I was in the audience for this...Paul signed my Pipes of Peace album🙌✌️❤️ My manager was Doc Sevrensen's manager as well, so we got to go backstage before and after the show. Paul pulled up with a Black Corvette, and parked right next to Johnny's car. Mike Brislane, Mark Savalle and I were just hanging around, so when he came up he said Hello Mates.. All I could say was Hi Paul... Great Moment
To Bill, If in fact you were there, did you get the feeling Johnny was “off” that night as far as interviewing Paul? To me the conversation really went down hill from the beginning. But, that had to have been great to be there.
Too bad Carson couldn't tell him that people would be just as crazy for him in 37 more years. Saw him do a 3hr 15min show in 2015 at age 73. Never took a break and was strong the whole way through---and the fans were just as enthusiastic then as they were in '84. Music talent doesn't get bigger than this.
I saw him last year in New Orleans. Best night of my life! Macca and the band were perfect and didn't miss a beat. An amazing and entertaining light show, and the best stage mix I've ever heard. It was pleasantly loud, but without being obnoxiously loud like every other concert I've been too. And the craziest part is I don't think he took a break until the encore at the very end. I am so grateful (and lucky) to have seen him at least once in my life and I hope any and all other Beatle/Paul fans that love him and his music like I do get to treat themselves as well. He is on fire right now, we are so lucky
@@Itsthatguy24 yes I wonder how much longer it's going to be because I noticed in some more recent interviews , Paul is definitely starting to finally slow down ... his voice is sounding differently .... almost slightly slurred as if he's had a mini-stroke .
@@Itsthatguy24 Ah, lucky you! 🙂 I'd give anything to see Paul, but I don't want to part with $2-3K in the VIP seats, and I don't want to see him from the "moon" for $300. 😥
I remember the days when I had to get up very early for work. Didn't matter. Rarely did I miss Johnny. An artist and gentleman in his own right. Anyone Agree?
I totally agree! I started sneaking out of bed and watching Johnny when I was 12. I was hooked for life. All the other tv shows were sitcoms, variety or drams. He was the only one that showed showed how the stars were in real life. But what made Johnny so special was his quick wit and impeccable timing. He was so funny he could just look into the camera and make you laugh. And when a joke bombed he was even funnier. I was late at work more times than I remember because I couldn't miss Johnny.
Johnny Carson was always on in our house as far back as I could remember and so I feel like we grew up with him ... I watched him through most of grade school and high school .
I just started being a huge Beatles fan in ‘83/‘84 and Paul was everywhere. As a 10 year old, I loved it, and I still do. Even stars get starstruck with him. Beatles forever! 😍
Saw THE BEATLES in concert in Minneapolis on August 21st, '65! I was not quite 13 y.o. FABULOUS to have seen them not only in concert but @ the Mpls.- St. Paul airport when they landed & departed the plane! About 3000 of us screaming fans were there crying w/ excitement, holding up signs declaring our love for them & their music! A memory of my adolescence NEVER to be forgotten! A BEATLES FAN FOR ALL ETERNITY!!!!
I like how Paul blew out the candle on John's birthday cake! The Beatles were so cheeky. They really played that up in "A Hard Day's Night" to great effect.
The same year, I was at a club , Fat Tuesday's in N.Y.C. to see Les Paul and it was his birthday . At some point , there was a big chocolate cake in the shape of a guitar . It was from Paul McCartney. Except it was delivered by his doorman from The Stanhope Hotel. Yes , I had a piece. Too bad Paul didn't show up.
This was one of the very few times Johnny Carson had someone on his show who was younger and more popular than he was. Johnny was basically popular in North America, but Paul McCartney was popular all over the world.
@@mattes7844 Nonsense. Paul has been known at least as well and for a longer period of time. The world didn't just forget about him suddenly in 1984. Not to mention, Paul has more hits.
I think Paul was rude to Johnny because he wanted him to play a few chords. And I would be very surprised if Carson ever had that prima donna back. That was painful to watch.
