The difference with television today is the sterility. There was a laid back, off the cuff feeling of television then. Around the 1990s, it all became so very obviously commercial. Of course it always was, but today it’s pushed down everyone’s throats. Think of David Letterman, he was constantly at odds with NBC and his antics. Today, he’d be canned in a heartbeat, as he pretty much was, come 1992.
Guess what, it's almost 50 years later and I'm still watching Lucy and Carson on this crazy thing they would have never imagined back then, called the internet.
Here we are, 44 years later and yes, Johnny, we're still watching both of you. I'm sure I'll still be watching when we hit that 50 year mark. Miss you both.
I introduced my kids a couple of years ago to Lucille Ball via TH-cam. the one I chose was the chocolate factory, where she & Viv ended up eating most of the chocolates. Such a classic. May she RIP
My Dad had a voice that always put me to sleep. When I couldn't I would go on the couch and he would start talking and out like a light. I sure do miss him
@@jamespfitz No, it's not rough. The drinking canceled out the smoking...Her voice was always a little rough, forcing it was part of the character she played.
Yes, Lucy and John. 45 years later, and you two are still cracking us up with things many of us have seen multiple times. Damned funny is damned funny no matter when it was made.
And 44 years later, since the 1977 air date of the Jonny Carson show, I love Lucy and the here’s Lucy shows are still very enjoyable, entertaining and hilarious! 🤣
She will forever be one of a kind...Just a comedic miracle. I just bought a huge set of I Love Lucy shows from the 1950's. A box full of fun, helpful during these crap times. Jerry Lewis movies, too. He's fantastic. Zany and fantastic!
There's people we see through our lives. Johnny Carson was one of those people I never thought would pass on. He did. But he left behind these shows we all love
Late night tv has been dead since Letterman, ferguson. You could include john stewart and the Colbert report. Not Colbert s late show, that sucks. But Johnny was the start of late night and really rode it through it's glory days. Late night tv in a way lived and died with Carson
And do you know why? He was smart, well educated, worked on himself a lot, had a style, and confidence, was very versatile, always came fully prepared, and on top of that, as a cherry on the top, had a great sense of humor. These hosts nowadays have only a segment of what he had and are there only to fill up the show with some kind of mediocre content in order to sell us some unnecessary and usually harmful products during commercials.
Love Johnny Carson.. Since I was born in Wusterhaven Berlin Germany. When my parents moved to United States when I was little, after my parents divorced. lived with my mother's sister and her husband. I started watching classic shows and movies, the movies and tv shows of today, are just to violent, not saying that all of them are, I just prefer old shows and movies.. Love you Lucy😘😘🥰 I'm still watching " I LOVE LUCY" she's such a treasure. After 44 years, Johnny Carson still going strong.
Right before this I watched a clip from 76 of Johnny with Gregory Peck. Now this. By this episode I was completing my first year of college. I stayed up and watched Carson every night i could. Peck, Ball--the GREATS. In my living room, night after night. I am so glad not only to have seen them perform in movies nad on TV, but to feel like I got to know them a little with Johnny. Did I mention--the GREATS.
OMG I've been binge watching Lucy interviews because I just ended watch Being The Ricardos (LOVED IT!) and I almost instantly knew she was a Leo she is so commanding and talks over people and is of course funny and entertaining, I knew it because im a Leo RIP
That was a very strange interview. o Of course I respect Lucille Ball and love her work but I think kudos go to Johnny for being able to make that interview work.
Amazing Johnny mentions "...in 50 years.." which sounded so far into the future then. Now, we are close to the end of 2022, and that 50 years is almost here. Miss them both.
Johnny Carson TH-cam channel owners and managers ~ Could you *please please increase the volume of your videos* to a normal or preferably even louder (for your subscribers over 60) volume so we can fully enjoy them without heavily relying on CC’s which distracts from your *amazing content?* Thank you so much. We in your hearing impaired community really appreciate it. ❤️🙏
episode 3667: Desk- "Suggestions and Questions from Audience for Johnny" the other guests were Erma Bombeck, Jay Leno and Joey Heatherton. Thursday. Annie Hall opened in theaters the Friday before.
