Hey there, fellow Johnny Carson enthusiasts! I hope you're feeling good and ready for a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Who can forget those nights in front of the TV, staying up late just to watch The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson? I mean, talk about a trip back to the good old days, right? Ah, 1987, the time when Ronald Reagan was still president, a gallon of gas was just around 89 cents, and a movie ticket would set you back less than 4 bucks. Those were the days, my friend.

I know you remember that classic episode when Jay Leno vented about flying on airlines. It aired on August 7, 1987, and boy, did it have us in stitches! We can all relate to Jay's frustrations with our less-than-stellar experiences while traveling. Remember how he joked about being on the "frequent survivor program"? That line still cracks me up!

And who can forget when Jay talked about the near-collision between two planes in the sky? I mean, really, how does that even happen? You'd think with all that open space up there, and they'd have plenty of room to maneuver. It's like Jay said, "You put 10 horses in a corral, they run around, they don't bang into each other."

What about those tiny commuter airlines? You know, the ones that make you wonder if you're even going to survive the trip? Jay's description of them as "flying slave ships" couldn't have been more accurate. And let's not even get started on the dreaded middle seat, stuck between a screaming baby and an elderly person with halitosis—yikes!

If you're anything like me, you watched that episode with your family, laughing along as Jay poked fun at the absurdity of air travel. And it's always a good time to reminisce about our shared moments. So why not take a trip back in time and relive the hilarity by watching the video of Jay Leno venting about flying on airlines over at MadlyOdd? You'll want to share it with your friends and family because laughter is the best medicine, and we all need a good chuckle these days.

Let's get ready to hit that play button and enjoy some classic Johnny Carson gold. Happy watching, and remember to like and share!
