In November 1987 I finally visited LA and got to see the show live. Showed up around 5 and put in the standby line. Got in but practically the worst seat in the house almost the last upper row. Still nothing like seeing it done live. Doc and Ed were there so it was the main cast intact and as an added bonus the big guest that night was Jimmy Stewart. In some ways it was like watching a fine tuned machine work. The show with Carson was in the 25th year at that point.
“the big guest that night was Jimmy Stewart”
Mega WOW.
Was that the show were he read the poem about his dog?