Years later, still watching Lucille Ball Dean Martin show and movies and the great Johnny Carson. Nobody comes even close to these stars years later. They were true talent
The earliest television, and I think Lucy still holds up pretty well, but then again, I'm biased. I watched "I Love Lucy" in the early seventies, when I was a teenager, stuff that was made 20 years earlier. I watch it today through those same eyes and still think it's great. It made me tear up a bit when Johnny asked if she'd be remembered in 50 years. I still remember you, Lucy! I refuse to use past tense: you are a brilliant comedic actor. No small thanks to the great Vivian Vance! Love you, Lucy! And you too, Johnny!
yah somehow 50 years , both are dead now , it was painfull to lose dean martin , but come on also here is johnny , in the memory of Lucille Ball , i heard that , yaah what a lost ! in case you missed , don rickles , yup they are waaay back then ... am expecting , bob new hart , talk show , scratch that , gone ... i don't , know , if he still the are you my second husband !? yah they all look fun now , " waitting for the elevator , am not your 2nd husband also " !??? Ed is dead .
Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett the two best female comedians ever...no one even comes close and yes Johnny we are still watching you all these years later
Love them both.... 2 of the greatest who had absolute respect for and adored each other. There at the end, she knew better than to leave that door open for him!! 🤣
Carson, so patient so polite no matter who his guest is, it's not just because its Lucille Ball. I thought lucy's gift was kind of unpleasant though. I'm not sure I would have liked a couple of hand fulls of dirt covered squirming worms dumped into my palms.
I couldn't believe how rude lucy was.she became so powerful in the industry.she was certainly a good actor,as she could be very difficult and bawdy.she was nothing like the ditsy,likeable woman in her comedies.i've seen worse interviews with her incl. With jonnie.she acted like she preferred her son to her daughter when they were on imterviews with her.
My dads favorite show….How right he was too. Those were the good old days, and I had no idea how good ! I’m now 61 yrs old. Johnny, Lucy, and Ed are long gone. The Tonight Show in the era was something that it won’t ever possibly be again ! 🥂 to Johnny Carson & Ed McMahon !
The best of times. There will NEVER EVER be another Johnny Carson. So miss him. Quit watching night shows waste of time, and did I mention, they have no talent and definitely NO CLASS‼️
Still the best talk show of ALL time.
Oh no comparison
Its Johnny.
These guys today are NOT funny!!! Carson all time best!!
@@thebluedragon1532 they're not funny and they got no class

72 years later
44 years later... WE ARE STILL WATCHING YOU JOHNNY!
....and Lucy.
Sure thing
ominous
@@LordMarlle k
Lol
3:00 and Johnny correctly predicted about watching her show 50 years later.
Amazing, right?
@@S1L3NTG4M3R Ye ye that’s right
Was that Johnny or The Amazing Carnack?
I'm still watching this til now.
It's 50 years later and Lucy is still the best ever!!!
45 years later and we still love Lucy and Johnny. No politics, so trfreshing.
Here we are, 44 years later and yes, Johnny, we're still watching both of you. I'm sure I'll still be watching when we hit that 50 year mark. Miss you both.
Yes!!!! ❤
I introduced my kids a couple of years ago to Lucille Ball via TH-cam. the one I chose was the chocolate factory, where she & Viv ended up eating most of the chocolates. Such a classic. May she RIP
Well Lucy’s show came on in the 50s so we are watching I Love Lucy almost 70 years later. Crazy
I would want Mr. Carson to read me a goodnight story. His voice is the most calming thing I've ever heard.
that's what people used to fall asleep to almost every night and here I am listening in 2021 when I think I watched this when it first aired in '77.
My Dad had a voice that always put me to sleep. When I couldn't I would go on the couch and he would start talking and out like a light. I sure do miss him
True, but you know that's a smoker's voice, just like Lucy's.
@@jamespfitz No, it's not rough. The drinking canceled out the smoking...Her voice was always a little rough, forcing it was part of the character she played.
A sexy man.
Lucy - Aaaaaa what? Johnny - Aaaaaa don't want em 🤣🤣
I've seen a lot of guests challenge Johnny but Lucille is the only one who's able to keep him on his toes. Great gal and wonderful talent
She’s the only one with the clout to do it.
Huh? Johnny was never not on his toes!
Almost 50 years and *I love Lucy* is still hilarious!
And here we are almost 50 years later...
Ya and her it is about 50 years later and people still love her and laughing 😂 at her tv shows.
I’m so glad I grew up in the 70’s.
2 of many goat’s of a lost era‼️
And 44yrs later I still love Lucy what a wonderful woman
My grandfather was deaf, but I was told he always laughed while watching Lucy shows. I think that is so neat!
That is really cool.
Yes, Lucy and John. 45 years later, and you two are still cracking us up with things many of us have seen multiple times. Damned funny is damned funny no matter when it was made.
