The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson with guest Don Rickles (1992)
I've posted so many episodes of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson with Don Rickles as a guest I really can't remember which of these I've posted before (if any). Well, if this has appeared before, it's just like when Johnny was still on the air - a plethora of reruns (actually, i'm pretty sure I haven't posted this one before - surely I'd remember Don slapping Ed in the face!).
Gidget with special guest star Irwin Charone (1965)
I was saying yesterday how I love the way popular culture bastardized and utilized beat culture and the hippies that followed in their barefootsteps to contemporize their output. Comic books, cartoon shows, beach party movies and sitcoms also capitalized on mods and the British invasion with all manner of dumb take-offs on The Beatles and their like. This episode of Gidget revolves around a fictional rock band called The Dingbats. It also features a very funny turn from character actor Irwin Charone as a florist.
Here's Lucy (1974) - Footage Offline - 03/10/09
This is a bizarre episode of Lucille Ball's third television series, Here's Lucy. The series often featured celebrity guest stars (usually used to make up for tired, old fashioned scripts), but in this episode the celebrity guest star is Lucy herself. Lucy's character Lucy Carter meets Lucile Ball. A bizarre, almost existentialist concept.

The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson with guests Siskel & Ebert - Footage Offline - 12/20/09 (1987)
There's a moment early on in this one where Johnny gives the camera a priceless look while the critics bicker.
