Favorite/Least Favorite Episodes from January


The first month of repeating Johnny Carson episodes are done. What was your favorite and least favorite?

My favorite has to be the one with Lou Brock, Don Rickles, Eli Wallach and Colleen McCullough. All of them were interesting to listen to, Rickles was funny, and Wallach was energetic and informative. I had heard of Thorn Birds but never read the book or seen the eventual mini-series. Listening to McCullough and Brock was like a fascinating peak in the past.

My least favorite has to be the Goldie Hawn, Buck Henry, and Dennis Dugan episode. I thought Hawn's interview at times was awkward and all over the place. Henry at first looked like he didn't want to be there but as his interview went on he kind of warmed up. Dugan was kind of boring to me. The
sketch where Carson was George Washington had a couple of chuckles, but compared to other bits I saw this one fell flat.
