John Stewart is also another Letterman-level host, a lot of the same qualities, just a bit different comedy style.
@@repealthepatriotact man you cannot touch Connan now, right now he's my all time fav, maybe a little over the top but he's sharp and never ever boring host. I agree Johnny was the king he is the greatest the US has ever had.

hilarious, i thought by the title the trick would "not go as planned", what wasn't planned was johnny's reaction to the trick. dom's set up was great, acting like he didn't know what he was doing and starting to use the broom like a bat.
I like how they’re actually doing comedy and not just talking about the news and politics.. and this is back when they didn’t have multiple channels dedicated to the news
The difference between commentating on politics and being a political commentator. The best hosts are the ones that can make jokes about both sides and leave no clues to their political leanings.

Yeah, but I have no idea why. Dom saying or doing something he thought was funny, and Burt laughing that ridiculous laugh of his, was, well...... crickets. I used to watch those two on Johnny Carson and thought, WTF are they laughing about? Rodney Dangerfield, now he was funny!
The first time I saw this, I laughed so hard I peed my pants! I just love these guys Johnny Carson was one of my favorite shows at night to watch. Don DeLuise is one of the funniest men I’ve ever seen. He is hysterical that same night Burt Reynolds came out and did the shaving cream or whipped cream. Whatever that was,I died. It was so funny. I have never laughed so hard and every time I see it now I crack up! rest in peace Johnny Carson, Don DeLuise and Burt Reynolds you all were fantastic. You’ll be in my hearts forever. I’m glad I got to see you.
I was three years old. Grew up watching Johnny. There's something comforting about getting some hot chocolate and re-watching these. He was the greatest.
Always loved Johnny, and truly sucked when we watched his last show. There will never be another that compares! RIP good sir, thank you for the wonderful memories.
I am fortunate enough to say I saw the tonight show when it aired live and still get a good laugh over the show decades later. Johnny Carson the undisputed king of late night.
I barely remember Jack Parr, but I grew up watching Johnny and all his guests do such hilarious stuff,like this, that you were laughing so hard you cried !! I wish America still had Real Comedians like these guys !!!!
I shouldn't spoil it for you, but Johnny dropped the egg into his briefs... and faked smashing it like Dom's. The egg was down there with Johnny's other two eggs!
I don't know if they were still broadcasting this live on air in 1974, i know they were when it was in New York, but this is probably some of the FUNNIEST stuff I have ever seen. Thank God it is preserved right here for us. I am crying from laughter.
We never missed the Tonite Show with Johnny Carson. What an amazing man. He will always be the king of late night. I took my girlfriend and parents to see him in Jones Hall in Houston. Johnny was hilarious and tailored a lot of his jokes from local events. One was about Marvin Zinler of Eyewitness News. He was a consumer advocate. But he had a bit part in the movie, the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Johnny made good natured fun of Marvin who was super popular in Houston. Marvin’s nightly segment would include him finding restaurants that had roaches, weren’t clean and had “slime in the ice machine!” That’s a line everyone knew in Houston. I audio recorded the Johnny Carson standup with my parents. I forgot I did that until writing about the past reminded me. I’m going to try to find it. I’m sure I still have it.
This is that good old Vaudevillian Slapstick humor and comedy that makes for great entertainment. So few people today even remember this. Today's voyeuristic reality tv is just so empty and lacking in any real entertainment. It is just watching the neighbors thru their windows. This is entertainment that I could watch every day. Miss watching this with my grandmother when he was on live.
Johnny Carson had such a wide generation of fans. I remember watching the show with my parents and grandparents; and everyone loved it. Nobody can achieve that now…nobody…
When I worked in talk radio, I did phone interviews with Ed, and Dom. Both of them were very nice. It's hard to believe all three of these gentlemen are no longer with us.
@@GBLynden no egg on us. We were in the front seating area just to the right of a camera. I was about 13 years old. My parents were close friends with the VP of production. Try and find the entire show because when Burt Reynolds comes on it gets really wild!
I grew up watching Johnny, I like all the videos before I watch them! I've seen quite a few that I first saw in my teens about 40 years ago! He was indeed the master
This was great! I loved the way that Johnny Carson surprised Dom when he started to throw the eggs after the trick!! Pretty soon it was a lot like throwing pies at each other. That was a great trick that Dom did. He must have practiced a lot to get it right. I loved the comedy!! 😅😅👍👏
Dom Deluise was an amazing man. He had talent and class that is hard pressed to find today's performers.. He was a kind man and he loved his work and his family. And it's true that everybody wanted him around even if he wasn't working on the project they just love having the guy around as he made everyone laugh ! A true professional in every sense of the word !! As from people of my generation, he will NEVER be forgotten and is truly missed !!!!
Born after Johnny went off the air and still can't get enough. Long live the king
Good for you! He’s the best
That gives this old guy hope
I was born two years before he did and neither can I! :)
Oh you have so much to look forward to. Nothing like it. Grew up with Johnny. My grandparents, parents & aunts, uncles all watched.
This warms my heart to know that young people are discovering and loving Johnny Carson!
It's things like this that reminds you why he was the King of Late Night
He still is the King 👊🏻💥👊🏻
It's great how he liked a little rough-housing every now and then.
Yea, what were your choice a twenty-five year old movie, or someone trying to sell you something on that other channel.

His voice changed by the end of the bit.

@Steve Gracy Ha, ha! That's a good one.
That over the shoulder glance by Dom at 5:23 is the perfect way to remember him. A real prince of a guy and such a fun loving person.

Discretely is the key word. He didn't want to embarrass Dom and he wanted to make it look like the trick worked. He was the congenial host.
Well spotted. Basically no one saw that late in the evening back in '74.
No one's supposed to notice that... TATTLETALE!!!
Yes. Total class. 💜
Johnny was also an amateur Magician!
When Johnny put the egg into his own belt and smashed it, that showed true class
When late night was good and worth staying up to watch.
Johnny, Ed and his guests spent many late nights between my feet.

“Oh that’s a silly feeling “ indeed..& I enjoyed every second of it
Even the nights Johnny's monologue didn't go so well it was funnier than any of Jimmy Fallon's or Jimmy Kimmel's show's will ever be.
I was 6 years old when this aired. I was not allowed to stay up late. Just saw this and was laughing so hard. The best stuff from 70s television.
The good old days. I need to build a time machine to go back to when life was worth living.
I like how they’re actually doing comedy and not just talking about the news and politics.. and this is back when they didn’t have multiple channels dedicated to the news

they didn't all go in the glasses so jc helped
Good catch. By Johnny, and you!
Johnny knew when to step in and help and when to sit back and let it happen. That is why he was the best.
Johnny Carson was a magician before he hosted the "Tonight Show," so he knew slight of hand.
I'm lovin this jaunty music the band is playing during the egg fight!!
The magical Ed Shaunessy on drums perfectly accenting every egg detonation. Brilliant!!
