He drilled holes on one side to hold his pipes and hung floss swords from the lamp switch. Had a bottle of Mentholatum and another of Tums. Mom just let him have his spot. And NOBODY was allowed to take any of his shit or sit there. (No problem since he sat in his underwear!) Grandkids were always trying to steal his fruit flavored Tums because they tasted like SweetTarts ! Sure miss him.

I loved how Johnny had his guests on and let them be the center of attention. Today its too much about the hosts being the center. Those were great late night shows !

Carson knew that helping his guests look good made the show good. He was as sharp as anyone but didn't have to get all the laughs himself. Jack Benny had the same smarts. He let the cast get the laughs at his expense knowing that the quality of the show was what kept it at the top of the ratings.

Infinitely more entertaining than anything on late night currently.

Interesting how Dean played the drunk so well, of course the people around him played along. After his death many of his fellow performers open up to the truth he drank very little. Dean often used apple juice as it had the look of a strong drink. One of the give a ways, the same jokes such as when he looked around and said "how all these people get into your room" were part of his well rehearsed routines. Jerry seinfeld told a story about when he was just getting started in the business, and had to follow dean as a guess. Before going on the two talked a bit back stage and Dean was stone sober, Jerry was amazed how easily he sled into the tipsy guest while in the interview.

Watching these KZread and nostalgic channels now, that show reruns of the shows, what really stands out with Carson, was his innate ability to 'lightly' poke fun at whomever was the president, which is the way it should be. But now? It's really kind of sad what passes as late night talk. I don't watch the shows of course, as my generation as long gone out of the limelight, but the articles I'll see online, that comment on the vitriol that these late night hosts now exhibit on a nightly basis.

What a classic segment that can be treasured forever.

Watched another video on Dean Martin today, and my impression of him in that is borne out here--aside from being a great singer and a spot-on actor, he had a laid-back persona that brings out so much humor! Won't be another like him in my lifetime, I'm sure.

Johnny was and still is the king of late night. No one comes close, and to see Dino and Mr. Hope on the same show...... how cool, classic.

It will never be that way again and that is why it is so special to those of us who remember it like it was yesterday. These men were role models who shaped our lives in small, large and ways we are not even aware of. Despite all the troubles of the time, we could always relax and get a much needed reality check by watching Carson at the end of the day. We knew it wouldn't last forever and now 40 years later we wake up with the realization that "forever" is here. The younger generation today does not know what they have missed and you can't tell them. That is their loss and that is the tragedy of being reminded of what "we", the old Frankie/Annette generation have lost over the years. Thanks guys for making it special.

Roll models?? Hardly and not by a long shot! It is well known that Dean and Johnny were womanizers and hard drinkers, especially Dean. And Dean was already smoking pot while he and Jerry Lewis were still together. These guys may have been funny but absolutely were not role models. Sometime read Dean and Me by Jerry Lewis. You'll learn a lot.

MaryMac I'm not the one who needs to "learn a lot, toots"! It was well known that Dean's act of being a drinker and carouser was just that, an "act". Every public figure of every time in history has their own bumps and barnacles, the fact remains that they largely kept it to themselves and which was only made public after some tell all publication years and years later. People had the courtesy and ethical moorings not to trot it out for sensationalist purposes like they do today which serves no purpose other than the almighty dollar. I "read a book once"...my gawd, what a weak statement! Rock Hudson's homosexuality was an open secret in Hollywood but was generally unknown outside the trade (same with Paul Lynde and both Darin's from Bewitched). George Reeve's dalliance with a mob bosses wife wasnt known until 30 years after his death. Problem is, you've been sold a bill of goods that no one, regardless of argument, will ever change your mind or enlighten you. Like I said, I was there, I was lucky and fortunate enough to know some of these people personally and can only tell you not to believe everything you read unless you get the information from a variety of sources including the primary. Besides, they were MY role models, and although they obviously weren't yours, I find your disrespect of me and what "I think and believe" as cowardly and tasteless befitting the troll you probably are. Get a life and stop butchering things of which you have no idea of what your speaking about. Grow up!

I love the " How have you been, Joey." What many people may not remember is that Joey Bishop also had an ABC late-night talk show opposite Carson for several years. Knowing that makes Dean's opening line funnier.

thejimdoherty I thought he was referring to the fact that Joey Bishop often substituted for Johnny when Johnny had time off from the show. This was often joked about by other guests as well, and even by Joey himself. When Johnny had his 10th anniversary show, Joey came on and said; “This is not really your 10th, it’s your 6th and my 4th!!”

Dean Martin wasn't drunk; that was part of his act. One reason TV seemed special back then was because there was very little of it. We were out playing or doing chores most of the time. TV was new and growing, so it still had an element of magic to it

The 70's , what a time!

Now that was entertainment! Absolutely brilliant! Never to be repeated or copied ever!

Fun fact, while Dean did love to drink, mostly it was an act. He used to sip on Apple Juice all while telling people it was whisky. It was part of his act to be the Drunk Guy all the time.

At this point, Dean was 58-year-old n semi-retired. This episode is legendary because he has bob hope there. They work well with each other. Johnny, being around dean over 15yrs at this point, understood his humor n does great with dean as well. So, dean is in his comfort zone right here. He's just chilling but being candid while being funny. He is worth over 20 million here with a place in the hills n single. All he does at this point is play golf n host the roast 3-4x a year. Bob is the real BIG $$$! Here, he's worth around 200 million (over 1billion today). Oil profits with Bing Crosby fueled the EPIC rise in net worth. Bob Hope was the greatest entertainer of the 20th century; performing for 70 years! He is an American Institute. Bob Leslie townes hope was a founding pioneer of comedy. Johnny Carson is the greatest late night talk show host EVER!!! His format was genius.

Bob Hope, at some point, was the second largest property owner in the State of California, and reportedly worth somewhere around $800 million. Several sources have said he was never married to the woman who he represented as his "wife" Dean's reference to seeing Angie Dickinson backstage almost caused Johnny Carson to swallow his upper lip, because he was having an "affair" with her at the time.

I wonder if Carson would be able to replicate what he did back then given today's crop of celebrities?

Bob Hope was a no talent POS. A malignant mole on the face of American showbusiness of that time. The guy who would show up on opening of a gas station, as long as cameras are there

Let's be hypothetical - This interview with Dean Martin takes place in 2020. Here's what follows- 1. Twitter, trending #deanmartindrunk 2. Next morning on Today Show, GMA, clips shown of Martin's interview from night before- "Was Martin intoxicated? Coming up we'll speak with the head of nearby rehab clinic Mr. John Smith and how this effects the public." 3. On Twitter - "Martin's publicist says They have no comment currently." 4. Update on Twitter - "Dean Martin faces backlash from religious groups, parents." 5. New Twitter update - "Dr. Phil will have guest Jane Doe on today's show. She is a grieving mother who lost her son to car accident by a drunk driver, feels Dean Martin's antics on The Tonight Show last night is something we should take action to." 6. BREAKING NEWS - Dean Martin to hold press conference tonight, issuing public apology! 7. Comments from Facebook, twitter and social media blowing up prior to press conference. John and Jane Doe have thoughtful post on Facebook - "As one nation, we should unite, and come together to stop drinking alcohol." - Another post from Jerry and Jan Doe - "Dean Martin should be ashamed of himself, he's the new face of evil." 8. UPDATE - Dean Martin in press conference issues his public apology, saying he's "hurt and saddened by the people he offended last night." 9. Dean Martin is checking into rehab, all future shows postponed until further notice. 10. With Dean Martin in rehab, the public must find something else to destroy through social media.
