The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson

Joan Embery, Bob Nelson (25x147)

Ausstrahlung: Aug 25, 1987

Wildlife expert Joan Embery brings a Koala bear, his albino brother and a Lemur to visit; comedian Bob Nelson does a great stand up bit and chats with Johnny. This is a fun and interesting episode as Johnny is very relaxed after two weeks vacation and we see a slightly different side of him. In the opening monologue he tells an un PC joke about a political figure that would have been funny if Don Rickles told it but the audience doesn't accept it coming from Johnny. He talks shop openly on camera with Fred DeCordova and others who are giving him cues. He even slips up and uses salty language a couple of times during the show. At the close of the show it was bad enough to get bleeped out. Johnny immediately realizes what he said and apologizes to America before saying good night.
