Happy New Year! watching this on KZread and on my phone is certainly wonderful.

This is a wonderful New Years gift. I grew up watching The Tonight Show in the 70s in Canada's far north in the Yukon. The cable system was weird there in Whitehorse, Yukon and comprised of what was seen 1 week earlier in Vancouver and Seattle shown on tape exactly 1 week later. This was before the days of satellite. As a kid, I used to get up out of bed around 11:35pm and sneak out to the TV and turn it on to watch (once the tube TV warmed up). Years later as an adult, I spent a week lining up for free tickets at the NBC studios in Burbank to see the show taped at 5:30pm and then going back to my hotel room to watch it at 11:30. It was the highlight of each night. I'm glad I grew up with this and remember it like it was yesterday. It's not like today's 500 channel TV universe. Everyone who was awake at night watched Johnny back in those days. Thanks for the memories....you older folks will remember.

🎉Happy New Year 2024🎊🙃

Happy New Year Everyone !!! 🎉🎈🎈🎈🎊🥳🎆

I was 6 months old when this aired. Carson was the 🐐

Watching Johnny is sooooo refreshing after all of the other late nite crap that's on now. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Schön dass Johnny Carson die harte Arbeit von Tina Turner anerkannt hat. Beide waren großartig. Tina hatte so viel Energie.

I was camping out on Orange Blvd on this night in 1982 for the Rose Parade…my first New Year’s in LA! It was freaking freezing!!!

Where's Johnny this is when we had a country I don't know what we call it now so pray for us and have a good year

Hard to believe Johnny’s been gone almost 19 years 😢😢

That was enjoyable... Thanks! Never saw that episode before. 😃

Here in his final New Year's Eve goodbye to 1982, Johnny thanked Ed for 25 years together. If they were working together in 1957, it wouldn't be on the Tonight Show, that was Jack Paar's gig; his first season.

More than 1/2 of America would have to look up what he jokes about to get it.

I’m surprised these are in mono, wasn’t the tonight show broadcast in stereo starting 1981 ?

Fantastic show! Tina Turner tore up that stage! 👩🏾‍🎤

The routine about going over to the model of Times Square was partly down to viewers knowing in previous years when they did this, Johnny's New Year's Eve show wasn't live, and when they did "go over" to Times Square it was never live. This was a nice way of being truthful on this bit of the show I believe.

Those were the days. Bill Maher killed it!

31:43 They should have kept the mike off. 🐵

Bill Mahar - "I kid because I love!" remember when that was a catchphrase? I think Richard Belzer used it a lot.

I was 22, and oh boy and girls ❤

Thanks for posting. Ronald Regan was actually still alive that year. It's interesting to see what actually happened in 2002. No more Donahue show by then. Liberace was dead.

1977 here and keep it going!

I bet anything that Tina Turner was out of there into a waiting limousine to a private airport and off to Vegas for a midnight show.
