I cannot remember the time slot. For you guys that thought he was so clean, your memories must be failing you. While he wasn't outright dirty by any stretch, he had some moments that caused you to raise an eyebrow in the 70's and 80's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-65810662404127627072019-02-14T08:13:38.426-06:002019-02-14T08:13:38.426-06:00Diseased yak bit is a ripoff of Carson.

Standup comedians are now expected to be political and angry. Carson used to do political humor from time to time, mixed with fart jokes and auto-biographical jokes on subjects like divorce and so forth. <br /><br />Part of what made Carson, Letterman and Leno so great was also the guests and bands. I don't think even Carson could make interviews with Lego 2 stars or Ariana Grande funny or interesting.

Yet the execs will blame the lower ratings on Netflix, etc. Try getting hosts with talent and who don't insult 50% of your target audience. Maybe they hired these execs from newspapers.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-36108255931142091492019-02-12T10:09:22.750-06:002019-02-12T10:09:22.750-06:00Yes, I too miss Johnny.Yes, I too miss Johnny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-50505368767377431552019-02-12T09:46:29.473-06:002019-02-12T09:46:29.473-06:00Thank you Kingfish for brightening an otherwise gl...Thank you Kingfish for brightening an otherwise gloomy, rainy day.

People then knew how to tell a joke without vulgarity. I still watch Dean Martin’s Celebrity Roast on You Tube with Don Rickles! Today’s Hollywood would railroad him out. I don’t watch any awards show anymore due to the left responding negatively about our “invasion” that is occurring.
