Emu Attacks Johnny Carson

E M U Attacks Johnny Carson

[Nantosuelta]

Its such a simple premise, but it never stops being funny. RIP Rod Hull, a true legend

The fear Rod Hull was able to inspire in so many adults is hilarious. I love how he gets Emu to do a cheeky look to camera before he attacks, it's those tiny details that elevate this to legendary status.

The way in which Rod Hull was able to imbue Emu with so much personality -- even though Emu never said a word (and never needed to!) -- is incredible and shows you just how gifted a puppeteer he was. The body language he gives to Emu is simply wonderful to watch.

Never seen this before, didnt even know Rod went to America. Fantastic! Another English export for us to be proud of. And Johnny Carson was a brilliant sport for playing along.

Thanks for posting

From June 1983, and today (March 2019) it's STILL funnier than a lot of "comedy" on TV today.

The way he makes it look like the Emu is moving him around is brilliant puppetry.

Such great antics, and great puppiters. I miss the days where we all use to laugh so much. God bless Johnny Carson. Thank you for all you did to help us all to enjoy our lives.

To have one of the greatest comedians ever laughing means you have something special.

It doesn't matter how many times you see this or any of the other sketches, Emu still looks like a real character.

Johnny's response when he first got attacked 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂!! Omg, freaking hilarious!! ❤

Rod Hull's son Toby took over Emu for a while in a tv series on itv in the UK. Rest in peace Rod. You and Emu gave British kids in the 70s happy memories 😅

[Hossluver_Gal]

Love & miss you both! Such great entertainment back in the day!!! 🙏🏼

This was stinkin’ adorable…
Especially the final attack!
What a talented puppeteer!

This was awesome, Johnny just went with it, soooo classic. I miss Richard and Johnny.

[tillypoozies]

Whenever I'm having a bad day I watch this. It makes me laugh so hard every time. Priceless.

[audreysummers]

OMG, I remember when this came on. I totally forgot about how vicious Emu was. Hahaha! Thank you for posting this. I really miss Johnny Carson.

[JustMe-vkfn]

Oh thank you for the laughs this morning.... :D I miss Johnny Carson and his show. What a great segment.

[captainkaos]

Absolute gold 👍👍😂😂😂😂😂😂 I remember this guy coming to Australia many times when I was a kid.

[Ptolemy_K]

Rod puts his hand on Johnny's throat and Johnny plays along brilliantly. Even Letterman couldn't have made that bit work quite as well 😂😂

It's great to hear Americans laugh so much at crazy british humor. This was when Americans has a sense of humor.
