Back in days,you could always count on Johnny for a good show. We couldn't wait for him to come on. Thank him for his dedication to his audience! The greatest! RIP JC
Bee Gees is the best true legacy for how many decades because they are very funny, sweet and very amazing talents. 2021 anyone? Singers + Songwriters + Comedians = totally entertaining 😊😊😊
Finding this is priceless! I lived in NYC at the time & saw just about every Bee Gees show in the area all through the '60's & '70's. I remember seeing this appearance on Carson back then but haven't seen it since! I absolutely love the song " I Saw A New Morning"...so glad they did it here. And of course, "Massachusetts" was amazing! Saw them at Philharmonic Hall & many other venues for this tour. I remember getting so excited going to their concerts...my friends & I were super hard core fans! Oh, I so miss those days & times!!!!
There is nothing funnier then Johnny's Aladdin's hat! It makes me really laugh out loud to this day. Comedy just isn't the same without Johnny and other comedians in his class. They knew how to make people laugh.
Seeing the Bee Gees so young was heartwarming. This was several years before they changed to disco music with MUCH success like with their earlier songs.
Even when I couldn't understand English so well yet, but loved to watch his shows and learned a lot from him besides having fun, of course. What a talented man!
With all love and the greatest respect for Robin Gibb, he has the DORKIEST voice I've ever heard, but he uses that voice for what it is. He knew what his voice sounded like, and he used it to make a whole new vocabulary of vocal expression. I am in awe of his talent.
Thanx again for another gem, pannoni 8! Always great to see Johnny and the gang. It's always a trip to see Robert. And The BeeGees were wonderful. (Side note on Robert Blake. Many know he was Little Beaver to Red Rider. But he was also a child actor. His real name is Mickey Gubitosi, and if you watch any of the old Our Gang and Little Rascals shorts, you'll see him. Listen for a kid called Mickey.) Another great show! Thanx again for sharing! Keep 'em coming, please? (edit bc my stupidphone cannot spell properly 🙄 )
Singing awesome harmonious melodies at the drop of a hat and having comedic moments, well, not only were they talented, they were so appreciated around the world by their millions of fans. I am grateul to have been part of the magical era of Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb.
This is the one that I am looking for... the interview of the bee gees where Robin was so handsome 😍😍😍and maurice adored so much Robin for his overload cuteness where Barry can't helped but to smile and laugh...Robin and Barry has a very powerful voice here😁 😁 I love u Robin 😍 😍
Thanks for posting. Heck of show throughout, back when it aired with commercials, for 90 minutes. I never saw this episode..working full time days, 3/4 time school nights on the G.I. bill. It was like having two jobs, but well worth it in the long run. "Putt" was quite an interesting man, who didn't take himself too seriously, with a lot of stories to tell and a great sense of humor. As was mentioned before, Doc subbed for Ed, Tommy subbed for Doc. No biggie.."the beat goes on:)". Oh and the show ends with the band playing one of my favorite songs, "Killer Joy". I almost forgot to give a "like", lol.
1:10:56 hahaha...oww...when Robin was hurting on his left knee because this is one of the funny moments that's why I can't stop laughing with this twin brothers hahaha...😂😂😂😂
The look on Carson's face when the 🎺 started playing Taps! Of course, that's what he was known for, those 4th-wall-breaking side glances... the man was genius! and, I love Bobby Blake. Miss him!
Johnny had the best band in the business. When NBC approached him and asked if they could downsize his band he politely told them to screw off. When NBC moved to Jay Leno they saved a lot of money removing Johnny's band. You have to remember each musician was on the full pay roll. The last horn section used by NBC today is still on SNL. Everyone else dropped the format.
Part of the special occasion about having such a professional band backing Johnny up was during the commercial breaks and sometimes during the show, they would perform popular music and real songs. After 1980 it became possible for record labels to copyright music. With each decade it has now become harder and harder to play music on air without violating copyright. Letterman actually made fun of that fact frequently when he tried to play an Eagles tune. Networks find it easier just to drop them entirely. Members cannot read sheet music because royalties.
Interesting interview with the Bee Gees. Disco was their 'second act' of superstardom, it was their vocal prowess that made them stars in the first place and it shone through in this performance. And Carson, very thoughtful in his questioning, referencing the Beatles without mentioning their name, in terms of how the audience drowns out the music. And we get a hint of another Gibb as part of the musical family, if only things had turned out better (and differently). Sad now that only Barry is left.
I think Maurice was overdoing it a little by being funny. Johnny commented on it about him taking naps. When people are nervous sometimes they tend to be funny and overdo it.
I like most here the part when maurice hit robin's knee with a guitar..maurice tried to comfort Robin so lovely to see the twins...I can see that even maurice can't help but to express how he adored Robin here... 😍😍😍😎
I used to always notice the cigarette smoke off camera to the right of the screen when Johnny was at the desk. Same with David Letterman. He would smoke cigars during commercial breaks and keep them to the left (his left off camera) you would see the smoke some times
