Never be another Johnny January 27, 2005 Kristin J. Johnson (Hilo, Hawaii) 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
The above is a direct quote from my late grandmother. When she was depressed or unhappy, these tapes comforted her and made her laugh. We watched these tapes so many times that I could predict exactly when the animals would pounce on Johnny--but then, the animals always pounced on Johnny! For a warm personality he was not fond of his wild guests of the four-footed variety...although I can't blame him for getting squeamish when the beetle crawled up his suit!
br /
br /The one thing I would ever critique about Johnny is that David Letterman getting jokes as opposed to Jay Leno, who did a whole show on Johnny with obvious love, seems a bit like picking a favorite child. Jay's humor and grace always seem more Johnny-esque than the overly self-satisfied Dave, who laughs entirely too much at his own jokes as opposed to Jay, who laughs mostly at himself.
br /
br /But Johnny is still the king of late-night, having walked through the invisible curtain onto Heaven's stage...do you think the angels trumpeted, "Heeerre's Johnny" when he arrived in Heaven? Johnny's son Rick has surely welcomed him Home. When we saw into Johnny's personal foibles and a bit into the life of this fiercely private man, it meant something, especially in our exploitative showbiz culture.
br /
br /My favorite moments, too many to list:
br /
br /* Dyan Cannon laughing over her new romance and making comparisons with Johnny as a boyfriend
br /* Liz Taylor saying in response to Johhny's "I was married to a Pisces": "I'm sure you were!"
br /* George Carlin's Hippy Dippy Weatherman
br /* Drew Barrymore before she decided to become a political expert
br /* Joey Lawrence and the kid from Parenthood who said he thought he looked "cute" on the monitors
br /* The spelling bee champ who asked Johnny to come to his birthday party and gave away Johnny's birthdate
br /* The potato chip lady
br /* Steve Martin's "The great Flydini"
br /* Drew Carey's first appearance
br /* Bobby Kennedy
br /* A picture of a long-haired Arnold Schwarzenegger
br /* A Tarzan skit with Betty White
br /* Duet with Julio Iglesias, Johnny playing Willie Nelson (Julio can barely finish the song for laughing)
br /* AH! The Bette Midler tribute!
br /* Anything with Jimmy Stewart
br /* Jay and Dave's debuts and Joe Piscopo imitating Dave's laugh
br /* Roseanne Barr
br /* Bill Clinton's appearance (no interns under Johnny's desk)
br /* Flip Wilson and Pearl Bailey
br /* Tiny Tim!
br /* Elizabeth Martineau working on Johnny's feet and telling him he would remarry again..."not with a woman"
br /* Jack Webb's appearance
br /* Johnny's imitation of Ronald Reagan!
br /* Stevie Wonder's appearance on the "inside look" at the making of the show

br /Great collection. I'm sure the DVD is superior but...this one has sentimental value. Thanks Johnny and we bid you a very heartfelt goodnight.

Funny and Fabulous! - Johnny Carson Shines August 23, 2001 L. M. Boilard (Jacksonville, FL USA) 54 out of 55 found this review helpful
If you loved the Tonight show with Johnny Carson, you will love this!! I bought it for my Dad this past Christmas. The whole family sat around and watched it together. We had a great time, even my nephews who are 16 and 17 were laughing out loud. It was both funny and sentimental. My Dad espically liked seeing the old stars. Like the reader before me, Jimmy Stewart's a dog named BO was one we all got teary eyed over. The last show with Bette Midler and Robin Williams was fantastic. Robin had us rolling on the floor! And the lady with the potato chips was a hit with the younger people. To many funny things to list. (make sure you don't throw out your back laughing) This is a wonderful collection for most ages. A true Masterpiece.
Johnny Carson: His Favorite Moments From the Tonight Show Gi April 18, 2001 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
Worth every penny!! This box set will make you laugh out loud and Jimmy Stewart may even bring a tear to your eye. This is my first taste of Johnny Carson (I'm English!) After this introduction I am a true fan. Five stars!!!
