high regard. Thank-You for sharing.

American Flag worn as a Headband, done RESPECTFULLY!! Always loved this version! Great upload! 👍

[@JazznRealHipHop]

Ummm, except that’s not the American Flag. That’s the Stars and Bars, same flag used when southern states decided they didn’t like this country because it wouldn’t allow slavery. And used extensively by the KKK and many others looking to suppress civil rights for minorities. I’d also argue using the American Flag as a headband for your sweat is NOT RESPECTFUL!! 👍

[@NoelComiX]

It’s stars and bars, I’m not saying that’s bad, but you can see the angle. It’s a great version, Pet Shop Boys is my fav. Cover.

[@AldenRDavis]

I love classic Memphis commercials

[@pinedelgado4743]

Yeah!! They're gear!

[@winonafrog]

Thanks! Great ads too!

[@kittendiotima4212]

That was fun at the end when Johnny let the retiring guy sing in front of the big band

[@thegameshowguy1]

I couldn’t tell if it was real or if it was staged. It looks way too good to be staged.

[@Landrew1208]

I expected him to have a good voice... yikes lol😂

[@TheBoz777]

I so wish I had more to upload, but we only taped this one since Dick Manley is family and his appearance on the show was a big deal for us.

[@TheBoz777]

@@MyThirdPlaceLtd Unfortunately, no. What you see is all that was on the tape.

[@kevinhodge1221]

40 years ago I really didn’t care for Willie Nelson but now I seem to be interested or I really feel sorry for him and 1989 with tax man

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

I try to watch other stuff but it’s all just garbage so I end up back on Johnny.