Yes I agree. I thought the very first act of blowing out Johnny's birthday candle and then never saying "happy birthday" was a little rude. Then it got worse from there. It seemed like he was really trying to antagonize Johnny. I can't understand that. Johnny took it pretty well. Paul was pretty arrogant in this interview. Disappointed in Paul right now
@@thomast8539 Agreed. Two legends but two different sensibilities that didn't make for a good flow or give and take, at least on that evening. I thought Paul was being a bit dickish to Johnny but Johnny could be the same way to some of his guests

@@harpoon_bakery162 Not true at all, Paul is actually a very funny guy... all of the Beatles were very witty and hilarious. Not to be rude but your comment shows just how little you know about Paul McCartney.
I just saw this AGAIN - as Paul is releasing McCartney III (36 years alter I saw it the first time). Johnny had it nailed (Johnny KNEW these boys from Liverpool were something else) It is strange how i went back to my little TV set at home. and now I am watch on my little NOTHEBOOK on my huge bed) but is no less existing) Paul just being Paul is the most charismatic human who ever lived. This McCartney 3 is said to be his last musical 'noise" ( as John called their albums) it has a very agitated live we have had, and I do not any other generation had it better than we di. Thanks Johnny you literally taught me to speak english, and thank you Paul you taught me how to be a musician.\ and a man of class.
A classy show hosted by a classy guy in a time that had way more class than today. The current Tonight Show is a mere shell of what it once was. It, and unfortunately most of the country, has been dumbed down. Glad I was around for at least some of the Johnny Carson era.
@@roberthuber3518 I was referring to the dumbed down garbage the lefty liberal hosts spew out now as "comedy". Eight years of Obama destroyed any class and intellect this country had left.
This is fabulous! 😍 When I was a kid from the age of 9 I wouldn't be able to sleep until I heard the Tonight Show theme music coming from the living room. This is a beautiful clip.💗☮️
Carson couldn’t have handled the movie critics giving him low marks(not saying he couldnt have acted). He loved the safety of his show and being number one. He knew he was great at it and that was enough for him.
My friends an I were in line. Was the longest line up in the history of the show, up to that time. Was only a few yards away but wasn't to be. Did see him at movie premiere. Fab week.
Just a nice quiet talk with Paul on public tv. Nothing exciting just a stroll through bits of memory lane. Seems both were nervous a little, Thanks Johnny and thank you Paul
Huh? I think you spelled antifa wrong...but in all seriousness, dem libs are horrid to be around. Controlling sociopaths, we are in creepy times, nwo lib news on every channel.
I never saw this clip of Johnny's show as I was in school or working back then! But I loved to sneak out of my room and watch tonight show from the hallway when my father would watch it at night!
I see Johnny reaching out but Paul having none of it. Apart from the cake, Paul looked all business and there was no feeling of him wanting to bond with Carson. The audience was the only spark in the show!
Ran into him in Oxford Street in Oct. 2003 (he was on his way to his nearby MPL office). A very nice one-to-one chance encounter. Very gracious, came over to me once I had politely addressed him and managed to get two handshakes during the brief encounter. Such a busy thoroughfare, yet most people failed to notice who was in their midst. Will never forget that.
I stayed in line overnight for this show, and I was the first one NOT to get in. Yep, I was just about to walk in and the arm came up to stop me. "Sorry, that's it." I remember it like it was yesterday.
I was 10 when I first heard them. I loved them then, and I still love them now. The Beatles have and always will be very major in my life. I finally got to see Paul Live when he stopped in a town near me back in 2022 on his Got Back Tour. He totally rocked it. I'm so glad I got to see him. This man is a rock legend, and my favorite Beatle.
There will never be two people in show business that have left an impact on the world as great as that of Paul McCartney and Johnny Carson. I had to stop and think which name I would write first... you know what. I don't think it matters. At 67 years old, I am proud to say, I was young when these two gentlemen were prime time.
I remember seeing this when it was first run. At the time I thought Johnny seemed nervous and a friend of mine said the same thing but I don't see that now. Johnny seemed perfectly at ease. I also don't recall this interview making me laugh as much as it did this time.
There is a definite tension in the air in this interview. Johnny is trying to be folksy and personable with Paul, but Paul more or less blows off the Ed Sullivan story, he blows off the typical day question and then he jabs Johnny with a "your show flopped in Britain" jab. There is no developed dialog here and no feeling that Paul wants to be chummy. I just felt what you and your friend felt nearly 40 years ago.
What a great , knowledgeable and witty host Johnny Carson was. what you saw was what you got. And he really made a huge effort to see that his guests really shone, and was totally focussed on them. Ultimate respect to this great Man.
