Circa 1979. This spontaneous dialogue between Johnny and Doc is perhaps one of the funniest television moments ever. This clip was recorded from the 18th Anniversary Show, which turned out to be the only time this exchange was featured in it’s entirety. If you have a chance to purchase the 18th Anniversary show, I would highly recommend it.
The show was so magicaly funny with Johnny, Ed, & Doc.
this is just funny, stoned or straight…:)…Johnny seems genuinely embarrassed that he forgot Doc had gotten divorced. Johnny was a Midwestern guy at heart.
I love it…Johnny’s laugh always made me laugh…This is classic with him and Doc…good stuff
a true classic bit of comedy
I’m 18 years old, and this is so fucking hilarious. I never saw Johnny on TV, he retired the year I was born, but he was a genius. And Doc was great.
Oh Johnny how I Love you!
oh Johnny how I love you!
OMG Funniest Carson clip I’ve ever seen. Maybe it helps that I seem to be on Doc’s level at the moment.
doc was stoned out of his whazoo
There will never be another Johnny Carson
Johnny had a great sense of humor. I believe he is irreplaceable. He will live forever.
THAT was soooooooooooooo funny.
It’s just possible that Doc Severinsen is the funniest person that ever sat in that chair. I can’t imagine Johnny Carson laughing any harder then he did right there.
now THAT’S comedy. lol r.i.p. good friend johnny we your fans miss ya.
carson was awesome!
I love Johnny and I’d never seen this..so funny, my sides are splitting.
No one EVER will be as good as Carson
Tie askew and nose aglow… LOL
This is hilarious haha. Noone will ever be as good as Johnny. Even though I am only 38 I remember watching him all the time with my mom.
this was all of the cuff good stuff ha ha
One of THE funniest bits ever…
I loved how Johnny, Ed, and Doc always made alimony jokes about each other.
Hell as bad as tv today lets just see if NBC will cut all the tapes and get robert osbourne or tv land to sell them.We could watch johnny all night.
Doc : It’s a great occasion in American History.
Johnny: It really is….
That little part just completes this whole clip for me. We won’t see anything like this ever again.
CANT STOP LAUGHING
