On a few 1974 shows when both Ed and Doc were off, Carol filled in as announcer/sidekick . . . would imagine how she would have played foil to Carnac. We all know how she played off Art Fern . . .
One time at the end of a show, Johnny brought Carol back on to the guest chair for a closing interview. She wore a tight and very light monochrome (probably white, I had a black & white TV set) jump suit. Johnny complimented her outfit, comparing it to ice cream. Carol replied, “Don’t I look good enough to eat?” Great howls of laughter ensued.
@@hankkingsley2976 When it came to doing to Johnny what Colin Mochrie does to Ryan Stiles? You bet! And, in that regard, the late, great Mr. Newsom is certainly funnier than Jimmy Fallon.
Gotta word this carefully to avoid censor, but many 'suspect' she was murdered while on vacation in Mexico with a rich shady boyfriend who quickly left the country after her body washed up on a beach; officially ruled drowning.
@@JD-rt8ym If he wasn't part of the skit, why would he? Forgoing rehearsal of that segment POSSIBLY gave Ed the opportunity to exit the NBC studio building, cross the street, Alameda Ave., to Chadney's (cocktail lounge, restaurant, live jazz) for a belt or two. (ed. - I say "possibly" -- it's just a supposition). Stone sober, or lit, McMahon's laugh was a great bonus to watching and listening to "Tea Time Movies". It's like when comedian Rodney Dangerfield would do his "I don't get any respect, Johnny; I mean, just the other day . . . " set for several uproarious minutes and the sound of the band members 'falling on the floor' with laughter was part of the fun of watching.
Yep! The premise being that it was one of those afternoon TV programs using old movies as fillers for the long-winded commercials. Sort of a forerunner of the modern "infomercial."

But three months before that mysterious and suspicious death in Mexico, Johnny lined up his next, and last, Matinee Lady - Teresa Ganzel, who would be his foil in the sketches to the very end of his run.

Believe me. Tommy gave back just as good as he got. Most of the time, literally all he had to was stand there and look at Johnny, with that Mount Rushmore expression of his, just to make Johnny break up (Sisboombah-style)!

One time Johnny interviewed Carol after a skit, and she mentioned that it was hard for her to shop for bras because she wore a 34D and that size was hard to find.
“Liberace’s weenie candelabra.” That’s hilarious!🤣 Always loved that cheesey salesman bit. It’s so funny because it’s not far from the truth with some people in sales and marketing.😂
@@lewisc215 If you want to make bags of money then you have to play to the lowest common denominator in an audience. This childish garbage got Johnny a waterfront home in Malibu. And almost without exception every comedian has to to do this form of humor when they are starting out. Eddie Murphy, Tom Hanks, Jim Carrey all had the same idiotic schtick when they began. It's all about appealing to the masses. Even emerging comedians such as Harry Windsor and Meghan Markle have had to go low to get mass attention.

It is very ironic that cremation was mentioned in this skit because after she died in Mexico, Carol Wayne was very shortly after her death, cremated and her ashes were buried in an undisclosed cemetery plot. Apparently her remains were buried in California. Very sad and ironic.

Supposedly drowned in 3 feet of water, very suspicious. Her ‘boyfriend’ had already checked out of Las Hadas resort when her body was found. Beautiful lady, tragic end
When I was a young teen , mid 60's , we dropped everything at 10:30, Johnny came on , I came home earlier than I planned because I'd had a few more beers than I should have , I'm 17 , I'm crying at Johnny and Ed , and I guess my mom could tell and she said , " What have you been drinking ?" , and I said , " I think it was a Strohs' ". Johnny's humor had already rubbed off . R.I.P. Johnny , you were and will always be the best .
Crazy. Tommy Newsome in blackface. That would not go down today. I guess it did 1981. Tommy was great. Probably.was the whitest guy in America. He was very funny.
Better still when it ran to 1:00 a.m. ET/PT. Sadly, in 1980 cutting back half an hour -- from 90 mins. to 60 -- diminished the frequency of "Tea Time Movies" sketches, thereby reducing Carol Wayne's appearances. In addition Carson's work load changed over the years with Mondays off, then later, working three days a week. Substitute hosts filling in sometimes did wonderful jobs but NO ONE would / could touch "Tea Time Movie" -- Carson was the ONLY Art Fern.
@@scvandy3129 - This was only one of two appearances Ms. Wayne did as the "Matinee Lady" after Johnny so cut his workload. The other was her last, in January 1984. In-between, he tried out Danuta Wesley at least twice as the Matinee Lady (one of which turned up in a "Carson's Comedy Classics" episode); three months before Carol drowned, the "King of Late Night" had his final Matinee Lady - Teresa Ganzel - lined up.
I think this is my favorite teatime movie of all of them. I think it’s amazing how Johnny could rattle off all that fast talking spiel without missing a beat. He rarely stumbled over the entire bit.

One of the few Carson running gags/characters that I never thought was very funny.
"You'll be up to Mi tomorrow". LOL
When I was a young teen , mid 60's , we dropped everything at 10:30, Johnny came on , I came home earlier than I planned because I'd had a few more beers than I should have , I'm 17 , I'm crying at Johnny and Ed , and I guess my mom could tell and she said , " What have you been drinking ?" , and I said , " I think it was a Strohs' ". Johnny's humor had already rubbed off . R.I.P. Johnny , you were and will always be the best .
Crazy. Tommy Newsome in blackface. That would not go down today. I guess it did 1981. Tommy was great. Probably.was the whitest guy in America. He was very funny.
A wiener candelabra? So funny, I'm sure Liberace would have laughed
Things have really changed.
Those were the days, Johnnie at 11:30, best monologues ever!
Better still when it ran to 1:00 a.m. ET/PT. Sadly, in 1980 cutting back half an hour -- from 90 mins. to 60 -- diminished the frequency of "Tea Time Movies" sketches, thereby reducing Carol Wayne's appearances. In addition Carson's work load changed over the years with Mondays off, then later, working three days a week.
Substitute hosts filling in sometimes did wonderful jobs but NO ONE would / could touch "Tea Time Movie" -- Carson was the ONLY Art Fern.
@@scvandy3129 - This was only one of two appearances Ms. Wayne did as the "Matinee Lady" after Johnny so cut his workload. The other was her last, in January 1984. In-between, he tried out Danuta Wesley at least twice as the Matinee Lady (one of which turned up in a "Carson's Comedy Classics" episode); three months before Carol drowned, the "King of Late Night" had his final Matinee Lady - Teresa Ganzel - lined up.
What memories, the best
The heartiest laughs came from Ed McMahon!
I just laughed for ten minutes straight.
