JC: " That was very nice of you, I'm Johny Carson and this is The Monologue, better known as the Saint Valentines day massacre."

JC: " Burbank is kind of strange on Valentines day, a lot of older people live out here, I went to a drugstore today and they were selling Valentines day cards, of Cupids shooting a arrow through a Heart and Lung machine.

JC: ' iF you girls think you've got trouble how would you like to be Dr Christian Bernards wife, when he gives you a Heart for Valentines Day its a real Heart....i just say things like that because it's a late night show, If I had funny stuff i would be on Prime time.

JC" Don Rickles sent me a Valentine , a 8x10 glossy of Willard the Rat."

JC:" I have a little poem for the occasion, Roses are red, Violets are blue, if you don't laugh at the Monologue, we send Tommie Newsome home with you. "

someone in the audience shouts out-"Its better than nothing." which Carson finds hysterical.it really seems to be audience participation night, as the Monologue was interrupted three different times.
JC:"Thats not what Mrs Newsome says."

JC:' valentines day is a very special day for Tommie and his wife, she leaned over him today and whispered those three special words: rest in peace."

JC: President Nixon made a speech today on the environmental state of the union and he said that the nation is facing an energy crises, Which means: Henry Kissenger is tired."

they had odd and even days when you could gas up, if your license pate ended in an even number you could gas up that day, if not you had to wait the next day, the arabs had placed an embargo on the western world, the amazing thing is that 40 years later, there is more Gas than ever, even though there are more cars and more people. but we should never forget what happened that summer of 1973, My dad drove a cab, so you can imagine how hard he had it, and people would siphon gas out of people cars at night. the United States should always stay energy independent.
