Tonight Show videos have been popping up on me, and I don't mind one bit.

Good stuff. I was born in 72. Figured some of you guys might enjoy this too.






Another classic with Clint Eastwoon and David Letterman

Conway is easily one of the funniest ever. No debating that.

I begged for Dorf on Golf VHS as a kid… and it was worth every penny of that low shipping and handling fee.

I'm sorry, but his comedy was so irritating and dumb.

Didn't ever find him funny in any way at all.

Conway and Corman were 2 of the funniest people, but putting them together just elevated them both

Two takeaways from that Carson video:

I miss those lobster bib ties that we wore in the 70's (see: Barney Miller)

There was a time when hosts weren't shy about their wealth and lifestyle. I think Letterman was the first to try to be the self-deprecating everyman who just happens to have a talk show. I guess we're getting back to Johnny and Merv, with Fallon bringing up his Hollywood interactions. Conan's starting to loosen up about his hanging out with mega-stars.