He was filming Busting but the movie he's insulting early on in this clip (43:51) is Electra Glide in Blue. Ironically that's the movie that helped him get Baretta
I remember when Johnny caused that toilet paper shortage; it would've been right around the time of this show's original broadcast. My aunt, who managed the local Sears - Roebuck, and Company, started sending Johnny, Ed, and Doc hate mail, after Sears had a 'run on their "Sears, Spring '73 Catalog". The Kopanski's, a family of nine, lived a block away, and made the local news after Mr. Kopanski damn near started a riot at the Acme Supermarket, when they limited everyone to no more than two rolls. The caption under his photo read, "I have seven kids and a wife, we'll go through these before tomorrow morning".
Johnny's not kidding around in those pants, wide-lapelled jacket and patterned wide tie. It's not a comedy outfit. He had his own line of clothing and that was the fashion then. According to his bio written by his lawyer Henry Bushkin, Johnny got bored with the clothing business and refused to model his clothes for advertising for a few hours. It cost him a million dollars and he didn't care.
It's a shame Robert Blake never fully embraced 'Electra Glide in Blue', as it was a really good film, and Robert and the cast did a fantastic job in the film.
I Fought Piranhas Probably he best roll I thought he ever did. I thought that was one hell of movie and an ending that surprised the heck out me. I'm not sure, given thought right now, which ending hit me harder, Easy Rider or E.G.in B. I enjoyed both movies.
I thought Robert Blake was obnoxious. At the end he just shook Johnny's hand and walked away. Never shook Doc's or the producer's at the end and never even cracked a smile at Mo's antics.
This aired a week before my son was born! Kind of cool to hear the monologue back then. I had the biggest crush on Robert Blake, loved him on Baretta. I once wrote him a 10-page fan letter. Haha. What a goofball me.
Question for pannoni8: (Unrelated to this video)--Some of the funnier moments, were with the last couple minutes, when the likes of Stan Kann, Dr. Lendon Smith and Rip Taylor would come on, with their craziness. Do you have any specific Full "Tonight Shows" with these characters? None of them appear on the "Antenna TV" broadcasts..........LASTLY for panonni8: Thank you for posting these great shows! The funniest times were when Johnny bombed, and Ed was laughing off camera. Do you have this episode perhaps to post: The Friday after Thanksgiving, 1981, where James Garner and Regis Philbin appeared. From the beginning of the monologue to the end, there were FEW laughs, and alot of catcalls, Ed laughing, and staff really guffawing off camera. Could you look in your archives to see if you could post this one? I subscribed so I'll be watching for it. Thanks again for posting GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!
There’s a clip of them performing “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?” on the Midnight Special and at the beginning is the sound of audience laughter. At first I was confused at why anyone would be laughing until I realized it was the mawkish gestures from Maurice.
@@kentlewis987 exactly. He would also try to join in when they sang “Holiday” live but Robin would be blocking his way. (Maurice didn’t sing on the studio version either.)
OMG. This is my first time seeing this episode. But the MAIN TAKE AWAY is that the first guy singing from the Bee Gees is CLEARLY the inspiration for Chewy the Wookie in the original Star Wars movie. There can be NO DOUBT after watching this.
rentatrip1 aNd the latent madness and huge ego were obvious even then. A stupid man who had his ass unduly kissed as a child actor and obviously like many ch act couldn t handle the end of the roles and applause and after garnering a few adult roles probably due to his quirky personality the applause died again and he went off the deep end. But got away with it initially because it s not illegal to kill your wife in crazyfornia. Just expensive you d think dianne feinstein would have addressed that in the last forty years
Did Johnny have a character he played named something like "Floyd R. Turbo", or something like that? Or am I confused? Johnny was great and we knew he was special long before we lost him. R.I.P. Johnny...
JOHN: I was thinking the same thing when I watched this. This was probably the least funniest Carnac segments I have seen on TH-cam and Doc sure was NO Ed McMahon!
I have to wonder if this was an early Carnac, the audience doesn’t react the way they normally did and it’s weird seeing Doc do the Carnac sketch with Johnny
Carson hit the nail on the head about Robert Blake liking chaos. He certainly does, especially dealing with that con artist baby mama who was murdered. For the record I believe Blake was innocent of that crime.
I don't know. In another appearance from around this time, Johnny asked him what he'd do if he had a week to live, and he said there were five or six people he'd kill. Johnny pressed him to say he was joking, and he reiterated in deadly earnest that, no, he had no MORAL compunction about murder, that the ONLY thing stopping him is how it would affect HIM, and therefore if he only had a week, he would be perfectly free to murder people who he said just "need to be snuffed out."
17:30...wow,what a long Groovy Saxophone Riff,doing commercial break,for you young people,back than. JOHNNY Carson was broadcast all over the country, and each local STAION would run the Ads,,but than manually, with timing some long ,Some short to reconnect with the West coast transmission.

