Message: [QUOTE="ConwayGmck, post: 4009441, member: 10442"] This was a great show - it fell apart almost from the beginning. First Carson was introducing Gobel, and Dean Martin walks out, unexpectedly. He wasn't even supposed to be on the show that night! So Gobel didn't come out until later. And after Gobel was supposed to be Robert Wagner and Tonight Show character actress Carol Wayne coming out, but they barely got onto the show at the very end. Martin was either very drunk, or did a great job of acting like he was. Wayne's contribution at the end was also hilarious. At the start of this show, Carson was wearing his typical dress shirt and tie, but took special note of his band leader's faddish suit. Later on in the show, Carson had changed his regular attire with a mock tee and a fancy scarf tied around his neck, which I think he was uncomfortable with as he kept fiddling with it. Here's a larger portion of the show that begins with Dean Martin making his surprise, which is pretty much when the show started falling apart: [MEDIA=youtube]DZjMmBQRxsY:439[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
