Watch this one video. Marvel at the difference between this and today. Richard burnt himself up one year prior to this whilst on drugs. Watch Johnny, George, and Richard get along. I miss that. Each one of them....we do not have a replacement for any of them. We all used to get along. For you millennials #beforeyourtimebeotch



What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

Definitely funny stuff. I just watched that last week while going through Don Rickles videos.


Because son, it is what you are supposed to do.

I am not sure you can lump Carson in with the other two and have it be classy. He was a class act.

They were all alcohol and drug dependent. Decidedly chaotic family lives, but not as dramatic as Lenny Bruce. They were all talented no doubt.

I guess maybe I am the odd man out on Carlin. Ok, he had some funny stuff but he was also a sanctimonious, hypocritical douchebag.




Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day

Interesting comments and post.
For me the most relevant thing—-at least in regard to Carson—-is that it was an act.
These folks didn’t let down their hair on TV, they played a role and we all loved it.

Agreed, Never really liked Pryor or even remotely thought that he was the God some make him out to be.
Carlin, interesting at times but otherwise a douche as mentioned above.
Carson, was in a class at the top.
