The Guest Johnny Carson Couldnt Stand
Johnny Carson reigned supreme as the King of Late Night during his 30-year tenure as host of The Tonight Show. While Carson was known for his affable charm and easy rapport with guests, even he had his limits.

It takes 18 minutes to tell you it is Bob Hope.
That was Kallous.
Thank you!
no it was charlie callas. or joan rivers. or bob hope. it should say the GUESTS he couldnt stand cause it focuses on a few
This is the kind of KZhead presentation and clickbait channel hosts with nothing worth saying do in order to attract viewers. In other words, liars. Report them as I did a long time ago.
Thank you. 😂
The only thing money gives you is the freedom of not worrying about money. Johnny Carson
It's a nice freedom
@@OdinsCloud As freedoms go, it's one of the better ones...💰
I agree as money gives you a peace of mind to not worry about it, and not worry about paying for things. It doesn't mean you'll be happy, but it gives you less stress to not worrying about paying for things like I said before. You can use money to create new opportunities for happiness.
That's correct, just ask all his X wives😂😊
@@user-fi2ix7mr6i The ex wife that got 500,000 was pretty mad at the next wife who got 20 million.
'People will pay more to be entertained than educated' Johnny Carson
He’s not wrong.
Yes, sadly Universities are proving that everyday. Entertainment over education.
Rivers was incredible in anything she ever did.
Johnny was so profound, and I am serious.
I have read that Joan Rivers negotiated her own show without consulting Johnny or asking for his advice. She made the deal and then told him after it was finalized. You could tell by his body language that Johnny wasn't a warm & fuzzy guy, but he was absolutely the King of late night comedy and no one has even come close since he left.
He was a mean drunk.
@@johnking7008 According to Joe Namath, no less, who knew a little something about drunks (mean and otherwise).

Save yourself 20 minutes. Go to 20:26. It's Charlie Callas he couldn't stand. 👍 if you wanna save other people 20 minutes.
there's soooooo much repetition throughout this, it's insane!
@@mhrgall It's someone gaming the system, is what it is.
I'm not sure it's even true.
Thankfully I'm old enough to remember watching Johnny. No one like him today.
There will never be another Johnny Carson.

I stopped watching late night talk shows after Johnny left, accept the odd Letterman show.
Im just old enough to remeber Carson. My parents let me stay up late enough to watch his last show. I watched the odd Letterman show here and there as well. The closest in my opinion was Ferguson. I really liked his show. On the surface, there wasn't much to compare. But, as you watched it longer, especially in the later years, it was very Carson- esque.
My father adored Johnny. He watched his show every night.
Mine too.
Same
As did my mom.
Johnny Carson was/is still loved by many.
Mine also
This was supposed to be about the guest Johnny Carson hated the most, not Carson’s life story. Way too much information.
20:25
I agree this sucks
Honesrly it was painful to watch
So glad I came to the comments before I started this video. Is there a place to fast forward to to see anything like what the title click baited us with?
Click bait.
They didn't tell the whole story of the Joan Rivers feud. She called Carson sexist but the reason that Carson was so mad at Rivers was that she took a show on Fox opposite Johnny Carson at the same time trying to take his viewers away. That's not sexism. That's a slap in the face of the guy who gave her her big break. Joan Rivers was an insensitive greedy jerk.
@waltp3373, He was a control freak. You can't own people. Johnny Carson might have been a great late show host, but he was very unforgiving.
Carson was a jerk to many people. So if she is offered her own show what did you expect her to do? She wasn’t signed to Carson. What a ridiculous comment. SMH. That’s show business!!
joan rivers had a show?
This video should've been titled. "Johnny Carson. A Biography"
21 minutes into the vid, he gets to the point.
Americans ... blah, blah, blah me, me, me I'm so important
@@farber2 Thank You, I got sidetracked and forgot what I wanted to watch.