And 44 years later, since the 1977 air date of the Jonny Carson show, I love Lucy and the here’s Lucy shows are still very enjoyable, entertaining and hilarious! 🤣
I'm still watching Lucy and I'll still be watching years later. I still listen to My Favorite Husband as well
Closest to Lucy was the Roseanne show and the Nanny.
I was watching Jonny’s show right to the end, he was great 👍 wonderful 😊
She will forever be one of a kind...Just a comedic miracle. I just bought a huge set of I Love Lucy shows from the 1950's. A box full of fun, helpful during these crap times. Jerry Lewis movies, too. He's fantastic. Zany and fantastic!
The way she said "I'm serious" at 4:38 was so funny and off the cuff.
This is WAY funnier than anything on TV today!
She was such a treasure.
👍 They both were.
Lucy really opened a can of worms!
I was watching an episode of The Lucy Show the other day. I laughed my a$$ off. Good stuff!
You want to check out some episodes of The Phil Silvers Show (Sgt. Bilko) that's another one that the humour doesn't age
Oct 2021 will be the 70th anniversary of the start of I LOVE LUCY!
If there ever was a such thing as show biz royalty, you just saw it right there!
Why does tv sucks now sad
it's 2021 and Im watching all the reruns on line...loving it :)
Lucille was as smart a star as there ever was. The best female physical comedian of all time. Carol Burnett second, then everyone else
Imogene Coca, too.
I watch this every year.
There's people we see through our lives. Johnny Carson was one of those people I never thought would pass on. He did. But he left behind these shows we all love
I still love lucy to till this day
I still mis Johnny. Late night tv has sucked ever since he left.
Yes
Late night tv has been dead since Letterman, ferguson. You could include john stewart and the Colbert report. Not Colbert s late show, that sucks. But Johnny was the start of late night and really rode it through it's glory days. Late night tv in a way lived and died with Carson
@@drdre4397 yep. After Carson there was no one worth watching at all.
And do you know why?

These hosts nowadays have only a segment of what he had and are there only to fill up the show with some kind of mediocre content in order to sell us some unnecessary and usually harmful products during commercials.
Love Johnny Carson..
Since I was born in Wusterhaven Berlin Germany.
When my parents moved to United States when I was little, after my parents divorced. lived with my mother's sister and her husband. I started watching classic shows and movies, the movies and tv shows of today, are just to violent, not saying that all of them are, I just prefer old shows and movies..
Love you Lucy😘😘🥰
I'm still watching " I LOVE LUCY" she's such a treasure.
After 44 years, Johnny Carson still going strong.
A very great lady.

She is and we’ll always be the best miss her and the rest of them all
I love how she puts the pressure on him. 😂
More class on that stage than we knew what to do with.
OMG I've been binge watching Lucy interviews because I just ended watch Being The Ricardos (LOVED IT!) and I almost instantly knew she was a Leo she is so commanding and talks over people and is of course funny and entertaining, I knew it because im a Leo RIP
Predictive programming pretty sure they're both gone in 50 years later after this interview were watching it. Born in 67 grew up with it
43 years from the date of this show, I watch and absolutely appreciate these two individuals. Johnny was correct!
6:43 - I love Lucille Ball's laugh 😂 😂 😂
That was a very strange interview. o
Of course I respect Lucille Ball and love her work but I think kudos go to Johnny for being able to make that interview work.
shes drunk.
If you watch other interviews with Lucy, she was often like this.
My wife and I watch I love Lucy everyday 💕
EARTHWORMS! His face was priceless!! "JEE - suhs" I would say that Lucy was just a little lit. Probably taped this after lunch.
Amazing Johnny mentions "...in 50 years.." which
sounded so far into the future then. Now, we are close to the end of 2022, and that 50 years is almost here. Miss them both.
Lucy is timeless. 💟💟💟
Why does she keep touching the worms 🤣 this interview is such a hot mess but I love it
Carson knew we would be on the toilet watching him and Lucy 50 years in the future. Lol jk these two are true Legends. Respect. 💯
What's not to love ? Earthy/ down to earth fun . One of the realist Red heads and a Farm boy .
Lucille Ball was a hilarious actress
Hilarious 😂 present. U go Lucy. 🚶♀️
Lucille Ball thought that she wasn't funny as herself. Well, clearly she was wrong! This is hysterical!
