Heeeere's Johnny! The King of Late Night.

[SoonerP226]

I still watch segments of his show on YouTube, and a heck of a lot of it still holds up.



I wonder how many Americans were conceived with Johnny's monologue running in the background?

He was in a totally different class than these guys today.

That's a proton therapy for prostate cancer commercial with Switzer, but you get a C- for the effort alone.

I've seen the Gobel clip many times, and it's some funny stuff.

Yeah I think that ad was the lead in.

Well, it's a 30 second ad and when it ends, it ends.

I don't believe legacy media had their hands on those folks like they do now with the current line up of late night.

Yup. Johnny was the best. I always loved it when Don Rickles showed up. The king of insults. I probably picked up more of my schtick from him than any other comedian out there. He was a HUGE influence on my life as a young man.

Others that molded and shaped me were...

John Belushi
Dan Aykroyd
Bill Murray
John Candy
Eddie Murphy
Joe Piscopo
Michael Richards
Steve Martin
Richard Pryor
George Carlin
Stan and Ollie
Groucho Marx
The 3 Stooges

I could go on and on, but those are just some off the top of my head.
