Title: 2-DVD Set, with like 20 Popular/Famous comics - Like 7 minutes each!!
Review: Review Date 12-22-2023; Better than I had expected!! George Carlin's set was kind of weak. What bothers me the Most - Comedian Darryl Sivad (a blk. gentleman) Knocked it Out of the Park - and he's Not even listed on the Box!! I'm currently 62, and if you enjoy comedy that is Cleaner than most are nowadays - you'll Probably like this Set. 4.5 Stars. (Btw - should be more bonuses and bios!!) And they Should have had Dennis Wolfberg!! (R.I.P.)

Title: It's Carson...It's The First Appearance Of Most Of These Comedians...What more could you want!
Review: I refer you to the header....it says it all. Carson gave so many comedians of our generation and up until today their start that it will surprise you who all's here. It's worth the price for the memories and because comedy is also subjective you'll like some, you'll love others and a few won't be your cup of tea. That's what a line up like this is all about. I enjoyed myself immensely so I would heartily recommend it.

Title: a little disappointed
Review: I have to admit that I was a little disappointed with this item. Most of the comedians that appear in the episodes are not well known and frankly weren't very funny. I can't wholeheartedly recommend this item.

Title: Classic late-night standup is good, but not great.
Review: It should be known that, at twenty-six years old, I was not around/not old enough to stay up late to watch any of these clips live. That being said, I love stand-up comedy of all eras and I know that a lot of greats had made their marks on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.The DVD promises "classic routines," but what it really should have said is "first time on televsion for some comedians." Jerry Seinfeld, Roseanne Barr, Brett Butler, Steven Wright, and Drew Carey are among those making their TV debuts. As a sort of historical document, this is kind of cool. But as far as bringing the funny goes, some of these routines are lacking -- most notably in Seinfeld's case. It's easy to see that he got way better through the years.The rest of the set is fairly uneven; George Carlin is off his game here (though that just may be the restraints of broadcast TV), but Gallagher's routine was one of the most enjoyable even without his Sledge-o-Matic. It really varied from one comedian to the next. It was also apparent that the less-well-known comedians (Ronnie Shakes?) were less known for a reason.This two-disc set isn't really as bad as I make it seem. There were some surprises from comedians that I wasn't really familiar with (as in I haven't heard their material) like Louie Anderson and Garry Shandling. Rodney Dangerfield was hilarious as usual. It's just that the shortcomings of the DVD are so obvious: first-time apperances that weren't very good, unknown and unfunny comics, etc.I would recommend this DVD for fans of older comedy because there are some gems to be found here, but at the same time tell them not to expect a whole lot from the set otherwise.

Title: Carson is the best!
Review: I remember staying up every night to watch the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and he is the best there ever was hands down! I don't recall seeing all of these comedians but they are definitely funny, some better than others but if you buy this you won't regret it.

Title: Another reason why Johnny's the king of late night.
Review: I loved it! Johnny Carson IS the King of Late Night and there's no two ways about it. It's great to be able to see him interact with many great comedians of that era. I think it's a great buy, though I feel like it excluded a few stand-up acts that I enjoyed when the show was still on television. Nonetheless, it's a great DVD set for the Classic TV savvy.