I think The Rolling Stones have them beat.
Thanks to the uploader! Good grief, I was only in 6th grade then, and am age 60 now. Yeesh!
Johnny knew what entertainment was,he put on such great shows!
Finding this is priceless! I lived in NYC at the time & saw just about every Bee Gees show in the area all through the '60's & '70's.

Doc is still with us. Wish I could thank him.
So glad Johnn Carson was around in my
life... do indeed miss the dude.
Seeing the Bee Gees so young was heartwarming. This was several years before they changed to disco music with MUCH success like with their earlier songs.
See them on the Ed Sullivan show
Worth the price of admission for an acoustic "Massachusetts" @ 1:10:40. Great harmonies!
Robin a Gibb had a singularly gorgeous voice and tone.
Bee Gees were always great, but the pre-disco years were the best.
I don’t know. I think they were all great. But I understand what you mean.
Even when I couldn't understand English so well yet, but loved to watch his shows and learned a lot from him besides having fun, of course. What a talented man!
robin sings with his heart and full of emotion!
With all love and the greatest respect for Robin Gibb, he has the DORKIEST voice I've ever heard, but he uses that voice for what it is. He knew what his voice sounded like, and he used it to make a whole new vocabulary of vocal expression. I am in awe of his talent.
Iconic moment by The Bee Gees in TV shows. Legends.
Thanks for share it.
Wow, classic oldie but goody! Was a teenager when this aired, hard to believe it's been that long, and "Massachusetts" is a classic now.
BeeGees so young and cute😭and talking about their little brother Andy😭😭
OMG I love Robin so much! He had the voice of an angel, now singing in heaven.
Carson provided more real entertainment per episode than any other night time host, ever.
I truly love the moment of Murice made funny to his twin ,Robin ..so lovely 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanx again for another gem, pannoni 8!
Always great to see Johnny and the gang. It's always a trip to see Robert. And The BeeGees were wonderful.
(Side note on Robert Blake. Many know he was Little Beaver to Red Rider. But he was also a child actor. His real name is Mickey Gubitosi, and if you watch any of the old Our Gang and Little Rascals shorts, you'll see him. Listen for a kid called Mickey.)
Another great show!
Thanx again for sharing!
Keep 'em coming, please?
(edit bc my stupidphone cannot spell properly 🙄 )
robin in white suit, cuteness overload! he is most handsome in that time! and his moves are lovely!
I was barely 18 months old when this episode originally aired. I love these classic episodes.
I was 27 days old when this was aired.
I really enjoyed listening to the Bee Gees sing "Massachusetts"
Love the green shag carpet on the platform. Our 70's house had that in the den.
WOW, gibbs were great, robin was great.

