Johnny Carson was the best. It was the highlight of my day to watch the show! Thank you for showing these clips from the show. I sure wish they would show re runs of his show on TV.
Johnny was so much better than I remember and compared to now it’s incredible. He was like a caravan of different people and acts. Ed Sullivan was like a circus but never talked to people.
@@ronniebishop2496 I feel the same way....Of course the shows now are a big fat zero compared to Carsons show. There are no decent late night hosts any more, they are all political hacks now.
@@ronniebishop2496 Don't compare Johnny to Ed Sullivan. Different shows. Ed had a variety show, NOT a chat show with comedy monologue & skits. Ed Sullivan Show was strictly entertainment, yet immensely popular at the time ! A lot of first appearances for many performers, like Elvis & The Beatles. 🤠
I turned off my tv for the last time about 5 years ago. Very little retro tv left on the air. All the new stuff is all wrapped up in politics. I’ve saved 6k in cable bills.
Johnny Carson was the best of the best. Always respectful and gracious towards his guests; and knew how to make the exchanges entertaining to guests, viewers, and himself alike. Booger too was great.
Johnnies considerate and insightful interview with "Booger" is an example of just what an amazing talk show host and interviewer he was. Respectful, even while joking around. Nothing like the people we see today.
Johnny handled Booger exactly right. Johnny's jokes were gentle when he could have really made the man look bad for a cheap laugh. Johnny was consistent that way with all the characters he occasionally brought on who were obviously not celebrities and could easily be the object of cheap laughs. I miss that.
@@Chuck_Hooks He's got to much class , unlike the unfunny hack's on late night now. All of them put together don't have as much class as Johnny has in his finger!
@@TheJudgeofLevelstm I’m glad that I was able to have Carson, Wilson & Carlin as my guides growing up. Carson made me smile Wilson made me chuckle & Carlin most of all made me think. There are other greats of course but those three are my trinity and I’m able to relive my childhood thanks to TH-cam whenever I feel unhappy and need break from this mad modern world that we now live in !
See how Amazing America was back then. I really miss those days. I think we can be there again. God Bless America🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 and God bless Johnny Carson. 🙏👏🏻
My grandma came from North Carolina to Oklahoma on a train in 1907, she actually lived in a half dugout and struggled to raise 9 kids. But after the civil war a lot of black families and southern people left the South during the crazy reconstruction and there are lots of different kinds of people there. A lot of people that get divorced or their spouse dies just can no longer be still so they travel everywhere.
One thing I miss about Johnny Carson is that not every guest was was an A-list celeb, or even famous. He used to have regular people who had won whistling contests, hollering contests, classical musicians. It felt more well-rounded.
I loved it when Johnny had the guests on with wild animals. The one I still laugh at, when the giant tarantula was crawling on a johnnys arm. The look on his face😎 Johnny was the best ❤️
I remember as a kid I loved to watch “The Tonight Show” starring Johnny Carson in the sixties. That’s how good the show was, it could hold the attention of an adolescent. In a way, his show defined an era because his guests were the movers and shakers along with common people of the decade.
The term "Booger" in provincial American parlance is a reference to Sasquatch, a species that seems to proliferate in the less populated areas of Oklahoma and most every other American state with the exception of Hawaii.
I’m from Oklahoma and people swear they live in the Arbuckle mountains and Cookson hills, but I don’t know. I do believe that one on the Patterson film is not someone in a suit.
@@ronniebishop2496 I greatly recommend a TH-cam video on the subject of the famous incident in Honobia Oklahoma. It's a fascinating case and has been widely verified.
My how things have changed. What host would have a man like that on their show. I doubt they would. They would fear being a laughing stock. The jokes on them...we need to see more wholesome, simple and genuine people as this little man so clearly is.
I am a direct descendent of the first pioneer to travel the Oregon Trail via the Barlow Trail. When I was a little boy my family would attend the pioneer picnic in a small town north of Eugene, Oregon and I remember the old-timers saying that they were told when they were little boys and girls that when the pioneers arrived here, they said that they were “in God’s country.” You’ll find out 174
Classy guest, and I mean it. Simple class, lives on the land, respects the land, has fun with the ladies. Nothing wrong or crazy in fact in our rat race WE are the crazy people.
This guy was cool. I think Johnny's timing got thrown because this guy was too real. Johnny made a living by talking and not missing a beat, drummer that he was, and this guy just 'made a living' by just living. Didn't need to waste too many words. Didn't need to talk too fast or try too hard to be witty. The wisdom is in the silences with real men like this guy. Hollywood isn''t really used to that.
I myself have spent some time traveling around, sleeping in my car and You Tube has plenty of channels dedicated to the Van Life. Mr. Ray was simply ahead of his time.
I love how Johnny has genuine respect for this man. Hate today's facination with kardashian. Ellen may have had him as a guest, she I don't think would have genuine respect nor honor for this maverick❤️✨👏🌞💐