Astonishing to see how the audience reacts to McCartney. His first meeting with Johnny. He and John had previously appeared on the Tonight Show. Sadly, Joey Granola was hosting and it was possibly the worst interview they ever had to endure. They were polite beyond belief, though. I think they were remiss in not telling them Johnny wasn't there. Johnny seemed uncomfortable in this clip for some reason. Perhaps he was put off by Paul's demeanor towards him. Paul has always been gracious when asked about The Beatles' success but here it is, 2020, and he and the group are recognized as having changed the world. In music, fashion and culture, they have had the biggest impact. Their songs continue attracting new fans and will for decades to come.
James, anyone viewing the clips know that Joe was the host that night, Captain Obvious. BTW Tell us how Johnny was "put off" by Paul, you seem to see things that aren't there.
@@tw364 My point was that Paul and John didn't know Joe was subbing that night for Johnny until they got to the studio. As for my viewing Johnny's demeanor? I watched Carson for thirty years and could sense when he was uncomfortable. Only my opinion, of course. No worries.
I agree the interview was a bit stilted. Johnny was trying to be personable and Paul was looking like the promo tour was coming to an end as well as doing the cheeky Beatle thing in interviews. For some reason, Paul was cool towards the Ed Sullivan story, and you could feel a bit of static forming between them. Thank God for the audience. Without that, there would have been no levity in this interview, especially when Paul locked horns with Johnny with the "your show flopped in Britain" jab. Maybe he still had a chip on his shoulder from when Johnny blew John and him off back in the 60s!

Thats amazing!!!
He did pull the guitar out and started to play...only at the closing of the show, when there was no time left.
That is so cool!!!
To Bill,
If in fact you were there, did you get the feeling Johnny was “off” that night as far as interviewing Paul?
To me the conversation really went down hill from the beginning.
But, that had to have been great to be there.
I was sure that when Johnny asked Paul about his typical day that Paul would responded “I get up, get out of bed, drag a comb across my head”.
that was my first thought . the crowd would have lost it and Doc might have played a few bars.
Somebody spoke and i went into a dream AHHHHHHHHHHH AAAAHHHHHHAHAHAAAAH
Just another "day in the life" of Paul McCartney.
That would've brought the house down!
I think that was John's line!
Two ABSOLUTE LEGENDS! what a great time to be alive! Late night died with Johnny Carson.
I couldn't agree more! Johnny was the BEST at his craft just like Paul is the master of his!
Johnny was king of comedy
Totally. Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert don't even compare to Johnny Carson. They're all left wing politics now.
And it was the final nail in the coffin when Conan ended his show
Umm.. David letterman and Conan?
Y'all hear those screams? This was 1984. He was 42. Beatlemania never, and will never die.
He's pushing 80 now and still gets those screams.
57 years after they were on Ed Sullivan he and Ringo are still in the. 01% of famous people on this earth.
Think about that for a minute.
Still gorgeous. I’m now older now than Paul is in this clip, and it’s weird.
Waitin for the woke idiots ( for lack of a more exploitive laced descriptive ) to start bashing this glorious Era

What a classic moment. Johnny's in top form and Paul looks so good.
He looked 15 years younger than 42.Amazing.
Money may not buy love, but it can buy happiness.
For the entirety of Paul's adult life...everywhere he goes in public, he has been greeted with big applause. How did he stay so normal ?
He's a genuine family dude. Even as a Beatle in the 60s he would take weekends with his dad and siblings, never lost what was important

Well - that stinks 😷 !!!!
Love them all 💗💗💗
I 💟Paul and I love Johnny Carson (rip). ☮️💟
Two legends
This channel should have more than 424000 subs.
Two of my favorite personalities!
I was 10 when I first heard them. I loved them then, and I still love them now. The Beatles have and always will be very major in my life. I finally got to see Paul Live when he stopped in a town near me back in 2022 on his Got Back Tour. He totally rocked it. I'm so glad I got to see him. This man is a rock legend, and my favorite Beatle.
I still have a couple of Beatle albums to this day! Paul was my favorite, so cute!! ❤️❤️
Who would throw them away? I still have them all.
