Remember When the Tonight Show Was Worth Watching?
. . . If only to catch glimpses of the band between commercial breaks.

Ah, Doc. I think that Joe Pass played with the Carson band for a while, also maybe for Merv Griffin.
Many polyesters gave their lives for the making of this incredible video.
Is Doc Severenson still alive, e en?
@Tommmcatt Can’t Believe He Ate The Whole Thing: 86, and still touring as of last fall.
@Mistress Cynica: Right and still designing brass instruments.
It had an air of class back then. I remember seeing Carson and his guests smoking and drinking (gasp!) on camera; it had a jovial, party atmosphere then. Or am I romanticizing too much?
Now it’s just as vapid and lame as everything else on the TeeVee.
(And yes, I fully embrace my curmudgeonhood. Now you kids get the fuck off my lawn!)
Dear Chicago Stinquers, Dodgers beat the Cards 13-4 tonight, you’re welcome.
@Dodgerblue: Hey, no spoilers! I’ve just started Ken Burns’ Tenth Inning.
And I have absolutely no interest in baseball. John Chancellor snookered me.
@pinkoscum: Carson was naughty. You can’t do Naughty anymore. No entendres worth doubling.
@nojo: Once you’ve gone profane, you can’t go back to naughty.
I used to watch Cavett when he was the competition. The episode with Jim Brown and Lester Maddox was epic. The night after that with Zero Mostel was a hoot.
@Dodgerblue: the ghost of Roberto Clemente doffs his cap
All I remember is a fake mic and a turban.
Karen Black died. She was 74?!?!
Trilogy of Terror, yo.
@JNOV: Zuni Hunting Doll!!!!
No. I don’t.
@Benedick: My grandmothr liked Ernie Kovacks better too.
