That was a great routine…I laughed all the way through & laughed harder & harder as the routine continued. Can’t believe Johnny didn’t ask him over. He was FANTASTIC! Johnny “Here’s your sign”!

When Bill was starting out he toured local comedy shops and came into our town a couple of times. He was hilarious then and still is today. I remember at one of the those early shows we attended, and did his "Here's Your Sign" routine, he sold "I'm Stupid" signs to people after the show for $1 each. At the time I thought it was genius. He is doing his bit about being stupid and people actually paid a buck to buy a sign that said, "I'm Stupid." Those were exactly the people who should have been wearing that sign 😆

I've been watching Bill Engvall for years, since the Blue Collar Comedy Tour first came out, and this is the first time I've heard him talk about handing out stupid signs. Up until now I've heard his "Here's your sign" jokes as "You're overlooking some obvious signs to this situation, mister, so here's your sign" as in "Let me point that out to you".. Talking about handing out actual stupid signs makes so much more sense, so I guess there's my sign..

Happy Retirement, Bill! Thanks for the laughs! :)

I didn’t know you were on Carson!! You rocked it !!

I’ve been a fan of Bill Engvall for many years. I bought his standup comedy DVDs and those ‘Blue Collar Comedy Tour’ DVDs. When my husband and I went to Maryland for our youngest son’s wedding, we rented a nice cottage - - I had brought all those DVDs and they were a big hit with the relatives (who stayed with us at that cottage). It was very nice to see his first appearance, on the ‘Johnny Carson Show’ (I worked many PM and night shifts at our local hospital, and didn’t get to watch the ‘Johnny Carson Show’).

It is great to see Bill Engvall on the Tonight show with Johnny. Bill is still at it, very funny guy, I love his humor. Great upload....

When "here's your sign" played on my stereo cassette player I had to crawl to from my sofa to it to turn it off; I was laughing so hard. Breathe ☺️😅

Funny back then too. ❤️🙏

omg, how fun is this, that just popped up on my screen?! i love this. saw him and the gang live once, years ago. but this joke that he starts out with, turned into a song called “here’s your sign”. look it up, its too funny. hubby even sang it at karaoke a couple times. those lines were in the song. lol

Bill you always do comedy proud!

Just love him

I’ve been watching him for years! I think he is adorable and hilarious I love funny handsome men! The best part about seeing this, I have always heard “here is your sign”! ! Now I know what the sign says “I’m stupid”! 😂

OMG, I just literally put a comment on another older video of Bill's, and I said it would be cool to see some of his early stand-up, and this just popped up. I'm almost too excited to watch it now!!

When he mentioned asking for directions made me think of when I was driving through Georgia years ago. I had got off the main road to just mingle around and got lost. I asked a guy out by a fence how to get back to the main road. It went something like this. "Well lady, ya take yourself on down yonder to the big red barn, well, it used to be red, looks kinda pink now. Turn left and keep yourself going till you come to Pete's pig farm, might not see 'em, but you'll smell 'em. Now, about three skips and you'll see 'old Bessies place, she has those pecan trees we go to every year. Turn left again at the Jenkins farm, his 'ole rusty tractor will be sitting out front, been there since Moby Dick was a minnow, and keep going....you'll see the main road."Told him thank you and went on. I thought oh goodness I will never find the main road......but by golly there it was.

Thank you! I needed a good laugh today! 😅💕

Bill Engval is the best!

Didn't get the couch invite, but had the audience.

Without a doubt, one of my all time favorite comedians!

The here's your sign routines 5 the dorkfish one keeps me cracked up!😂

One of my favorite all time comics with a great act. Here's Your Sign was part of the Blue Collar Tour with Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, and Larry the Cable Guy. Brilliant. And none of them were self-hating lefties eager to force everyone else do as they say, for safety. Truly American humor. Miss them. Loving this series of uploads, big thanks. Paz.

He made an appearance on Star Search in 1984 and it could have made enough of an impression on Ed (who was hosting at the time) to get him to appear with Johnny...

Glad to see this! I didn't hear about Engvall until about 1995. Same with Foxworthy.
