    Would give anything to be a kid again and from my bed (after my parents made me go to bed) hear Johnny Carson's voice coming from the TV in the living room and hear my dad laughing while sitting in his recliner. R.I.P. Johnny. R.I.P. Dad.

      Bill Gram told a great joke about a guest preacher at some church that was supposed to speak for about 15 minutes.
      Well, the guy really got into it and was still talking after a half hour.
      That's when the churches regular preacher sitting behind him couldn't stand it anymore and picked up a Bible and threw it at the guest preacher.
      The Bible missed the preacher and hit a woman seated in the front pew.
      She said in a loud voice "HIT ME AGAIN! I CAN STILL HEAR HIM".

      They've all been subjected to the politics of the day. The display of political compliance/obedience was just as prevalent then as it is now. The only difference was back then it was technically easier to dupe people in those days into buying whatever they were selling, as their audience had little in the form of a communication forum to discuss and banter current ideas and issues back and forth.
      Today, talk show hosts like Seth Myers and Jimmy Kimmel are much more loyal to one side of any given issue as are their audience members. Thus we have what *appears to be a cohesive culture prevailing in America.

      The comment was funny and isn’t it amazing that there was no cry of “racism “. Richard Pryor just gave that hysterical look! Everyone knew the comment was born out of not dealing with children of color, not to be offensive to any race. I miss those days when you could laugh at the inexperience of people instead of assuming they have hate in their comments.

      Pryor was laughing at the doctor because the doctor is tactless and ceaseless. Both times that the doctor interacted with pryor, the doctor made it about race. That is exhibit A, when you address someone and the first and only thing you see is race even when the matter at hand is not race.
      Secondly, when Carson injected Pryor back into the conversation with a fictitious quip about Pryor's children, the doctor again makes the interaction about race but then says that when a black parent brings a black child to him (the doctor) for a skin rash, suggests that he (the doctor himself) cannot see any rash because the child is black. The suggestion is that he can only see black, as if to say that a rash is not visible if the skin is of a black person. This is exhibit B and exhibit C is that at precisely this moment, Pryor stops laughing and takes a sober demeanor, presumably because the doctor was no longer a funny buffoon to him (Pryor) but instead, a rude, glib and casually racist old man.

      Which is what we USED to do with late night. I would have never known their stupid politics if they just kept to actually being funny. And yes, their political jokes were funny when they were using it as a joke, and they joked BOTH sides of the political spectrum. Funny is funny, hosts tirades about social justice, jerking tears about life, isn't funny, isn't cute, and I turned off a long time ago. To all of them. Now they are loser hacks, with bad writers, or with motives we don't come to late at night to relax!

    When Johnny says "Richard is going to do his handkerchief magic trick..." he sounded so hopeful to break up the doc's oration, haha 😄😆. Tim and Richard were the cherries on top for this priceless clip....miss the Tonight Show with Johnny...

    I bet this interview is still going in heaven! May they all rest in peace, they probably never imagined they will be entertaining many many years after their deaths.

    This is just a humor and mentality that we've lost along the line. Some call it progress, but I call it 'a drag'.

    Tim Conway was born laughing but if you can get Pryor to make those faces you accomplished something.

      Especially when the doc was pretending to see a rash on a black child....Richard just kind of looked almost into camera with a slow burn. But he kept laughing!
