This is why Carson will always be the greatest. His sincere appreciation for all disciplines of the performance arts. And his respect for all types of performers.
@jesusranch34 Yes. And his appreciation for his viewers, as well. Never, ever foisted his personal feelings about religion or politics on his audience. So cool.
I enjoyed Marcel Marceau’s ironic cameo in Mel Brooks’ film, Silent Movie. Edit: Ironic, because he speaks in the film. A mime speaking, for the first time on film, in a movie that is completely silent. Brilliant.
When ever Marcel or other mimes or clowns appeared on any show - Ed Sullivan, Carson - I would change the channel and then turn back to the show when their act was over. Just entertainments that were not my cup of tea. Thanks so much for posting Carson!
I've been blessed to have seen Marcel Marceau live in the 70's at St Louis Powell Hall. Thoroughly captivating. "The Alchemist " act was otherworldly. Always a Marcel Marceau fan. A true Legend of the Arts 💜
love how Johnny steps into mime . We ought remember how he climbed into the business from being a magician to being one of the greatest entertainers of all time. He eventually not only took time off but had the network pay for it . Brilliant!
Marcel Marceau was Johnny's guest many times. Johnny always came across as fascinated with Marcel's skill which drew me in. Two legends that were always great.
Oh that was brilliant! I loved Johnny C learning from the genius Marcel! It has to be one of my favourite uploads so far! Thank you so much for sharing it with us so everyone can learn about the art of mime from the Master!
Fun stuff... I have to comment though regarding The video portion where Johnny is asked to lift Marcel and at first he can and then Marcel tells Johnny to lift him again and Johnny can't lift him. Marcel's claim is that energy is pulling him towards the floor - what Marcel does is one of the oldest tricks in the world. You can make the same claim to a friend that you have the ability of using your energy to draw you toward the ground. Here's what you do and it's exactly what Marcel did:. In the same manner as shown on the show ask someone to lift you from behind but stiffen your body. They'll be able to lift you up. Then have them release their hold and slump and loosen your body, If they can even get you a quarter of an inch off the floor it's quite a feat. This is exactly what Marcel does in this demonstration. First he stiffens his body making it easy for Johnny to lift him then on the second try he simply totally relaxes body and Johnny has difficulty. No magic or mysterious energy is here just basic physics. But I agree with the others Johnny was an absolute treasure at what he did Jay Leno was too. Best of all both Johnny and Jay when you watched them on The Tonight show, you had no idea what their political beliefs were or their political party; they were there to entertain everybody, All of us who were watching, as one big family. Something that is sorely missed in today's late night talk shows - they could learn a lot from Johnny and Jay.
As you're uploading these new excellent videos, might you please in the description say who the other guest(s) are please, especially for those a little younger who can't recognise who are on the chairs! Thanks so much for these incredible uploads. I've rediscovered my love of Buddy Hackett!
The 1970’s was perhaps the prime of The Tonight Show. Edgy enough because the times allowed it. Brave enough because people were allowed to talk about social issues without censorship. Funny enough because people could take a joke and not get easily offended. The talk shows today are a joke, doesn’t matter if they’re late night, early morning or afternoon. Celebrities like Kylie Jenner are cardboard, they are so one dimensional and boring it’s probably better if the host didn’t have anybody. What happened in this Tonight Show clip could never happen again. America has two younger generations that are extremely sensitive and the controlling of everything by big corporations ensures that money is all that matters.
@@jpc2470 Thing is, most people didn’t know that. I know Kylie Jenner is full of crap because she is always on her social media profiles and she has done little besides being a socialite. It’s so painfully obvious. Johnny Carson and his generation were more subtle. I don’t even like John Wayne, largely for his conservative politics. Nobody is saying these old Hollywood entertainers were perfect behind the scenes, because they weren’t. People are too wrapped up in learning about celebrities outside of their show business persona and modern Hollywood culture today is a joke. I’ve been there several times over the past 10 - 15 years. In conclusion, Hollywood did a lot of stuff behind the curtain, but because technology was limited to a small television and only reading newspapers and magazines, most people didn’t know about the bad things.
No disrespect, but... I don't get it. I know what mimes do, but is this really all that impressive? He was far more interesting during the interview than performing.
I may be the rebel in this bunch here. But pantomime always seemed silly to me. I understand it was a fad back in the 60s and 70s, but today…? When something is popular everyone seems to become interested in someway. I understand that.

This show I never got tired of and there never was a dull moment on his show ! !
You don't have to use exaggerations to praise things, you know that right?
@@DNYGdj @pattibrooks1907 wasn't exaggerating, imo. I feel the same way about Carson's show. Tell me, were you around when these aired originally?
You know they play it every night on antenna TV? I DVR it and watch it every night , still funnier than any of the late night hack's on now!

