Back in the days when your presidents could read write and speak english. And everybody thought that was normal

Damn. Everyone you see here is gone. We first lost Buddy, then it was Johnny, then it was Ed, then Don, now Burt. It’s a shame that they’re all gone.

After Johnny left, I never watched The Tonight Show ever again.

This is something else. Never watched a talk show like this. I've always heard of Carson but never watched any of his show. I'm astonished.

Don Rickles was a hoot. He was hilarious on those Dean Martin Roasts, which I always watched when new. It makes me feel old now to hear Johnny say he is 48, while I am 60, but when Johnny and Don were 48, when this episode was new, I was age 12, and started 7th grade. This show is an American icon.

Can you believe this was 45 years ago??? insane. This was like another era totally

When I’d spent the night with my grandparents, they’d let me stay up late with them and watch Johnny Carson. I loved hearing them laugh. Wonderful memories.

J. Carson was (for me that is) one of the most gentle, sweet and tender show presenter of tv shows of all times. To bad there ain't much more like him these days.

I have always loved Burt Reynolds' laugh.

Burt's laughing already and all Don has done is walk on stage. That's a talent.

Those were the days! Hopefully, real class, talent, and hard work will come back in style

Rickles just absolutely loved Carson. As funny as he is the one thing that always stands way out about Rickles is that he never misses or ducks any opportunity to tell you how grateful he is to you for giving him an opportunity or being good to him. The height of class. Should be something that we all do but don't do enough.

I was age 12 when this ep was made. Burt laughed funny. I have seen this ep many a time. Rickles was hilarious.Classic show.

The joke related by Buddy about one of Rickles shows is definitely the one that takes the cake. Even my dentures couldn't stop rattling from my guffaws.

Roughly two months before I was born...wow. Does it get any better than Rickles and Carson together? Classic stuff.

Funniest thing I ever saw on Johnny Carson was the night that Little Richard got the best of Don Rickles......Rickles was looking for the door but knew he wouldn't get paid if he left. He couldn't land a joke on Little Richard and I swear Rickles was about to go into tears when Little Richard sat in his lap. Been looking for that classic Johnny Carson for a long time.

Damn this was long time ago! My parents were infants! Such class and intelligence. I do sense that the quality and pace of TV nowadays has deteriorated.

Burt Reynold's face cracks the funniest lines, especially when he doesn't say anything.

The tonite show lifted me out of my depression not the SSRI's. Thank you Johnny Carson and the rest of the ensemble.

What a lineup on that stage. Comedy gold. Burt Reynolds’ laugh kills me every time.

Johnny was so great. Thought he and the show would go on forever. Funny to see him sneak a cigarette on TV. They finally got him.

Classic...most comedians these days can't even compare to their humor and class.

Thx for including Carol Wayne! She was exactly a very intelligent woman. Great at playing the ditz.

I wish I was old enough to have seen Rickles perform live. For my money, he and George Carlin and 1 and 1A for funniest people who ever lived!

RIP Don and Johnny. Legends. And when Rickles says he's being very honest and sincere he really is he was a genuinely nice man and love everyone he just liked to make fun of everyone and everything because life is ridiculous

At 48 yrs old, was blessed to watch Johnny Carson late night show. I was blessed to see Don. Wow can't believe they are no longer with us. Friendship was so important to them. May God bless them both.

Man, what I would give to be able to experience these three guys live. I wish I had the privilege to be alive when Johnny was ruling late night. It’s a treat to watch.

These two gentlemen worked so well together it was awesome listening to them especially on how they made each other laugh i loved it

I was three when this was taped. I LOVED Don Rickles when I was a kid. Thanks for the laugh Sharky!

Good god, the star power on that little stage.

Johnny in the 1970’s was untouchable

It's amazing to think the power Carson had over careers. This wasn't the first interview I've seen him thanked personally by guests for helping launch their careers all for just giving them a chance. No late night talk show host wields that power anymore. To think of that prestige and honour it must have been for anyone to have Johnny give them an opportunity.

Amazing how good Carson was...

THANK YOU Archy Moz for this~ Sometimes (not very often but occasionally) I wonder "Is it me" when I feel out of touch with what is being passed off as such great entertainment in 2018. I stayed up late as a teen in the '70's to watch Johnny Carson. It probably contributed to my dropping out of high school. I often stayed up after and saw The Late Show on one of the only other 5 channels on before cable TV. I wouldn't change a thing. I THANK GOD this was a part of my youth.

Amazing Don Rickles. Very classy guy. Loves when he thanks Johnny.