I was trying to figure out who he couldn't stand, so misleading!@@farber2
@@fingerprint5511Oh, but we are. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Johnny Carson was a one of a kind - a comedic genius never to be repeated. RIP Johnny.
A semi comedian....YES, A GENIUS, NEVER! DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE!!!!!
I still say Jay Leno was better. From beginning to end. Johnny's last 10+ years were weak.
George Carlin was the genius…..
@@AnnoyedNoodles-fb8hw He was very funny for decades. He was good at interviewing people, too. My favorites were Letterman and Dick Cavett.
@@AnnoyedNoodles-fb8hwIt’s just an opinion, calm down.
Johnny was way better than what's on today.
So were the guests. The producers. The musicians. Even the audience!!! People had MANNERS back then.
@@boomer1954fulRight. Things has really went downhill in a lot of ways.
An intensely shy person, late-night television host Johnny Carson was at ease on the air, employing a self-deprecating and sharp sense of humor that pleased television audiences for decades
Pleased American audiences for years..... after the performing disaster that was Ed Sullivan, any performing flea would look good. In other English speaking democracies, Carson was a total bore and waste of space.......except like Sullivan before him, he always had interesting guests.
carson was NOT shy...he was insecure...a huge difference
Rassskle, Ed did his part. Carson kept Ed working with him over 40 years. Ed was good at what he did. It couldn't have been easy pleasing Johnny, who was known to be a difficult person off camera. Carson was hurtful and insulting to others, so it has been reported by many.
I had several friends who worked in Vegas - they could not stand him. Said he was rude and never tipped a penny to anyone - not even the wait staff.
@@Rassskle "Carson was a total bore and waste of space."
Johnny should have passed the torch off to Joan Rivers. She guest hosted the majority of the time he wasn't there. For him to pass her by when it was time to retire was also a gut punch for Joan Rivers. There are always two sides to everything. She was fantastic and hilarious, unlike Leno who replaced Johnny. It was all downhill from then on in my opinion.
17 minutes.
Joan Rivers, who had eluded to sleeping with Carson in the past, realized how final he could be..when he cut her out of his life
Why all the pics of Jason Bateman when telling about his son who worked on the Tomorrow show?
Thank you! Someone didn't do their research. 😅😅😅
because this is nothing more than clickbate
@@douglashoward346 This video is a couple of years old on YT, it's been reposted, so as to look new.
Carson adopted Jason Bateman, renamed him Rick, and spoke to him as if he were just a friendly guest. Later to adopt Desi Arnez Jr and do the same to him. Who knew?
Yes I noticed that also 🤦🏻♀️
Johnny Carson is a class act within the entertainment industry. People are different, challenges, disabilities, etc.
No, Carson had no class. I hope he burns in hell for eternity.
There is extremely little content on which guest Johnny disliked the most.
It has been reported that Mr. Carson could not stand Bob Hope, yet was a pro about it. I have watched, and rewatched many later interviews with both of them to pick up "signals." LOL
Gotcha!😂
I agree. Deceptive.
It had to have been Bob Hope, the colossal dope.
It was Charlie Callas.
How to Trivialize a Legend
There’s no talk shows anymore as far as I’m concerned..Johnny was it ..never be anyone else like him EVER
Graham Norton is the BEST!!
Letterman was very good
Johnny is still the king of late night!
Carson's frustration with Callas's reliance on scripted gags and lack of evolution in his comedic style reveals the high expectations Carson had for his guests.
talk about calling the kettle black
talk about calling the kettle black. Tommy Smothers proved it.
This is why Steve Martin and David Letterman were favorites. They spent time preparing bits for the appearance with Mr. Carson.
Very long BIO's before the information promised in the title that doesn't start until the 17th minute!!! What a dishonest clickbait...
