Donald Trump demands the return of Johnny Carson to Late night
Johnny's dead unless there is someone who knows how to reanimate dead people
Donald Trump railed against the state of late night television during a Sept. 23 rally in Pennsylvania for his presidential campaign. He claimed the late night shows hosted by Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel are “all dying” and added: “These three guys are so bad.” Trump is often the target of jokes on these programs.
“He’s not very funny,” Trump said specifically about Fallon after a clip from Kamala Harris’ 2020 appearance on “The Tonight Show” aired during the rally. The clip featured Harris talking about fracking and Fallon responding: “Mamala Kamala just don’t give a frack.”
“Those three guys are being blown away by [Fox News’] Gutfeld,” Trump added. “When I first ran in 2015 or was thinking about running I went on [Jimmy’s] show, ‘The Tonight Show,’ which is dying. They’re all dying. Where is Johnny Carson? Bring back Johnny. It made you appreciate the greatness of Johnny Carson. These three guys are so bad.”

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Late night does stink nowadays.

I hate to say something nice about him but Trump did pay off Ed McMahon's mortgage when Ed went bankrupt. He did it because he loved the Carson show so much.

r1 That reminds me. Has Kimmel completed his apology tour for his antics on "The Man Show," yet?

R3, did trump say that? And Jimmy eviscerated Trump the other night. It was a thing of beauty. Trump's so stupid for going after comedians. He must have a humiliation fetish

I miss Johnny Carson. Whenever clips from his show get posted, I’m struck by how effortless he made hosting seem. He may have been an ass in real life, but he’s still peerless.

Never believe Trump, R3. Especially when it comes to charitable donations, to McMahon, to veterans' groups, to endless things.
Trump was once a fixture at charity balls and events but evidently he thought his mere presence was charity enough and never got around to transferring any money to [fill in the blank] cause/s. Though he always lied and said he did.

I thought it was funny a few years ago when I heard Don Rickles talking about late night.
He said you used to just talk. Now you have to play ping pong.

It’s not unusual to say “bring back Johnny Carson.” People understand it to mean that network TV should return to that version of the Tonight Show.
