When I was a kid I was sure Doc was apart of the team. But he seems to be a committed straight.

95! Makes you realize how much time has passed. Carson ended 30 years ago.

It's on every weekday night at 10pm on Antenna TV.

Happy Birthday, Doc!

(Now the crone/dotard who trails me all over DL will respond with its latest inanity: "He can't hear you.")

Back in the early 80s I was shopping at Ansley Mall (Atlanta) one day. I decided to pop into the Morrison's Cafeteria for a bite of lunch. As I was sitting there Doc Severinsen and his band came through the door. They went through the line and must have bought 3 plates of food per guy. The manager pulled some tables together off in a corner for them and they all sat there eating like it was the last meal they'd ever have. They all seemed to genuinely nice, happy guys.

This is one of my favourite clips from the show. There’s nothing on late night anymore like this.

Wow, R7/OP, thanks for posting that clip! So organically funny.

I miss grownup humor.

I always thought he was hot.

That clip is a favorite of mine. They were both so hammered!

I disagree, R10. I don’t think they took or drank anything beforehand. I don’t know, of course.

They all drank on the job back then. Carson would keep a lit cigarette under his desk and puff on it during breaks. He was a notorious chainsmoker.

He was also a very mean guy.