@jesusranch34 Yes. And his appreciation for his viewers, as well. Never, ever foisted his personal feelings about religion or politics on his audience. So cool.
True. He gave a lot of people their first national exposure, and always had an interesting show.
P
If that would have been Fallon, he would have rolled on the floor choked up in giggles. 🤭
He's definitely a awesome man!!

Marcel sure was great!
Incidentally, I had a girlfriend who was a mime. One day she just left without saying a word.
🤣🤣 cute!!!
HA HA HA !!!
She may have left a note
She said two words in pantomime and it only took one finger.😂
Ba- dum- ding!
i loved listening to Marcel Marceau mime on the radio growing up
Me, too! And I had all his records!
@@jackkomisar458 and I still collect his 8-tracks.
You really had to use your imagination, something the kids today don't appreciate!
I always loved him. ❤️
Miss you Johnny.
Fascinating man….talented. I think you have to study people so strongly…
I had a buddy who was a black belt in Aikido he performed these same things to me and others. It was amazing the things he could do....
I dated a guy who studied Aikido, the masters (can’t think of his name) videos are still amazing
Resistance was on TV last night which was about him in WWII, he saves thousands of lives.

Marcel Marceau and Johnny Carson are two legends!
A great artist and a great war hero.
I miss these times. I mostly regret I did nor fully embrace the beauty of them at that time. It truly was the greatest peak of humanity.

I saw the same thing
Just wonderful! Miss'em both.
I listened to this interview with the sound off and it made better sense.
too good , truly.
Marcel was the greatest.
I didn't know until I just watched a movie. Marcel is a war hero. Bless him.
No solo el lenguaje gestual y el dominio del cuerpo para expresar, sino que también con una cuota siempre de humor. Marcel Marceu extraordinario
EXCELLENT ❤️❤️❤️
Never a dull moment here until now
I agree, mime is dull. Sorry.
Buddy Hacketts line “I knew it, it’s a girls bike” stole the moment.
I remember him he was on Ed Sullivan show a lot great artist
I got seasick just watching him!
Awesome
Bravissimo !!!
Just a different era- does anyone in show business work harder than Johnny or Mr. Marceau?
That bulldog in the brown suit is ridiculous in this episode, which is one of the best.
Johnny Carson is a National treasure
Marcel Marceau Fierté de la France pour le monde.
Love ❤️
That combover..... ugh
"But I made you a fortune with the talking Marcel Marceau doll!"
What the world needs is more frickin mimes.....😀
I love you Johnny
Born to Jewish parents, Marceau changed his name because he needed to hide during the war, choosing “Marceau” to honor a historic French general.
Wow! Didn't know that til now. Thanks for the intel! Is that your real last name?
Marcel served in the Jewish French Resistance according to his wikipage.

My favorite skit is Carnac The Magnificent
😍😍😍😍😍
A rough gem to polish, Jonny had to go n flow to keep it there . ❤
I just watched a movie about Marcel and the French resistance. He saved thousands of children from the Nazis
i want that suit johnny's wearing! is it in your archives? please mail to me!
The good ole days… Before CZcams

This guy taught Michael Jackson his dance moves. Really.
Can you show this episode with Buddy Hackett? Thanks!

What's the date of this show
I wonder what happened to this particular desk that he has here in this video...
✋
I think he meant Chinese, not Japanese. Chi is prana, I think...Chinese medicine & philosophy. Prana is associated with Ayurveda and the yogic system.
"Optical illusion" Just bends knees... k
he was a talking mime.
ad this is why jerry lewis was a killer in france
He Looks a bit like Gene Wilder.. o.O
I honestly thought it was James Caan when I first saw the thumbnail
@@chiefscheider
Yeah.. ,!
Fair 'Nuff.(!) I can Definitely See That Now as well. !,
Wait...Marcel can talk?!
Just like Teller.
This is a lost art , probably wouldn't work in today's society. This generation doesn't get this kind of stuff and doesn't have the attention span!
I agree, though if it’s any comfort I’m 19 and was captivated through the entire video :)
@@kevingillespie5242 That's good to hear , I'm sure most of your generation probably would think it's stupid or not be interested.👍✌️
There are mimes still, but not in the same way. They pretend to be statues.

I don't get it! His chi stuff was nonsense, and his act to me was beyond boring. Oh well, to each their own I guess!
Being the greatest mime is silly. Like being the greatest farting tap dancer.
You don't sound like the brightest crayon in the box. 😐 🖍
@@lemurianchick based on a silly joke you’re making a blanket statement. You’ve exposed your own own ignorance. Now time for your nap, grandma.
Not sure what those two have to do; one from another -

But okay.. .
You are a fool
You probably hate clowns, vegans, the unvaxxed and anything else the bandwagon riders tell you to hate.
I have a few of his RECORDINGS.
MOST FAMOUS MIME... LOL ARE THERE ANY OTHERS?
@ndspeedster Oh yes. We just don't know who they are. 😂
Shields & Yarnell were mimes and had their own variety show in the ‘70s.
@@JPMJPM i stand corrected!