Dishonest CLICK BAIT covers pretty much 97% of the swill on BoobTube
I loved his show. It was much different than any other. RIP Mr. Carson
My mom was in labor with me but REFUSED to go to the hospital until Johnny Carson's show was over. I was born at 1:17AM 😂😂
LOL!! 😂
@Fishbabies How ignorant and stupid! What if something had gone wrong? Your Mum sounds like quite the DOLT! Ignorant can learn; stupid cannot. You’re laughing? What’s that say about your level of intellect? Hmm…
My mom told me she went into labor during the tonight show. I wasn't born until 6:30 AM. 😊
I was born at 10:31 pm. I had to get out for the monologue.
🤣😂🤣
Felt like I was in a Monty Python sketch. "Get on with it!"
Oh my gosh, I sure hope it isn't Dean Martin that he hates and permanently bannished from his show. I just love Dean.
I am wondering when Dean Martin's last appearance with Mr. Carson was.
@@jimlaforte1755 I saw it on one of these Tonight Shows where Dean came on, and surprised Johnny like three or four times.
I love Dean Martin too. His show started before I was born, but I love watching them, especially the Christmas specials.
For the record as a Carson Fan and after reading two of his biographies, he loved Dean Martin, he also had the utmost respect and adoration for Frank Sinatra, so yes he loved these other two legends.
I went into labor with my daughter, January 1970 while Johnny Carson was on she has always been a fan of his. Lol.
Fast forward to the end Bob Hope, Joan Rivers and Charlie Callas.
do that often with g. rewind
Thank you
Bob Hope just came on to promote his TV specials. Since they were on NBC the network pressured the Tonight Show to bring him on. He wouldn’t stay around always walking off after his interview unlike other guests who would move to the couch and stay until the end. This infuriated Johnny
@@stevedugan5036 Towards the end of Mr. Carson's run, Bob Hope would be relegated to the last guest segment. LOL. It started with Robbin Williams in 1987.
@@stevedugan5036 Studio 1 was designed by Bob Hope for HIS shows. Once Mr. Carson moved to Burbank, they shared the same studio.
The *REAL BETRAYAL* in regards to Joan Rivers was that she'd been offered and accepted a late night talk show that *COMPETED* with his long-running Tonight Show.
She owed him nothing! She was the real star!
If you're real about it, there was no "competition" Johnny was the king, she said, she should have told him and regretted the way he found out, but she feared his reaction and apparently, rightly so
RIP IN PEACE JOAN AND JOHNNY
He hated her for that. That was betrayal. And. he was so hurt by that...
@elisemiller13 He was very nasty. Not a nice gent.
I loved his show and I would record it when I couldn't watch due to having to be at work.The booming laughter of Ed McMahon added a lot to the show. Johnny Carson was the best.
Hey Yo!!
I saw Charlie Callas appear on The Tonight Show when Joan Rivers was guest host. Johnny was on vacation that week. He did a funny bit on drums making his signature sound effects. It was clever and he was a surprisingly good drummer. The night Johnny returned Ed Shaughnessy, the regular drummer in the band, performed an identical comedy bit making the sounds we associate with Charlie Callas. Johnny introduced it then laughed and complimented the performance but made no mention of the identical bit being done by Callas the week before. It was very odd and I wondered about it for years. After Charlie Callas passed away I read about the incident when Charlie shoved Johnny. He was banned from appearing on the show when Johnny was hosting. I did as much research as I could and found records of when Callas appeared while Rivers was host and Johnny was on vacation. Anyone officially part of The Tonight Show denied the snub took place. They might have not liked one another much but when Charlie shoved Johnny he was offended and felt disrespected. Johnny had earned the throne as King of late night television and it makes perfect sense that Johnny went out of his way to snub Callas.
Charlie Callas was a limited Las Vegas act. His schtick wore thin after only three minutes. Check him out on the short-lived, "The Jerry Lewis Show" which test aired on Metromedia (Later Fox) stations for one week in 1984.
Callas was a musician before he became a comic. He started out as a big band drummer. His comedy bits were quite funny for their time (comedy was a lot different back in the sixties) and the notion that Carson didn't like him is bs. I'm sure Carson didn't appreciate the disrespectful shoving but nobody would have appeared on Carson's show more than 50 times if Carson didn't approve of their talent.
