Carnac was truly the best of Carson. And, have always enjoyed ART FERN and the TEATIME MOVIES. Carol Wayne always brought something special to each bit.
His monologues, Carnac, The Mighty Carson Art Players and the other skits are such legends created by Johnny. Future generations will never have this great late night television in their lives.
Johnny doing the subtle rock in his seat during the setup, then stopping abruptly one second after the punchline to get the laugh. That’s old-school vaudeville 101 and he learned from the best.
For all the millennials who never got to see Carson nightly...there’s simply no one in today’s tv market that compare. He’s the best and in a class by himself.
Carson's expressions were enough to set off hysterics. The "Thousand Clowns" question was pretty gutsy. Only Carson could have gotten away with that answer.
It should be noted that many of the jokes on this night pertained to broadcasting. On this particular night, Carson was hosting an audience consisting of NBC station bigwigs, thus the jokes about ABC, weathergirls, etc.
I was 22 when this show was aired. To this day I could remember how much fun these guys had doing this show! I remember really wanting to do this for a Living!
This wasn’t actually a show. It was a special presentation for the annual NBC affiliates meeting. No band, playing him on, TV references like “May a weird holy man get your weather girl in trouble” or “May your only daughter go into syndication with an army camp.”
@@duffmiver2636 I never realized that Duff. Thx for letting me know. But, I really had wanted to to this. Many people know me to be funny. I got this quick wit fromMy Father. I’m not saying this to brag. I never thought I could do stand up or anything like that. I know most times I come out with jokes amid conversation. I’m 68, so I remember seeing many Tonight Shows. I feel, no doubt, Johnny Carson was definitely the best at it. I remember some of Steve Allen ( another really funny man ) doing the show. I think 1st. I could be wrong- it may have been Jack Parr.

Shsh boom bah! We watched Carson almost every night at university. I was in NYC the night of his final show. I remwined in the hotel to watch. There were times when Carson would have me laughing so hard I'd be in tears. His sense of comic timing was perfect.
No it's not a typo. I feel you man. You're saying that Carson is a real O.G. The real O.G. of Late Night T.V. Hey! That even rhymes! ♪♫He's the reeeal O.G. (the real O.G.)♪♫ Of Late Night T.V.! (late night tv) ♪♫
the single funniest skit ever created for television... funnier than even anything SNL ever put on. These hold up so well the references may be dated but the humor is still so solid. God bless Johnny and Ed!
@uneedtherapy42. It is important to remember that as funny as Carson's sketches on "The Tonight Show" were, he ripped off a lot of his regular sketches from others. For example, "Carnac The Magnificent" was a ripoff of Steve Allen's "Answer Man" sketch on Allen's earlier version of "The Tonight Show". And Carson blatantly ripped off the "Aunt Blabby" character from Jonathan Winter's "Maude Frickert" character. When Winters was asked why he never sued Carson, Winters stated that he didn't want to create any bad feelings between them.
The best thing about being sick at home was you got to stay up late and watch Johnny Carson. If you got to see Carnac or Art Fern the Tea Time movie host it was epic.

Man, even though I was born long after the glory days of Johnny Carson, my dad taught me to enjoy all the good things from the past, thus I have a great sense of respect for the classics and the legends of what some call the “The Good Old Days” of television and movie entertainment.
The turban was a take off on Alexander the magician (recall Carson was a magician too). I wonder what became of it? It's a real piece of memorabilia for whoever now owns it.
Damn my ribs hurt after watching this. The best parts are always when the crowd would boo one of the jokes or Ed getting to the "last envelope" and Carnac's reactions.... 😂
It wasn’t actually live. I attended the show one time. They had a clock set to Eastern time and the show began when that clock hit 11.30. It was actually in the 7:00 hour Pacific time when the show started. I remember looking at my watch when the show was over thinking that “my family back I. The Eastern time zone was about 20-25 minutes into the show I just watched finish in person”. I guess they would call it “tape delay”.
My two favorites were... "Bi-lingual.....What do you call a lingual that swings both ways?" and... "Siss, boom, bah......Describe the sound made when a sheep explodes."
My favorite, although it wouldn't be too tasteful today, was during the Iranian hostage crisis in the late '70s. Iran's president was Sadegh Ghotbzadeh, pronounced GOATS-ba-day. Carnac said "Ghotbzadeh" and then read, "What do Iranian men do when they can't get women by night?"
I love the gag when Carnac trips, but lands on his (prop) desk, destroying it! A true slapstick, never-fails laugh device! He did not have that in this video, so it is probably in another Carnac segment, hopefully on YT!