Best concert i ever saw Paul mac and wings beatlemaniac forever
JC #1 IM WATCHING FULL EPISODES ALMOST LIKE I WISH I COULD WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL! THANK U JC 4 ALL
Omg what a birthday present. Love ❤️
2:58 In truth Ed Sullivan had said the first three songs were dedicated to Johnny Carson, Randy Paar and Earl Wilson.
Who the phuck was Randy Paar ?
@@joeambrose3260 It was Jack after several drinks.
@@johnmeyer2084 lol
@@joeambrose3260 She's the daughter of Jack Paar.
I think the reference somewhat pissed off Paul because the interview was horrible.
I'm watching this because I'm so sick and tired of hosts interviewing screens I yearn for humanity and this is the best I can do.
Thanx for editing OUT the song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You didn't miss much-just an unnecessary remake of 'Here, There And Everywhere'.
Two great legends!
Paul McCartney, the number one rock 'n' roll statesman.
Carson: There was my problem... go home after the jog. LOL.
2 years ago I was 5 feet from stage, he sat at the piano i felt like we sang, hey jude together. He is a great artist
There will never be two people in show business that have left an impact on the world as great as that of Paul McCartney and Johnny Carson. I had to stop and think which name I would write first... you know what. I don't think it matters. At 67 years old, I am proud to say, I was young when these two gentlemen were prime time.
Great show ❤
If Paul brought me a birthday cake I’d probably stop breathing ♥️
Johnny is my favorite was my favorite and will always be my favorite
I remember seeing this when it was first run. At the time I thought Johnny seemed nervous and a friend of mine said the same thing but I don't see that now. Johnny seemed perfectly at ease. I also don't recall this interview making me laugh as much as it did this time.
There is a definite tension in the air in this interview. Johnny is trying to be folksy and personable with Paul, but Paul more or less blows off the Ed Sullivan story, he blows off the typical day question and then he jabs Johnny with a "your show flopped in Britain" jab. There is no developed dialog here and no feeling that Paul wants to be chummy. I just felt what you and your friend felt nearly 40 years ago.
What a great , knowledgeable and witty host Johnny Carson was. what you saw was what you got. And he really made a huge effort to see that his guests really shone, and was totally focussed on them. Ultimate respect to this great Man.
mccartney such a nice man
It's so nice to see gentlemen in action.
I have this whole thing on a VHS tape.
Same here
Put it on YT since so much of it was cut off here.
Astonishing to see how the audience reacts to McCartney. His first meeting with Johnny. He and John had previously appeared on the Tonight Show. Sadly, Joey Granola was hosting and it was possibly the worst interview they ever had to endure. They were polite beyond belief, though. I think they were remiss in not telling them Johnny wasn't there. Johnny seemed uncomfortable in this clip for some reason. Perhaps he was put off by Paul's demeanor towards him. Paul has always been gracious when asked about The Beatles' success but here it is, 2020, and he and the group are recognized as having changed the world. In music, fashion and culture, they have had the biggest impact. Their songs continue attracting new fans and will for decades to come.
James, anyone viewing the clips know that Joe was the host that night, Captain Obvious. BTW Tell us how Johnny was "put off" by Paul, you seem to see things that aren't there.
@@tw364 My point was that Paul and John didn't know Joe was subbing that night for Johnny until they got to the studio. As for my viewing Johnny's demeanor? I watched Carson for thirty years and could sense when he was uncomfortable. Only my opinion, of course. No worries.
I'm sure that even Johnny got star-struck sometimes!
I agree the interview was a bit stilted. Johnny was trying to be personable and Paul was looking like the promo tour was coming to an end as well as doing the cheeky Beatle thing in interviews. For some reason, Paul was cool towards the Ed Sullivan story, and you could feel a bit of static forming between them. Thank God for the audience. Without that, there would have been no levity in this interview, especially when Paul locked horns with Johnny with the "your show flopped in Britain" jab. Maybe he still had a chip on his shoulder from when Johnny blew John and him off back in the 60s!
Even Johnny Carson can't beat the takent and star power of Sir Paul.
Talent.
R.I.P. dear Johnny Carson.
awesomeness!
I'm just speechless watching Sir Paul McCartney.....
My two faves😍😍
He actually did break out the guitar at the end of the show. Not shown in this clip. Played You Are My Sunshine.
What can I say- Legends know Legends😏
