Hey there, fellow Johnny Carson fan! So, I was digging through some classic Carson moments on YouTube and stumbled upon this hilarious gem from 1979. Picture it: Jimmy Carter was in the White House, a loaf of bread cost around 50 cents, and the Bee Gees were dominating the charts with their disco beats. Those were the days, huh?

In this delightful video, Johnny Carson and Doc Severinsen chat about their Thanksgiving plans on "The Tonight Show." Remember how Carson and Severinsen always had such an effortless banter? You can't help but chuckle when they go back and forth, discussing their respective turkey day traditions.

As they reminisce about their former spouses and the bickering that ensued over Thanksgiving dinner, you can't help but appreciate the comedic chemistry between these two legends. In one particularly memorable exchange, Johnny quips that his ex-wife's preferred stuffing is "bread stuffing and a lot of money." Ouch, but so Johnny!