😅😅
Frank Gifford’s affair was with Joanna, not Jody Carson.
It took you twenty minutes to get to the point. Delete channel.
@jeffdittrich6778 I CONCUR! A useless waste of time. Whoever has this channel…don’t quit your day job. You’ll never make it having a KZhead channel
I was grateful for the heads up of a comment and went straight to Hope.
Yes, get to the point! It wasn't captioned " A biography of Johnny Carson!
Clickbait. “Johnny Carson’s Biography” does not lure people.
Funniest show on Carson was when Dickie Smothers did a take off on Carson. He looked and acted exactly like Johnny. Everyone was busting a gut.
lol
He kinda Really did look like him.. Steve Martin too
From Canada, trust me that Johnny Carson was the best there was.
I didn’t realize I would miss Johnny Carson so much until I watched Colbert
Isn't that the truth.lmao😂🤣🤣
ColBARE SUCKS ASSSSSSSSSS
Yeah, Colbert is a political hack. And not that funny.
Love Colbert!❤
Colbert couldn’t shine Johnny Carson’s shoes Colbert is a non comedic Jack ass
when i was stationed a Nellis AFB, on Friday nights, we would go roller skating at this shopping center. after 10pm you had to show you were over 18, as there was a curfew to keep minors of the strip at night. one Friday, Mr Johnny Carson and his wife came there to skate. no one bothered him, and he was very nice to everyone. and bought everyone a drink of their choice, for the way we treated him and his wife. he didn't seem to have any problem making small talk to people from time to time. they were with us for at least two hours, and yes he did some slide of hand, lol. one of my fondest memories from back then.
So she first betrays his friendship, and then accuses him of being a sexist?! This after she herself admitted that Johnny Carson gave her the big break that she needed early in her career! Reprehensible.
Perfect timing - you ran out of applause just as I ran out of humility. Johnny Carson
lol
I was unfortunate enough to have spent an afternoon with Callas. It felt as if my life had been hijacked! Not for one moment did he let up on his unfunny jokes, his weird facial grimaces, his bizarre sounds and cacophonous speech. I was desperate to get away but politeness ruled in those days…one of worst moments of my life!
My wife and I used to watch him every weekday evening. He was the best and far superior to any of the talking heads late night hosts of today.
When I was younger I would watch Johnny all the time and my friends would say shit about it and never understood why , Johnny Carson was the man of Late Night , kinda miss him 😒✌
Johnny was one of the classiest late night show hosts ever. I didn't care for his obvious chauvinistic views, but I guess he was from that era. But other than that he said a lot of wise things, and had a lot of wise observations. He also cared about animals very much, which I loved about him. And I remember the show, for some reason, after his son died in the car crash, where he ended the show by showing his son's best photographs, you could see the pain in his eyes and hear the pain in his voice like I'd never seen, and I realized he was a very private person but also very deep. It is sad he had to forego being a family man for his career. But, I still think he was a very smart and elegant man. I don't think any other late night host can hold a candle to him.
Carson had no class at all. I hope he burns in hell for eternity.
Everyone is different when they get off work, don’t badmouth him..he worked for years every day..he was great PERIOD
Yes I agree. I watched about 4 minutes and realized this was a bait and switch and fast forward about 3/4 way through and reached the point.
There was a point? I never found it.
I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself. Johnny Carson
Carson's first wife didn't have an affair with Frank Gifford, Joanne Copeland did.
Yuck!
Gifford was known for cheating.
There are errors all over this video. Misidentified wives, photos of an adolescent Jason Bateman when the narrator is talking about Johnny’s son Rick. Just to name a few of the sloppy mistakes herein
Poor editing in several ways.