@@omi_god So, you cannot see that problem with some of our politicians. There are more than a few owe allegiance to the parry before their people back home. And will not look at answers to a problem beyond the party line. And that exists with both parties. Just remember what wise men and also the Bible warns us of what corrupts people. People do not become millionaires on government pay. Nor do they seclude themselves from the common man unless they have determined that they are an elite. Plus I must admit the society itself has also changed. We have invited the government to become our personal Daddy Warbucks. We think this will give all of us the life of luxury we desire. Unfortunately, sooner or later the piper must be paid. I do not think payday is going to be any fun.
I Just Love Johnny Carson It's Because Of When I Was Little Way Before My Parents Pass Away When I Was In The 70's Um I Was Watching Johnny Carson Show On Channel 5 N.B.C. At That Time I Just Adora Johnny Carson Monologue All The Time & Also With His Special Guess With Ho Don Rickles & Rodney Dangerfield Also Dean Martin & Also Other Special Gest On His Show That's Way I Just Love Johnny Carson & Ed McMahon Those Two People Have Crack Me Up For Meany Of Year's Ever Since The Late 70's Now I Can Watch Them On TH-cam Now I I'm Glad To See It Again & Again I Love Johnny Carson So Much Morn Now......
People talk a lot of stuff on the internet but "Carnac on a roll... this audience would laugh at Dinah Shore backing into a meat thermometer" is actually the best line in television.
+Marie Baudino Amen Marie It is truly sad. Jascha Heifetz is another musician that comes to mind also The millennials and snowflakes will never know what true talent is
I utilized that quote to another comment that merely wrote - “Carnac on roll”. That Dinah Shore one is my all-time favorite. (Just a note: my nephew’s in his 30s & politely chuckles whenever I say this line while wondering “Who the hell is Dinah Shore”!) 🤔
I love how every time Mcmahon would repeat the answer Carson would act disgusted. That was all part of the act! Every time! The fun part was seeing how he was going to act disgusted the next time because he did it every time and you knew it was coming. Gold.
There has never been anyone like Carson. He was the best!!

How about his used car salesman at the corner of Main & the Slausen cutoff. You turn right on Main & cut off your Slausen.

THIS was one of the MANY reason's why Johnny was the "King of Late Night."
Simple. Mr. Carson was, and always will be, the best!!
His monologues, Carnac, The Mighty Carson Art Players and the other skits are such legends created by Johnny. Future generations will never have this great late night television in their lives.
Johnny doing the subtle rock in his seat during the setup, then stopping abruptly one second after the punchline to get the laugh. That’s old-school vaudeville 101 and he learned from the best.
Johnny was the best, and all the other night show hosts have never topped him since! how we all miss him!
For all the millennials who never got to see Carson nightly...there’s simply no one in today’s tv market that compare. He’s the best and in a class by himself.
there really isnt. been binge watching him for awhile now. wish i could go back in time!
Yes and his sketches
U know he and Richard Pryor were close friends
Gen Z here. Sad I never got to witness the height of comedy.
Carson's expressions were enough to set off hysterics. The "Thousand Clowns" question was pretty gutsy. Only Carson could have gotten away with that answer.
How about the "girl with something extra" joke, a transexual joke in 1974. That was pretty gutsy/risky.

Ed sure was lively and involved.

That measurements joke got me off guard. Amazing 🔥
Best late night tv EVER!
People talk a lot of stuff on the internet but "Carnac on a roll... this audience would laugh at Dinah Shore backing into a meat thermometer" is actually the best line in television.
This is my favorite of all-time during the 70's and 80's!
I wish I had lived in an era when people knew who Marcello Mastroianni was.

Amen Marie It is truly sad. Jascha Heifetz is another musician that comes to mind also The millennials and snowflakes will never know what true talent is
sonoran rain I'm in the David Oistrakh team but I completely agree :)
In these modern times, I merely replace Marcello Mastroianni with Kanye West. Leaves everybody rolling on the floor.
If you know who he is, you're doin' okay!
"This audience would laugh at Dinah Shore backing into a meat thermometer" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I utilized that quote to another comment that merely wrote - “Carnac on roll”.
That Dinah Shore one is my all-time favorite. (Just a note: my nephew’s in his 30s & politely chuckles whenever I say this line while wondering “Who the hell is Dinah Shore”!) 🤔
Carnac on roll
“This audience would laugh at Dinah Shore backing into a meat thermometer.” 👍🤟😂
I love how every time Mcmahon would repeat the answer Carson would act disgusted. That was all part of the act! Every time! The fun part was seeing how he was going to act disgusted the next time because he did it every time and you knew it was coming. Gold.
Watching this again in January 2021 and it’s better than ever!!!
