Harvey Korman’s interview from Johnny Carson’s The Tonight Show is a delightful and humorous trip down memory lane. It is heartwarming to find how Carson’s humor and warmth put Korman at ease, allowing him to share his personal stories with the audience. From Korman’s hilarious stories to Carson’s witty banter, this video clip has it all – and more.
One of the things that makes this interview so unique is the chemistry between Carson and Korman. They interact like two old friends catching up after a long time. They’re comfortable with each other, know each other’s quirks, and are not afraid to poke fun at each other.
And speaking of poking fun, the jokes in this video clip are pure gold. From Korman’s neck brace to his near-drowning experience, there’s no shortage of funny anecdotes to entertain you. But what sets this clip apart is how Carson and Korman can take these real-life, harrowing experiences and turn them into laugh-out-loud moments.
It also showcases Carson’s skill as a host. He can keep the conversation moving while also allowing Korman to shine. And he does it all with a calm and relaxed demeanor that makes the audience feel like they are looking at professionals at work.
The stories of Korman’s hospital visit because of the drowning incident and McLean Stevenson being there before him are just as entertaining. The way Korman narrates the hilarious story about his friend, who is more concerned about the next-door girl in the other room than his friend Korman’s condition, makes it seem like it’s straight out of a comedy sketch.
This conversation between Carson and Korman reveals a deep respect between them. Carson’s thoughtful gesture of arranging the dinner with Tim Conway and Stevenson in doctor’s attire, and Korman’s belief that it was all staged, show how the gems of the entertainment industry spend their time & help one another in times of need.
This interview is a perfect example of how humor can make even the most challenging moments bearable. Carson’s talent as an interviewer and Korman’s natural comic talent make this clip a treat for fans.
