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

Back then the whole world was in a better different class.

Man, if you want to see Carson's talents on display, look up his appearances on the Jack Benny Program. He wasn't some yammerhead sitting behind a desk, he was a multi-talented entertainer in his own right (much like Benny himself).

On a related note, I recently listened to the latest season of the World's Greatest Con podcast. It was about Project Alpha, which was hatched by a couple of teenaged kids, with the assistance of James Randi, to expose the sham of paranormal research back in the early '80s. One of the first episodes talks about Uri Geller and the role Carson, himself an amateur magician, played in exposing him. It's funny how a guy primarily known as a comedic entertainer applied more rational effort in investigating a psychic phenomenon than the supposed scientists who were the target of Project Alpha...

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.

I actually met a woman and her daughter at the crazy eye clinic that knew George Gobel from his time there

James Randi was the bomb, and he was ruthless in his pursuit of frauds.

Houdini was also a big fraud exposer. He spent a long time exposing medium frauds.

Those are all gooduns, but shamefully, I like the "filthy mouthed" comics. Blame it on my dark humor.
