What a comedic mind to be able to come up with this hilarious bit. Never saw Carson laugh so hard.

The way Carson mimics the act with his emotion is fantastic, what a host

Great to see the whole segment. They used to show part of it on the anniversary shows.

I am 71 so I got to watch this bit live. Its coming out finally that Albert just thought thiis stuff up at home or at pàrties and then took it to The Tonight Show. Johnny did not want to know iin advance and you can see why.

There are interviews where Albert talks about his Carson appearances. You should hear him talk about it. He worked very hard to make them special. Unfortunately, most of his early appearances are lost.

And I am old enough (in my 70's) to have seen many of those lost performances. One that quickly comes to my mind is a bit where, like the jugglers on Ed Sullivan who had 10 plates and 10 poles and their trick was that they would, by the end of their act, get all 10 plates spinning on the tops of their individual poles. As he worked his way up to all ten, he would have to monitor the ones already spinning and sometimes have to quickly run back and forth, adding more speed to the previous plates to keep them spinning as he started on others. ANYWAY, Brooks comes out and does the same thing, except with 10 different people standing in a line and he announces that he is going to get all 10 people laughing AT THE SAME TIME. And, just like the well-known juggler that everyone had already seen, he starts with the first person - dropping his pants - and that person starts to laugh; the next in line and he slips on a banana peel and so on. As he reaches the 4th or 5th person, the first people begin to stop laughing, so he has to run back and "invent" new gags to keep the laughter going as he adds new people further down the line. And the icing on the cake was that he did it all to the familiar "Plate Spinning Tune" of the Sabre Dance. Oh, if I could only see that again!

I tried reversing it to see what got censored. Indeed the censored dialogue was played backwards... but it wasn't the same words. It just repeats "see a horse in a parade" and "parade do a". So unfortunately the dialogue is gone.

Brilliant! I loved Brooks

Albert has made his dad proud just be doing what Harry loved to do....making people smile....the Einstein blood is in his veins although he had to change his name.

Omgod Curly and the potato!😂😂😂😂

Hilarious,, so funny!! I haven't seen this in years.

Brroks and Carson. Genius.

Look for Marc Maron's podcast with him, it's a great hour of Albert being himself.

It is a shame that Albert's dad died when he still young and didn't get to see his son follow in his footsteps.

And their father was a comedian known as "Parkyakarkus" who literally dropped dead after doing a monologue at a Friar's Club Roast dinner.

It seems like they censored the word "acid", when he starts talking about the carpet.

If there is any irony here, maybe it's that he was named Albert Einstein in the first place. I mean, he was born shortly after the end of WWII.