Or maybe Johnny Carson just felt that he was backstabbed by Joan Rivers
Bob Hope had lots of slick about him, but not enough to hide his thinly veiled racists tendencies! As more and more black artists came to be widely recognized and popular in the sixties and seventies Bobs comments became edged with bitterness. Perhaps you had to be a minority to see thru them, but they were definitely there!I think Jack Benny gave his butler too much attention for Bobs taste.
One has to be exceptionally immature to claim Bob Hope was racist. Mary Margaret Blumhorst is an idiot.
She never told Johnny that she was going to do the show. Johnny felt like she had betrayed him being that her show was in competition with Johnnys time slot. She became his rival and it pissed him off after all he had done for her.
Say what you will . He had his flaws, he recognized them.. and moved on. He was actually a gentleman.
The video is a long, drawn out attempt at getting people to watch content?
Ya think??
Such common click bait tactic
Click bait
I skipped to the end, could tell it was a sham by the idiots voice.
I'll be sure to never watch anything else from this guy again!
I've been looking for years for a unique episode. Early Robin Williams, great opening act (as usual for R.W.) and Robin is invited to have a seat, and a bit of his hilarious impromptu with Johnny. Next guest is Bob Hope, and it doesn't matter who follows Robin, no one can hope to compete. Now I understand the how & why of this night's show. Robin sits tight when Bob has his time with Johnny, I remember Bob's first line to Johnny as "Thanks alot Johnny". Robin was doing all he could to contain himself, sits still, quiet, clasped hands, but several times throughout Bob's chair time Bob would say something to Johnny and Robin would burst out in a 20 second manic riff, sit back down again, and Bob never knew what hit him, but Bob was, talent wise, hopelessly out classed. Been a lifelong quest hoping to find or run across that bit one more time.
I loved Johnny Carson! I watched him every night
Bob Hope always left after his interview was over with Johnny. I bet that didn’t sit well with Johnny.
My father met Bob Hope when he was in the army for WW2. He is the only person I heard my father say that he did not like.
Johnny was *VERY PRIVATE* about his personal life. You have to respect that. Many guests would tease and rib him about his multiple marriages to women named "Joanne/Joanna". That was usually the last time that guest appeared on his show.
Johnny might not have been a good husband or father but he was King of late night. The King would have been 99 years old now. Greatest late knight talk show host of all time.
Well, that’s 20+ minutes I can’t get back. All that, just to hear who Johnny didn’t like. Wow!
I enjoyed this very much.
Next time go straight to the comments like I just did, works most of the time for me.
Only about half a dozen guests he didn't get along with out of thousands? Quite a great guy with high standards.
I loved Joan Rivers! She was one of the truly funny female comedians.
OMG. She was vile. Mean.
Johnny Carson was just a person nothing more. No different than anyone else. Who cares who he couldn’t stand. Many people could stand him.
I know. Right? Mr. Carson was number one because he understood the demands of the job and the energy that was necessary to be able to pull it off.
Blasphemer! Johnny Carson was the King!
"However...let's take a look at what led up to this moment. The Early Life of Johnny Carson:" bleh.
Johnny went out with class. This hatchet job is a bit much. You don't get to the top by being a second banana.
The first wife, Jody, was NOT the one to have the affair with Frank Gifford. It was Johnny's second wife, Joann!
Carson had many demons including fear of entertainers who were superior to him. The best host of the Tonight Show was Steve Allen.
Thank you for saving me 18 minutes 👍
When Letterman used to guest-host, he used to kill on that show. He was SO GOOD that Johnny got threatened and gave Letterman a daytime show (that failed) in order to keep him away from the Tonight Show seat.
Letterman?
Doubt it
I once dated Johnny in high school. He brought me to the sock hop.
Are you in your 90's?
Really? That’s cool. I think it’s normal for Performers, who are that gifted. .. they, typically have big egos, but low self esteem’s. This bash documentary of Johnny Carson. The person that did it should be ashamed.

I saw a clip of David Tolly the great Piano Player that he chose out of his Audience, and his Audience loved David.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I happened across that. The original guest pianist had hurt their hand I believe. The follow up interview is equally heartwarming.
