So many options, Much as I always loved ANY time Johnny interacted with animals, my husband and I have used the “go to the Slausen cut-off ” line too many times not to pick it.
Loved the moments with animals. They were so funny
Hard to choose
the final episode had me choked up.
This was a loooong time ago-the wedding of Tiny Tim and Miss Vickie.
My favorite moment is when they introduced him “Here’s Johnny”.
I would say anytime Robin Williams or Jonathan Winters were on. They had great chemistry.
One of my favorite moments on was when Joan Embery from the San Diego Zoo brought on 5 month old twin baby orangutans!
My favorite moment is when Bette Midler sang the last song to him. Thanks for the giveaway!
Favorite moment was when Jimmy Buffett was on stage in 1990. He had hair back then.
I loved it when Carol Burnett was on. She is so hilarious!
Steve Martin was my favorite guest,
My favorite moment is where Shelley Winters got back at Oliver Reed by splashing with water. He was very rude to her so he got what he deserved. He was an incredible actor, but he seemed like a real jerk as well.
All the moments when Johnny had the animals on. I loved when my parents let me stay up late and watch The Tonight Show. Hereeeeeee’s Johnny!
When he did the skit where he was Carnac the Magnificent.
Carmac the Great!
When he did the skit where he was Carnac the Magnificent.
There are many! I loved when he had animals on.
James Stewart’s poem to his dog
Any opening monologue, which my Mom would have as her end of the day treat.
Carnac
I always loved the monogue and staying up late to watch him when I was a kid.
I love the take off of Gone With the Wind when Carol wore drapery.
Laurie Emerson
Oh the last show was just so emotional! A personal favorite.
I miss the introduction at the beginning of the show. I also loved the Carnac the Great skit!
Jonathon Winters interview.
I always remember the old lady who was a potato chip collector and Johnny eats a chip scaring her when she thinks he has eaten a chip from her collection, The look on her face is priceless.
I loved all of the animal moments
