It’s truly Amazing how Jack Webb kept his composure throughout this sketch. Very funny.

Except right at the very end😁

This is my very favorite skit that was ever done and Jack Webb delivered perfectly. This is REAL COMEDY!!

Loved the story about Cagney and was pleasantly surprised that Jack Webb actually smiled at the end of the sketch!

Loved how Jack Webb stayed totally in character, right to the slight smile at the end!

Carson almost lost it a couple of times near the end! Sure do miss Johnny! He was the best.

First time ever seeing Jack Webb smile!

Watch some Dragnet episodes sometime. Trust me, Jack Webb smiles in those too. Like the episode "The Big Boys", for instance. 😊

Special effects can do anything!

I remember as a kid, every Sunday night my father, two brothers and I would listen to Dragnet on the radio. Johnny's copper clapper capper is one of my favorites.

Loved Jack and Johnny. Two greats. They were spot on in that skit.

It never gets old!

They missed something at the end. Webb: Sounds like an 802. Carson: What's that? Webb: Klutzy comedy. (Got Jack to smile at least)

May the both RIP & are Sadly missed by all of their Fans etc, An Era , Long gone, But not forgotten etc.

Classic "Talent" of two great "Star's" in their own right ! I miss those men and those days of civility, intelligence, and respect for each other and their acting and show business careers. One is to note their own personal reputations for refining their achievements in their talents and the quality of their professional creativeness !

The Late Jack Webb Had a Great Voice for Narration , He did a lot of the Military Training Videos, That I remember seeing during my Basic Training Days etc, May he RIP & is sadly missed by all of his Fans etc.

And no innuendos or insults. Except to poor klepto Claude Coppe who comped the clean copper clappers kept in a closet discovered missing by Clara Clifford. I'd clobber him, too.

Carson stated Jack Webb loved Jazz, this led to his first marriage to Julie London, a Jazz singer and the mother of Webb's two daughters. Julie London was in one of Webb's production as Dixie McCall on Emergency.

Webb also starred in a radio show "Pete Kelly's Blues" as a musician who got involved with some shady stuff. They did feature some music on occasion... if memory serves.

Comic writing & delivery at its best. What a great sport Mr. Webb was to do this Dragnet parody, I love this! When Robert Deniro was the guest on Inside the Actor's Studio, host James Lipton asked Deniro if he would recite the classic line from Taxi Driver "Are you talkin' to me?" for the student actors, writers and directors and Deniro flatly refused. What a wet sock.

Maybe he’s just one of those actors what has to get in the zone to do a line. Or maybe he just got tired of people asking him to do it.

Some actors simply won't do "in character" recitations. Jean Stapleton for example never did Edith's voice once she left the show despite being asked thousands of times.

Absolutely priceless! Thanks to some smart soul that saved these tapes. Great post.

They cut the clip short. As I remember it, Jack Webb started to break character at the end and was laughing as he said “Clutzy Comedy”.

When the tonight show was funny and entertaining.

I have seen this many times, but I always love seeing it. So MANY Great stars have passed away. I am not of course putting down modern actors and actresses, but the past just had so many GREATS.

The "Copper Clapper Caper" might rank up with with Abbott & Costello's Who's on first.

That's priceless.

We miss you Johnny 💔.

They don't do it like that anymore. Sooo funny!!!

Brilliant.

Classic Johnny Carson. That was great tv.

Classic. Johnny was the best.

Priceless!

Supreme talent will always rise to the top.

Loved both of them & both styles of humor! Miss Johnny's smile.

This is the best. True genius.

Four people had their clean copper clappers clipped during a caper contrived in Cleveland to clean out contrarian cop's casas concentrically.. . In Cucamonga.

Superb !

Love it.

"Clean copper clappers kept in the closet " Classic!

It ALL figures ...... all of it.

It amazes me that everyone thinks this parody sketch is hilariously funny; but don't know why? I'll tell you why! It is all due to a literary device called ALLITERATION !!🎓👌

Was there not a convo with Jack that night? They just did the sketch and that was it? I’ve been looking for that for a long time if it even exists.

No. Jack Webb was not a guest that night. Johnny said they were playing clips from past shows. This sketch does exist, as a complete clip, by itself, on KZread. Sorry, I don't have the link, but you can run a search on KZread for it.

I think Jack Webb had a thing for the ladies. He was married to four extremely beautiful women. Just the facts!

I guess we only hear about the troubled Trump trial trauma from this #woke crowd.

The best ever.

Classic Carson.