A wonderful entertainer. A wonderful person. A fantastic talent. No one like her. Ever
"Stop that Sammy Davis impression"🤣🤣🤣

Johnny Carson is the best, and Ms Lucille Ball is as well ! Would have loved to have met this amazing lady ! 👍❤️
Geez, we're creeping up on 50 years since this first aired, and I can still find I Love Lucy on TV. I bet Lucy would have a fit.
8:50 Johnny's thinking yeah this is definitely hollywierd when Lucy gives me a handful of earth worm's.
Years later, still watching Lucille Ball Dean Martin show and movies and the great Johnny Carson. Nobody comes even close to these stars years later. They were true talent

The most iconic female comedian ever. 😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗😄😄😄
CLASS=LUCILLE BALL❤👌

Ed is dead .
Thank you Lucy😄
and, until I retired in 2017, I used her chocolate assembly line scene with Viv, as part of my lesson on the Industrial Revolution and coping with it.
Lucy reminds me of Shelley Winters on the show. Johnny was a one of a kind shinning Lone Star that I miss.
I don't know when this way originally broadcast but this is 2021 and we still enjoy it. The look on Johnny Carson face is still classic
02:59 "Fifty years from now..." wow
Ha! Forty-six years have gone by and I still laugh at every I Love Lucy episode and I still came here to see Johnny.
So talented. Her physical comedy was delightful. Funny and adorable at the same time, she made you Love Lucy.💖💖💖
Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett the two best female comedians ever...no one even comes close and yes Johnny we are still watching you all these years later
Imogene Coca is in the same league. Others who are didn't have shows at the same time. Martha Raye is another huge comic talent.
I love 💘 💗 ♥ 💓 💛 💖 Lucy still after all these years..
Me too 💖💗💖
Love them both.... 2 of the greatest who had absolute respect for and adored each other. There at the end, she knew better than to leave that door open for him!! 🤣
Three American legends.
A True Class Act. #aREALProfessional #LucilleBaLL
television gold! Lucille is a Queen and Johnny is just too cool. his voice be having me feeling some type of way lol sheesh
50 years later to the year, we’re still here loving both of you! Sorry Lucy, but we still are!
Johnny was right God bless him; here we are 6 years away from the 50 years he said, and we are still watching I Love Lucy. And him as well!!
I watched a lot of Nick at Nite in the late 90s when I was a teenager. Fell in love with Lucy and do many other classic shows. Thanks for the laughs!
In 1977 you could say "I'm an Indian giver" NOT TODAY!!! I DO LOVE YOU LUCY
Carson, so patient so polite no matter who his guest is, it's not just because its Lucille Ball. I thought lucy's gift was kind of unpleasant though. I'm not sure I would have liked a couple of hand fulls of dirt covered squirming worms dumped into my palms.
I loved watching Johnny Carson for years all the way up to his last show when he said his last good night. He reminded me of my grandpa.
I couldn't believe how rude lucy was.she became so powerful in the industry.she was certainly a good actor,as she could be very difficult and bawdy.she was nothing like the ditsy,likeable woman in her comedies.i've seen worse interviews with her incl. With jonnie.she acted like she preferred her son to her daughter when they were on imterviews with her.
2023 and WE STILL LOVE LUCY
Johnny was so right... still watching Johnny Carson and still watching I Love Lucy! I’ve been watching all my 37 years!
The only show we were allowed to stay up late to watch as kids
My dads favorite show….How right he was too. Those were the good old days, and I had no idea how good ! I’m now 61 yrs old. Johnny, Lucy, and Ed are long gone. The Tonight Show in the era was something that it won’t ever possibly be again ! 🥂 to Johnny Carson & Ed McMahon !
Johnny was a class act. Look what we have today. Crass doesn't come close to describing it.
She's talking about death and ten years from then. She died twelve years later, almost to the day. Very odd bit with the earthworms
This interview made me agree with Richard Burton.
bet your ass were still here watching you both in 2022
Young or old beautiful lady lucy❤
The best of times. There will NEVER EVER be another Johnny Carson. So miss him. Quit watching night shows waste of time, and did I mention, they have no talent and definitely NO CLASS‼️
Me too!! I have stopped watching current TV and shows for over a year now. I ❤ the 1970's shows (Taxi, Maude, Rhoda, Barney Miller, etc)....
Amy Yngsdal , miss those shows. ❤️
Only Johnny can ask about sex & not make it sound offensive.
3:30 Little did Lucy know she would pass away on April 26, 1989, almost 12 years to the day this was originally broadcasted.