I love robin too😚😚
me too love robin!
robin looked like a greek god here, so incredibly handsome!
robin so cute!
Barry was the best looking , still is in 2023 . Now that was gorgeous!
Something is very endearing about the daredevil star. Touching, somehow.
Robin was an amazing singer...

"One does not take nourishment while Carnac works"
whoa the beegees were great before disco, never heard the old stuff be4
1:10:56 hahaha...oww...when Robin was hurting on his left knee because this is one of the funny moments that's why I can't stop laughing with this twin brothers hahaha...😂😂😂😂
Mo smacked Rob in the knee with the guitar, then started rubbing his knee. Lol. Priceless! Robin always had the pipes.
Hahaha...I can't stop Laughing with these twin brothers because it's epic fail lol hahaha...😂😂😂😂
Great show!!
The look on Carson's face when the 🎺 started playing Taps!
Of course, that's what he was known for, those 4th-wall-breaking side glances... the man was genius!
and, I love Bobby Blake. Miss him!
I liked the way Johnny was holding the "family Jewels"!
I was in 12th grade when this episode was on. My parents loved Carson and they got me hooked.
Mo hit Robin's knee with the guitar!!! Hahaha! 😂 Poor baby!
Really miss Johnny Carson, he was the absolute best. Today’s late night hosts are crap.
Welcome to the NWO
Compared to Carson, most of those hosts would agree though.
Agree, class act all the way
That’s for sure
Agreed.
1973....I was 23 years ....since day I was born. Geez..look at how they were dressed...lmao!!!
LOVE hearing the band during the commercial breaks.
Had no idea how good they were!!
@@jamesmack3314 Tommy Newsom and the NBC Orchestra.

Love the part where the band started playing funeral taps before the guy threw the shoes at Johnny....clever stuff! Lol!
Forgot about those plaid pants and Paisley was in back then. Doc was always dressed with trends.
Strange, I'm 56 and I don't ever remember shower curtains being in style and clothing.
This is a great show!

I was LOL at Maurice when they were performing Massachusetts. He was quite a funny guy.

Aww...when the twin brothers are so very sweet. 😍😍😍
This was at the time when Johnny started that clothing line & plaid pants were all the rage.
Johnny took class with him, when he left.
casually smoking in the studio, those were the days
I used to always notice the cigarette smoke off camera to the right of the screen when Johnny was at the desk. Same with David Letterman. He would smoke cigars during commercial breaks and keep them to the left (his left off camera) you would see the smoke some times

Holy crap.
Bee Gees and Baretta....
What a combo
My favorite part about Johnny's humor is how he tries to avoid losing his shit when something unexpectedly funny happens.
Extremely rare appearnce of Carnac with Doc Severinsen rather than Ed McMahon.
Hope it was the last one ..
Johnny's not kidding around in those pants, wide-lapelled jacket and patterned wide tie. It's not a comedy outfit. He had his own line of clothing and that was the fashion then. According to his bio written by his lawyer Henry Bushkin, Johnny got bored with the clothing business and refused to model his clothes for advertising for a few hours.

