The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson Season 11 Episode 157 Tony Randall

  • May 10, 1973

In this episode of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, the guest is none other than Tony Randall. This marks Randall's 17th appearance on the show, having first been on as a guest back in 1967.

As usual, Johnny and Tony have great chemistry and banter throughout the show. They reminisce about past episodes and share some behind-the-scenes stories. They also discuss Randall's recent travels to Europe and the unique experiences he had there.

One particularly noteworthy moment comes when Johnny surprises Tony by bringing out his wife, Heather, for a cameo. The two share a sweet moment on stage and Johnny jokes that he hopes they are not acting "too lovey-dovey" in front of the audience.

In addition to Randall's appearance, the night's lineup of guests is just as impressive. Singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins performs his hit song, "Footloose," which had recently been released as part of the eponymous movie soundtrack.

The show also features a segment with famed animal trainer Joan Embery, who brings out several exotic animals for Johnny and Tony to interact with. Johnny holds a baby kangaroo while Tony tries to feed a baby anteater. As always, the animal segment is a hit with the audience.

The episode concludes with Tony and Johnny playing a game called "One Word Impressions." The game involves each of them saying a famous person's name and then the other person has to do an impression of that person using only one word. For example, Johnny says "John Wayne" and Tony responds with "pilgrim." The game is hilarious and showcases both host and guest's comedic talents.

Overall, this episode of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson is a classic example of the show's comedic and entertaining format. With great guests, funny segments, and impromptu moments, it is a testament to Carson's talent as a host and his ability to put his guests at ease.
