If you are a bad person, and are sent to Hell, you will sit on a couch for all eternity facing a television. On one channel you can watch Samantha Bee, on the other channel you can watch Stephen Colbert. If you turn the TV off, the couch starts on fire. I would, of course, turn off the TV, but still, the thought of sitting on a flaming couch for all eternity is enough to keep me on the straight and narrow.
I like both.
You can pretty much murder and plunder to your heart's content, then; Satan has nothing stronger in his arsenal than those two.
According to Denis Leary (who may end up there for stealing Bill Hicks’ act), there’s a room where they just play Shadow Dancing by Andy Gibb for eons and eons.
So, I may choose Bee and C.

Shadow Dancing, according to science, is 1/2,558,179,367th as annoying as Samantha Bee.
Is there a word for being really, really stupid yet believing that you are really, really smart? If there isn't, there should be, so I propose "colbert".
This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

The part of Carson’s genius was that he was always apolitical. A politician might be woven into some monologue jokes but usually not at their expense, per se. The person had to veer into pop culture - to be talked about by everyone in the country - and even then the jokes were not abusive and it was never pertaining to policy or the outright mockery we see today; in his time, Carson knew where the line was for the American audience better than any performer except maybe Bob Hope.

And his audience was many times larger as a result. I don't know anyone politically to the right of center that watches any late night shows anymore, nobody to the right of Bernie Sanders who can stomach Colbert, and nobody to the right of Stalin who can watch Samantha Bee for more than 15 seconds. They are all speaking, or in Bee's case shrieking, inside the same leftist echo chamber and anyone with an independent thought is definitely not welcome.

Depending on your provider, there’s a network called Antenna TV that airs Carson nightly at 10pm. Hardcore fans of the show know too great a percentage of the pre-1975 shows are gone; All the networks, including NBC, reused tape in those days and obliterated a LOT of classic programming. But that’s still a lot of great work in the second half of his career. There are some surviving episodes from prior but mostly ones sent to the Armed Forces overseas, and certain episodes deemed ‘instant’ classics; there’s a few ‘fan copies’ that will surface; acquired through NBC connections.
One great feature - you forget this stuff - is the way commercial breaks would work. There’d often be plugs by Johnny or Ed going into and out of commercials.
“...that’s true, that’s true. Ok, will you stay with me? Great. Folks at home, we’l be right back after this commercial break, and speaking of breaks, when I need a break there’s nothing that hits the spot quite like an ice cold, refreshing Budweiser beer. It’s the king of beers. And now a word from the folks at Anheuser-Busch...”

Johnny spoke of those tapes being recorded over and he was pi$$ed! If I remember correctly he was particularly upset over the first show he did with Groucho Marx.

When Carson was on, there were only 3 channels. I enjoyed him, and was disappointed to learn that he was a sleaze ball in real life.

How was he a sleaze ball? I have heard that when he was young, he was a very nasty drunk, but I think he ended up going on the wagon.
What I heard was he was a very private person with few friends and not into the "Hollywood" scene.

A few years ago, His attorney, Henry Bushkin, wrote a book that got deeper into the private Carson. It’s a good read albeit not always a flattering one for the King of Late Night...

There was a detective show with a very portly guy that I can't remember the name.
One time a bad guy pretty much emptied his gun on the fat man but he just kept coming
and tackled him and I believe wrestled the gun out of his hand. Don't know if the bullets just
weren't penetrating all the blubber or what was going on there.
Can't remember the name of the sturdily built fellow or the show.
That was another show we watched heavily. For some reason it was hugely popular. He was Big time big.
