Burt Reynolds Dishes On His Johnny Carson Interview: Part 1

We talk to Burt Reynolds about his appearance on the Johhny Carson show, and man he has some good stories! Before he went on air, the staff told Reynolds the do's and dont's Carson allowed on the show. After acknowledging them, Burt asked the producers for shaving cream and scissors. Huh.

If you've seen the interview you know what he did with them. But if you haven't, Burt runs us through it and it's fun to hear about the back and forth between Carson and Reynolds!

Burt has a story about everyone he's ever met in show business. I could listen to his stories all day. RIP Mr. Reynolds.

Burt Reynolds always gave us a good laugh right when we needed it most. My father and I loved him on Carson. Sadly, my father died two months ago, and I am dedicating the month of June to watching fun videos my father and I enjoyed together since Father's Day is in June.

I miss watching Carson, that was true comedy.
Thanks for the memories Burt, RIP Buddy.

Just read the Carson bio by his longtime friend/attorney Henry Bushkin. Johnny was strange and eccentric, but the perfect Tonight Show Host. We'll never see his like again. RIP Johnny and Burt.

I remember watching this episode so clearly! I was a young boy staying up late for the tonight show and I couldn’t stop laughing. My world was opening up.

I remember the whipped cream bit it was hilarious and very risque for the times that is why Burt mentioned the sponsors. Don Rickles and Rodney Dangerfield were also great on The Carson show. That was entertainment, not like the garbage they have on now. Johnny, Burt, Don, and Rodney may they all Rest in peace.

Burt...will forever be a "Classic"! Too...funny, & yes, I remember seeing that show.

When I saw the show, I thought I was going to need an ambulance. I couldn't breath

Burt was an interesting man. . Went to a theatre in the 70's to see "The Longest Yard" and the movie is on cable 3-4 times a year now. How times change.

I believe Burt is combining two different shows he was on here. The episode where it ends w/Johnny asking for more whipped cream down his pants is on YouTube and is hilarious! I wish the other episode with Burt cutting Johnny's tie, etc, was also available to view again. Equally hilarious, I'm sure!

[ianbauer]

Cool story. Miss folks like Burt and Johnny in the world.

[kevinmurphy]

Ol Burt, he was just the shadow of the man he once was when he went out. RIP.

Laurel & Hardy.
It was pure old fashioned comedy that night.
And today we have vicious and biased political agenda set ups.
