Johnny Carson is the only late-night show host I’ve ever watched with consistency. I worked a mid shift, and I would arrive home from work just in time for The Tonight Show. It was the perfect way to unwind. I miss him still. In all these years since he’s been gone, if you added the number of times I’ve watched the current late-night shows, it would not add up to thirty days! I’ve never watched ANY of their shows from start to finish. Johnny was the best. Ed McMann was perfect too.

Mild swears like Hell and Damn were starting to be allowed on broadcast TV by the 1970s. Harder swears were sometimes heared on broadcast TV but bleeped out as was the case here, especially on talk shows. Scripted shows never used them, even if bleeped, accept maybe as a plot point on rare occasions and then always bleeped.

You could use ass as shorthand for a jackass (donkey) as in "Don't be an ass!". Four letter swears and religious swears like "God damn;" or "Jesus Christ!" Were not allowed.
