I remember seeing this LIVE.
Yes, we have become so PC that human nature and honest interaction is almost unheard of anymore.
May 4th, 2008 at 2:54 pmI saw this LIVE also. It was one of the funniest Jonny Carson shows of all time IMO. Notice that they are smoking on the set, and Dean Martin is dropping his ashes in the man’s beer.

“the man’s beer…”
That’s George Gobel. You’re not going to tell me that you remember seeing this live and you don’t know George Gobel, are you? He was a friggin’ regular on Carson.
Just fuckin’ with ya!
May 4th, 2008 at 3:11 pmOops! Forgot the task at hand. Name everything that wouldn’t be tolerated today.
1. Smoking on nationwide TV.
2. Drinking booze on nationwide TV.
3. Flicking ashes in George Gobel’s cocktail on nationwide TV.
4. Expressing pride in having served your country on nationwide TV.
5. Wearing a scarf around your neck on nationwide TV.
6. Carrying a golf club on nationwide TV where there is no green in sight.
That’s me done.

Yeah, I remember “Lonesome” George Goebel. I thought of his name after I posted. This clip was during a time when Lonsome George was making a comeback. He saved his best jokes for the Carson show. He was always a riot.

May 4th, 2008 at 6:39 pmWhy have we allowed ourselves to become such cheerless, whining wimps?!?
You can’t smoke on TV now, but cursing is fine, as is same-sex french-kissing.
Bring back the Marlboros.
PS: Damn, Dan, you an old bastard–even older than me! I thought you were a young buck!
May 4th, 2008 at 6:45 pmYall ain’t old! Why, if I HAD been in the service, I would have served under Lee!
May 5th, 2008 at 2:10 amDon’t forget the reference to the Japanese. Wouldn’t happen now, don’t want to upset the balance of trade. Dean would need more than a drink to put up with society today
