I’m not old enough to remember Jack Paar. Steve Allen was great but Johnny defined the show. Pull up Buddy Hackett and “The Duck Joke”. Never gets old.
Hey thanks. It brings up memories of my late Father. Nothing and no one could make him crack up like Buddy Hackett😉
Not so much now due to their politics but back in the day SNL was hilarious. Even some of the later stuff (pre 2016) was funny like Justin Timberlake and the junk in a box or the cow bell routine with Will Farrell. Eddie Murphy doing Mr. Rodgers and Buckwheat were rib busters. Debbie Downer and anything with Chris Farley are also funny.Unpopular opinion — I’ve never found the tonight show, letterman, Leno, SNL, etc funny..
They have had funny moments.. but on the whole, those shows are and have been way overrated.
Agree on all those bits. Going back to the original days the first cast was funny or so it seemed to two new parents who were up late with a newborn. They were “so silly you had to laugh” funny if that makes sense,Not so much now due to their politics but back in the day SNL was hilarious.
