Its a sad day out there folks...


HOW SAD IS IT?!


Along with Carnack (sp?) the magnificent one of my favorites was Floyd R. Turbo, the hayseed dressed in a red flannel jacket with a goofy hunting hat. His rants were always hysterical.

No one could work with animals like Johnny Carson. He knew to step back a little and let the animals get the laugh, and he was the set-up guy. Same thing with little kids - he always let the kids get the best of him in such a loving, innocent way.

Of course, there were all those risque double entendre's that my parents probably wished I didn't hear. Wasn't there one about a cat sitting on a woman's lap and a question she asked him......

Johnny Carson knew timing better than any modern comdedian - no wonder since he worked with Jack Benny and Red Skelton.

Can you imagine Jack, Red, Johnny, Bob Hope, Milton Berle, Jimmy Durante, George Burns, et.al. all sitting around swapping jokes.....

Compared to those guys the comedians we have now are just high paid bus boys.
