I'm watching this now on the PBS site and it's bringing back such great memories. I just now had to pause to laugh, though--just as funny as it ever was!
"You were dangling a participle..."
Without missing a beat, "I'll wear a long coat and no one will notice!"
ETA: had to pause it again for the hatchet thrower. Johnny's expressions were priceless, then, "I didn't even know you were Jewish!"

I stayed up until two watching the replay. I had the DVR recording but didn't want to stop watching it.
The way he got pissed and just quit on them made me mad. Not at him but at his bosses. TV executives must be very much like the way movies portray them (as A-holes). I guess most new "suits" in any job situation are wanting to make changes or stir things up just to give the appearance of working. I would have loved a few more years of him.
His divorce was so freaking public. The coverage of that was like O.J. and Michael Jackson sans the people standing in the streets. Now anyone in the public eye gets that treatment but it was pretty outrageous for back then. Him making jokes about endeared him to many.
He really did make so many of today's comedy stars. They know it and readily acknowledged it. I remembered that night that Drew Carey was on there. I was laughing my arse off just like Johnny.
I wanted Letterman to replace him. I related to his silliness and spontaneity more than Leno's joke telling. I really never gave Leno a chance. Never watched his show at all.
Haven't watched any of those shows in the probably the last 15 years. Too many other things to watch with cable in every room.