Wow. Those commercials are noticeably shorter than the ones on television today.
It's a shame Robert Blake never fully embraced 'Electra Glide in Blue', as it was a really good film, and Robert and the cast did a fantastic job in the film.
I Fought Piranhas
Probably he best roll I thought he ever did. I thought that was one hell of movie and an ending that surprised the heck out me. I'm not sure, given thought right now, which ending hit me harder, Easy Rider or E.G.in B. I enjoyed both movies.
First ever Karnac I've seen with Doc introducing him.
Your not alone!!
Not as entertaining as Ed.
That $150,000 house in 1973 that Nixon bought for his daughter and her husband equivalent to $941,898.65 today. Wow!
Johnny and his 'Brady pants'. Surprised Johnny and Doc didn't wear the Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs suits later during the 1980's.
I thought Robert Blake was obnoxious. At the end he just shook Johnny's hand and walked away. Never shook Doc's or the producer's at the end and never even cracked a smile at Mo's antics.
Robert Blake was upset his dress didn't arrive in time to wear on the show.
He was a scary guy who lived way long
This aired a week before my son was born! Kind of cool to hear the monologue back then. I had the biggest crush on Robert Blake, loved him on Baretta. I once wrote him a 10-page fan letter. Haha. What a goofball me.
Fun!!! I liked him too but my mom couldn't stand him! Guess she knew more than the rest of us!!!
I keep thinking that Johnny wearing just his shorts given those plaid pants.
Wow this was aired the day I was born.
WOW !!
I was 4 years old in 1973! 😂
r.i.p. maurice & robin gibb. for all bee gees fans, you need to read the book, the bee gees story by bob stanley. very good read

Still trying to find Blake's very first appearance on the Tonight Show; no luck yet. I think it was May 19th, 1972, can't find it anywhere to view.
Mo was comedy !!

I was in my 20's too, and living the life. What's went wrong since then?
I was in grade 2, learning multiplication tables...
Putt was awesome
Carson binge’n , it’s my thang .
Crazy outfits, to think I was 24 days old when this was taped, what was I wearing?
It's Doc doing Ed's job making the announcements, not Tommy. Tommy's leading the band while Doc's doing Ed's job.
David Fritz yes we can all see that captain obvious
Nice tie, Johnny.
You are correct sir!
Johnnnnnnny is missed.
TIFF TIFF HERE LEADING THE BEE GEES ARMY WHERE IS THE SOUND I CAN'T HEAR MY BABY'S 🙄
OMG. This is my first time seeing this episode. But the MAIN TAKE AWAY is that the first guy singing from the Bee Gees is CLEARLY the inspiration for Chewy the Wookie in the original Star Wars movie. There can be NO DOUBT after watching this.
I miss the nights.
10:17 "May you be visited by a blind Eskimo proctologist!"
I like rubba dubdub...what does a masseuse do to your dubdub!!!
Blake was working on (film) BUSTING 1974 release... with Elliott Gould ....Buddy Cop Flick

Carson: comedy at is best..
Putt Mossman was an Absolute Gas.
Rip Robert Blake 🥲😂🥲
Did Johnny have a character he played named something like "Floyd R. Turbo", or something like that? Or am I confused? Johnny was great and we knew he was special long before we lost him. R.I.P. Johnny...
Yes, Johnny did a character called Floyd R. Turbo!
always loved Bobby Blake
Was that veteran band leader Doc Severinson substituting for Ed McMahon that night?
Richard Bach, where? I did not see him here, yet he is listed.
55:29 what is the song title from the Bee Gees? Anyone?
Wouldn't I Be Someone :)
It’s not the same without Ed
god bless rip
I am sorry, but Carnac without Ed McMahon is just not the same.
JOHN: I was thinking the same thing when I watched this. This was probably the least funniest Carnac segments I have seen on TH-cam and Doc sure was NO Ed McMahon!
Doug Celeste i thought as a kid that doc had no sense of humour that only showed when ed was gone
Absolutely
It could only have been better, if Rickles had a shot at filling in for Ed, but damn, that was great television!
@@davehallett3128 Good point and I agree!
