Hello, dear enthusiasts of Carson! We’ve got a delightful throwback treat for you today. Remember those nights you stayed up late just to catch Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show? I sure do. Well, I’ve got something special that will transport you back to those cherished times.
Picture this: it’s December 31, 1987, and Ronald Reagan is still in the White House. A loaf of bread would set you back a meager 70 cents, while a gallon of gas was around 95 cents. You could snag a new car for approximately $10,000, and a movie ticket was a mere $3.50. The airwaves were grooving to “Walk Like an Egyptian” by The Bangles, while “Three Men and a Baby” was tickling funny bones in theaters. Ah, the good old days, right?
Now, in this delightful find from the YouTube archives, we witness the legendary Johnny Carson hosting his annual Singing Dog Contest on The Tonight Show. Can you believe it has been so long? Johnny’s trademark wit and charm shine through as he introduces each contestant and their talented canine, just as we remember him doing.
