DVD Reviews of The Ultimate Johnny Carson Collection - His Favorite Moments from The Tonight Show (Vols. 1-3) (1962-1992)
DVD Review: Wonderful Walk Down Memory Lane
Summary: 5 Stars
A true best-of with very short pieces of some amazing acts by Carson and by his guests including some very young Carlin and Leno plus a moving coverage of the final episode. I'm very glad I bought this set and I expect to view it every year or so. Enjoy!DVD Review: Johnny's grrrrrreat!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful selection of scenes from the Tonight Show. Nobody does it as well as he did. I was tired from laughing after watching the DVD. The only thing wrong with it is that it's not long enough.DVD Review: One of the best
Summary: 4 Stars
Generally good, I was a little disappointed that It did not have more of Johnny's Monologs. I always thought that was the best part of the show. DVD Review: It's Good
Summary: 3 Stars
We enjoyed watching this selection but were disappointed that there were no monologues included, which Johnny was famous. It's good but not great. Makes you miss him more!DVD Review: If you enjoy classic humor - this is a must see video
Summary: 5 Stars
Memorable Johnny Carson show clips! If you are too young remember Johnny Carson - here's your chance to view the man in action and see why he was a late night favorite for years.
Description of The Ultimate Johnny Carson Collection - His Favorite Moments from The Tonight Show (Vols. 1-3) (1962-1992)
Studio: Respond2 Entertainment Release Date: 10/14/2003 Run time: 420 minutes Rating: NrCulled from 30 years of material, this collection of moments from The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson contains some of most inspired bits of lunacy ever recorded. Whether cajoling with Hollywood's biggest stars or normal folk with special talents, Carson was a master of finding the right joke, with timing second to none. Along with bits of his opening monologues, skits, and early standup appearances from the likes of David Letterman and Eddie Murphy, there are many highlights with perhaps the perfect Carson guest--exotic animals that stole the show. This collection was released shortly after Carson's reign ended in 1992. Although most of the tapes from his first decade are lost, there are plenty of highlights from the '70s through the '90s. Also included is Carson's touching and historic "Final Show," which finds the host simply talking to his audience and showing highlights--or just the faces--from his years on the set. Although many followed--and a few have even succeeded--Carson's Midwest charm made him the king of TV in a period when America was defined by television.
The DVD edition adds some superlative extras, including "Danger Johnny" segments from his first decade, short bits on the history of the show and the host, and more behind-the-scenes glances, including an intriguing way to watch the final show via unedited feeds from isolated studio cameras. Also included is the 1982 NBC special "Johnny Goes Home," which follows Carson on a tour of his rural Nebraska homeland, and a slightly edited version of the penultimate show, in which his last two guests, Robin Williams and Bette Midler, are on fire. These extras make the DVD, produced a decade after Carson left, a must-have piece of entertainment and pop history. --Doug Thomas
