Johnny is so classy, and he gives this kid as much respect as he does for grownups and celebrities.

I know Chuck is seen as the icon he is in pop culture, but it’s really cute and fun to see him with his student like this. You just don’t get genuine TV like this anymore.

No matter who Mr Carson had on, he made them look intelligent and made the show classy and entertaining.

Watching these old re-runs of Johnny and the Tonight Show I realize how far we have in many ways digressed as a society. Hopefully we can change and mature and realize we are all one community. It's never perfect but we can at least strive for it.

They took the time to speak with him at length, do a nice demo and get some laughs. Excellent. My son started lessons at 4 years of age with about 30 kids. Four years later, he earned his jr black belt along with only one other kid who had started at the same time. Nothing better than teaching children when young that their success is predicated upon their efforts.

The kid is Chuck's mini me😂

Fun fact: Philip Paley is the kid who played Cha-ka on Land of the Lost tv series.

Yup!

This boy is amazing. Chuck Norris has always been one of the best celebrities in history

I'm a 3rd Degree Black belt and I taught for 14 years to kids of all ages. I just loved it. To watch the kids' discipline, grow and confidence was very rewarding. I also taught adults. But the kids were a lot of fun. Some adults were afraid to fight back, but when I told them when and if they got assaulted, they may be raped or worse, and that it would affect them and their relationships the rest of their lives then they saw how important it was to fight back and defend themselves.

It was something to see Chuck so young and not in an acting role. I was about the same age as that kid. Wish I had taken karate back then lol.

You heard of “The Day the Music Died”. Well, when Carson passed away, it was the day late night talk shows died. He was the best!

To be trained by Chuck Norris at that age is so cool.

Johnny and Chuck. Two American icons.

Wonderful show. ❤ Martial Arts Training is an excellent discipline for our children.

For “Land of the Lost” fans, Paley played Chaka on the show and was discovered as a result of his Carson appearance.

Love Chuck Norris! Met him one time. Nice person

Laughed so hard, cried when the kid took down Johnny

Chuck Norris had done Return of the Dragon with Bruce Lee before this show, but at the time of this appearance on The Tonight Show he could not have known the film and TV careers he was headed for. Having 4 years of martial arts training myself, I recognize the techniques that Phillip used on Johnny. Particularly with the first technique, using Johnny's chin and hair against him, our Sensei always said "take the head, and the body will follow." And as chuck said, the confidence and other personal attributes I gained in martial arts training are something I use and benefit from every day. Fortunately, I've never had to defend myself. I credit that by not being in stupid places at stupid times.

If Bruce Lee had lived . He would NOT have allowed RETURN OF THE DRAGON to be shown in the U.S. Lee said it was "too far out for the Americans." He said, "Enter the Dragon " was for the American film market. Unfortunately, Lee died before the film hit movie theaters in 1973. He never got to see his impact in the states.

The best show ever and the best guest too.

My son is a black belt in taekwondo. His master instructor was at a conference with other owners of martial arts schools several years back and, long story short, someone was able to arrange for Chuck Norris to come spend some time with them. As he described it, the moment "Master Norris" walked into the room, every serious and dignified martial arts school owner in the room disappeared and was replaced by a collection of 12-year-old fanboys.

FANTASTIC!!

Chuck Norris was adorable as well.

What a good boy he is, I pray he had a good life.

This is amazing in comparison to today television. Respect, eloquence, culture and education, all in entertainment program. No one saiz"you know" and "bro" or anything empty. Thank you for the video.

Bruce Lee was supposed to be the main guest on the Tonight Show in August 10 1973 he was set to promote Enter The Dragon and to be interviewed for the first time on national TV in USA by Johnny, unfortunately he passed away exactly 15 days after this show on Friday July 20 1973. It would have been so cool and amazing to see Bruce and perhaps Robert Wall talking martial arts philosophies and reminiscent their training and preparation for Enter The Dragon 🐉

LOL that was good and look at how young Chuck Norris looked

LOL! CLASSIC! WOW, I never saw this before! Seeing the legend Chuck Norris as an instructor NOT as an actor is great! At this point in his career he just filmed Way Of The Dragon with the ICON Bruce Lee and in just a couple of years was well on his way to superstardom! Here's hoping that young man went on to do great things!

Thank you amazing people who Run Johnny's KZread page for posting this after i Emailed and asked them for it :) As a Land of the Lost fan, i had been searching for this clip for years.

Chuck Norris doesn't do push ups, he's actually pushing the EARTH away from him. Cats have Chuch like reflexes.😅😅😅😂😂😂😂

I think this is before Chuck became the icon he would become.

Johnny Carson was a remarkable artist❤

The guy behind having the time of his life

That would be awesome to have Chuck Norris as an instructor.

Such class and respect, something rarely seen today. I love how Chuck Norris doesn't display a macho attitude, but is relaxed, friendly and humorous.

That Chuck Norris seems like a great instructor. I hope he kept at it and made something of himself.

What a cutie

Adorable! 😊

A great interview, and a wonderfully funny bit to end the segment. However, it should not go unnoticed that this episode was literally within inches of never seeing the light of day.

Ive alwjas liked chuck norris manner of speech. Always calm, fluid and simple

Love Johnny and he always made the show so fun to watch, great personality. I wonder where that young boy is today? God bless

I wonder what the kid is doing now. Johnny is the interviewer every because of his natural demeanor. Who have this gift anymore

Remember watching this when it came out

I love this episode!

A martial arts blast from the past!!!😀😀😀

This is only one small clip but it’s just _everything._ Sorry that it’s been so long, NOW i remember why i BEGGED BEGGED my mom to let me stay up for Johnny every school night! In less than 15 minutes Mr Carson (& Ed!) were FUNNIER SMARTER CLASSIER WITTIER MORE ADORABLE ETC than _ALL_ of the late night hosts that have followed. PERIOD. i am right - don’t even try to argue. 🤟🏻 lol my cheeks hurt from smiling so hard! 😬💕

For those who think Chuck passed away, he did not. Two reasons: 1. He turned 83 this past March, 2. HE’S FUCKING CHUCK NORRIS!!!!

It's amazing how much the late-night talk shows have regressed in the last 2 decades. Carson knew his job was to be a conduit for his guests. He became famous because he did that so well. These new idiots think we want their opinions when we are really tuning in for the guests.

Love seeing the Lone Wolf so young!!

11:40 when he took Johnny down was fucking hilarious and then he keeps beating him up.

He moves like Master Yoda

Chaka!

Philip Paley went on to portray 'CHAKKA' on the show Land of the Lost.

Fantastic!

I heard he was never invited on the Johnny Carson show, but Chuck Norris showed up anyway!😂

what was great about the tonight show back then was, johnny knew how to host. he didnt kiss ass trying to be everyones friend. he talked to everyone like they were people, regardless of who they were. he was such a classy guy. funny, charming, considerate. nothing like that today. he is truly missed.
