Carson retired and things took about a 50% dive under Leno. Then he quit and everyone else just plain sucks.

And the post-humorous SNL metasticized into late-night talk.

I remember that episode. Those to were feeding off each other. I always would cry when Craig (and Geoff) would have laugh attacks. They were so underrated.

***I remember when comedians were unable to make jokes about Obama — he was just too awesome.***

I remember the Rodeo Clown who performed a skit I first saw way back in 1967 during the Lying Lyndon Johnson mis-administration.

When Obama was the butt of that same clown act it suddenly became “racist”. The clown was banned from certain rodeos after that.

The skit is, during the bull riding, the rodeo clown pulls out a dummy and props it up with a broom stuck in the “proper” position. The dummy has a mask of the President on it.

When the bull is released, if it bucks toward the fence nothing happens. If it bucks toward the dummy, the dummy suddenly comes alive, grabs the broom, whacks the bull on the butt an makes a beeline toward the fence with the bull after him.

Rodeo clowns work in pairs.

If you have a Roku, it comes with the Roku channel, which has a selection of streaming channels. One is old Carson shows 24/7. It’s great, though you can’t fast forward through commercials.

Thanks, but I don't have a Roku. I'll just have to rely on YouTube until they ban Carson for being genuinely funny.