@@happydays8171 Do you happen to remember what year it was by chance that it happened? I hope David Tolley is doing very well, and I certainly do wish him all the very best of luck and happiness. I saw David Tolley on a show, but it seemed quite a bit later in years, so I'm wondering. He was such a very sweet and polite gentleman.
@@chirelle.alanalooney8609 Yes, David Tolley is very charming. Google it quickly, all I could find was a tic toc video of 2nd visit, Johnny said his first visit was December 19th, no year. I'm guessing early 80's.

It's not clickbait if address whats in the title, so what if's in the end, and he gave you 3 people just not one!
Norm Macdonald loved Bob Hope. And so I rest my case. If Norm liked it, it’s good.
I saw the Carson show in the 70's and during a commercial you could tell he and Freddy De Cordova (the producer) got into a little tiff. I think they resolved it before the commercial ended. Carson was his usual GREAT host but he barely engaged the audience, probably because he was so painfully shy. Still, the best night talk show I've seen. Runner up is Letterman.
I think you are trying to stir up NEGATIVE things about Johnny Carson. I don't care if he eventually had a falling out with Callas. He had a 30 year tonight show run, of course there are going to be a few people who rubbed him the wrong way OR he rubbed the wrong way. Moot point!
Fast forward to 20:51... It's Charlie Callas.... You're welcome
Why do they keep showing Jason Bateman as his son Rick...haha
I see them showed Jason Bateman as if it were Carson’s son. I remember watching the Carson show with my dad and sister when we were younger. Probably too young to really be watching him lol but my dad would make a bowl of popcorn, one of his favorite snacks, and we would sit there and eat, popcorn, and tell stories that we made up and watch Johnny. The way we would tell the stories was one person would say a sentence or two, and then the next person would add onto it, and then pass it onto the next person. We will go round and round. We would have the craziest made up stories. One of my fondest memories of my father. There’s a lots of them, but that is one that really sticks out in my head. My mom worked third shift so my dad was at home in the evenings with us.
Jimmy Calas, Bob Hope. There, I saved you 23 minutes and a lot of hot air.
Charlie Callas
😂 an expensive racket...when you two are the reason it fails
He was a great entertainer regardless of his personality in private.
Most of the pictures used to represent the grown Ricky Carson are not him...I Knew Ricky well especially as the best man in my Wedding!
I've heard from many sources that Bob Hope was a jerk in real life.
Fake heading
Why why WHY was Jason Bateman tagged as Carson’s son?! Sheesh!
The manager of the Palm Springs Airport revealed to me that, in his elderly years, Bob Hope would come to the airport late at night and walk the empty halls of baggage claim. True story.

If it weren't for Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of television, we'd still be eating frozen radio dinners.
I heard Hope was very self centered and a real ladies man. He pressured women of all kinds to just give in to his urges and it was like notche's on his bedpost and his wife suffered thru. Yes, Seems he was a control freak!
To reach that kind of pinnacle of success, one has to be very self-centered, and focussed which goes against having a partner and family. It was a different Era.
@@jimlaforte1755 I know that, I grew up when he was having his own shows.
this is soooooo much more interesting that the title would suggest
We all know it was Bob Hope
People who put a lot of themselves into a job can't wait to rest at home. They attain a certain silence in that they are no longer hearing what they heard at the job. It also means the pressure of confronting or meeting people properly is gone too.
Network Televison was both singular and BIG. Mr. Carson was a number one rated Star who had all of the pressures that went with being one. Who can blame him for desiring solace? This is what kept him fresh for so long.
Save your time. It was Bob Hope (jealousy), Joan Rivers (sexism and her leaving his show) and Charlie Callis (a playful shove gone wrong). This video was long for absolutely no reason. Skip it.
Thank you!!
Talking about comedian in America in my time Robin William is my best.

Seems it was Bob Hope
Charlie Callas.
