The man was absolutely an incredible, phenomenal talent, he could: act, sing, dance, play the piano, do incredible impressions (mimic) famous people. Art Carney could do it all! In some ways, more talented than Jackie Gleason, as rare as that could be. Art could legitimately be a jack-of-all-trades in polished talent. He won the Best Actor Award for his starring role in "Harry and Tonto" (1974), to prove he was among the best there ever was. On The Tonight Show episode, he was 22 days after his 56th birthday. What a loss, I felt after I heard he died on Nov. 9, 2003, five days after his 85th birthday. Hollywood has yet to see his equal.

They were high school sweethearts and they got married the first time, in 1940 and divorced in 1965 if I remember right - due to an "outside" relationship with his production assistant, Barbara ??? who he married a year later in 66 - divorced in 1977, he was also a self admitted alcoholic (as well as "uppers", etc)... then remarried to Jean, his first wife in 1980 until he passed away in 93... she passed on around the end of Oct. 2012... I've forgotten the date exactly, but I do remember that she was 93... same age as my mother, almost to the day, but a year older than my mother. I'm sure you noticed the "limp" he had..??.... it was due to his right leg being 3/4" shorter than his left leg... as a result of bad shrapnel wounds he received during the Battle of Normandy (Bloodiest battle of the war) during WW2, and for which he received the Purple Heart (me to).. he was with the 28th Infantry Div. as a machine gunner and machine gun crewman (.50 cal.).

Also, many learned different facets of the entertainment business behind the scenes (producers, directors, writers, ect). Who can really do that today?!

I didn't know Art Carney could play the piano. He plays beautifully. Thank you Mr. Carney.

Yes exactly, Fraidy Cat, who knew? PS I like your name "Fraidy Cat" I have 6 feral Cats. All have been fixed and returned to me. Then it took two years for them to finally trust me enough to come close enough to let me pet them. Love Cats and they I think, love me too. ✌

Gleason was brutally honest & he praised Carney by the wagon-ful. My grandparents (Carson's generation) loved watching Johnny. I am the same generation as Kimmel/Fallon, etc, and I can't stomach their stuff.

Kimmel, Colbert, Fallon are mere pygmies compared to Gleason or Carney alone, much less as the Dynamic Duo they were!

@@freeguy77 Even referring to them as pygmies is giving them far too much respect!!! hahaha

One of the best appearances on Johnny. Reminds me so much of my parents and hid generation, full of laughter, taking nothing seriously, and then gentle pathos. Class. So human. Transcending the BS . Gotta get to that again

Art was far funnier, a better actor, a better almost-everything in show-biz than Dom. And I first liked Dom in his debut in the Doris Day film, "The Glass Bottom Boat" (1966).

Burt Reynolds laugh always gets you going too!!

This guy is a gas. ❤❤❤❤❤You Art Carney. We miss your talent.

Love Art Carney ... 🙏👍🙏

Pure GOLD! Ever second of that was magic!!! 💛

and kids that is what you call TALENT !!

Johnny Carson was the very best talk show host of all time! The guests he could get on his show. Many we knew, but we got to see a different side of them. Then lesser known people, who also turned out to be so interesting to us ALL. i remember that elderly farmer, I think he was in his late 90s. He was a riot! So many great guests were on his show. The talk shows these days 2020s just don't feel anything like the talk shows of the past. My opinion of talk shows other than Carson number 1 are just random. 1. Johnny Carson. 2. Tom Snyder 3. Dick Cavett 4. Mike Douglas 5. David Letterman.. who am I missing? This is just MY lists. There are others. For me the 90s it came to an end. Letterman retired in 2015. But he started in the 80s. So many good ones. Jay Leno was great as well.

Loved you guys God bless

What a joy Peace ✌️ 2024

Dom and Burt cracking up is priceless
