    Many have tried, but in my opinion there's never been anyone even close to Johnny Carson.

      We never really saw much of his domestic output over here.
      Yep, DVD was only part of the Carol Burnett show for a short time.

      Here's a fairly complete explanation, or at least one explanation. Supposedly they couldn't figure out what to do with him, or something.

      Like old episodes of Saturday Night Live, Johnny Carson, and others, it's a little surprising how rare the brilliant bits were if you watch complete episodes. People always remember the great stuff from whatever years they discovered SNL, but the truth is that you need to sit through a lot of misses and merely OK bits to get one memorable one. The format is inherently experimental. Not every sketch can be "Bass-O-Matic" or "Chippendales Audition".

        I have nothing to contribute but I want to say that I've been enjoying this thread very much. I'm a sucker for nostalgia.

          Fun thread that works because we old farts all watched the same TV shows. There weren't many options--three broadcast channels furnishing all the content for the entire country. Then cable came along. Then video gaming came along. Then the internet came along. Then streaming services came along.

          Going into the future I doubt today's programs will be as widely and lovingly remembered. Few people will have watched the same shows.

              Exactly. There are quite a few movies and shows that are favorites of mine that I wouldn't have seen the first time (60's&70's) if there had been anything else on at that hour.
              1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

              2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

                The one they did on Latenight was very, very good.