If only everyone was as straightforward as this guy, then the world would be a better place. 😊
He's my father's uncle, so he's my great uncle 😁
Now this is tv at its best. Thank You very much Johnny. Rest In Peace.
If late night talk shows still had guests on like this man maybe I would still be watching.
Don't know why talk show hosts don't invite common people, like Johnny always did?? 😊

I'm glad Johnny had this man on.A pioneer, simple man, That man has got stories to tell.Would like to meet him.
The honesty of this guy is so refreshing.
What a character. most people are too afraid to be this unique today.
Booger is far more entertaining than most celebrities.
So polite, and straight to the point too!❤️
Exactly my thought!

~Only a man like Johnny could have made this so pleasant for this young man....🥰
Today , they called these “:van living”. Simple life, which doesn’t sound so bad. Loved Johnny Carson, a true legend.
Amazing Wonderful Pioneer. Hard to find these Days. Thank you for that moment. We need to be reminded, these days.💕🙏🌅🇺🇸🇩🇰😍
Dear Lord, I miss Johnny and Ed. The Tonight Show was so good then.
See how Amazing America was back then. I really miss those days. I think we can be there again. God Bless America🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 and God bless Johnny Carson. 🙏👏🏻
I think social media has caused us to lose something.
This was great and very unique. Johnny Carson was the best host to every guest. A true professional.
"Gotta spare wagon?" 😅😆🤣
In my humble opinion, not a single one of the current late-night "comedians" can hold a candle to Johnny!
This just warmed my heart. Sigh.

I live in McCurtain County, Oklahoma and met Booger Ray several times in my youth. He was always a hoot to be around.
That was great, love when he had everyday people on
Shows the brilliance of Johnny Carson. Hiw he made a hobo into an actual interesting interview segment, is a talent you can't find anymore, anywhere.
One thing I miss about Johnny Carson is that not every guest was was an A-list celeb, or even famous. He used to have regular people who had won whistling contests, hollering contests, classical musicians. It felt more well-rounded.

Priceless American, Booger Ray. Booger even in Oklahoma is a term for Sasquatch.
That's what I was thinking 🤔
A great simple man.

Wonderful Old Timer ! Missed show in 1987. Interesting, solitary vagabond character ! 🤠💓
What a couple of cool guys !!
More entertaining than the last three Terminator movies combined!
Awesome, I need to get a wagon and a couple mules and hit the road...
Traveling around in that wagon for 25 years. He must have an endless supply of stories to tell.

Carson had people like then. I remember the 100 year old farmer mind sharp. After him those folks have to interest if regular people.

“BOOGER” says that he always has “a spare pair”!
:) thank you
I’m proud to have seen this when it aired.
Pride is a sin
Carson patronised this amazing man all the way through the interview - a wasted chance to get some amazing first hand American history!
No
Patronized? He did not.
Man oh man! How sweet the lord
Interview back from a time when Americans were curious and celebrated each other's differences.
Yall this is my grand father!!!!
From Okla used to hear my mother tell about a guy being a booger. Ornery
Booger and other pioneers invented living off the grid, not like these turkeys living in vans today.

Yes, Johnny was related to Kit Carson. I heard him say so one time.

Despite the title of this video, poor Mr. Carson hasn't Uploaded anything sense his unfortunate final download.
Odd, he is just being himself, devoid of narcissism and self regard.
