Tommy’s impression of Johnny Carson was spot on. He even looks a lot like Johnny! Rest in Peace Tommy.
& JOHNNY 😅
I honestly couldn’t tell if it was tom or johnny at first
They could have been brothers
Yes his impression of Johnny Carson is the best. I you had a talent contest for best impression ess Tommy would win. Rip YoYo man
Always pleasant memories, and a yearning for what once was. Johnny, Ed, Doc, The Smothers Brothers, Don Rickles, and so, so many more. What a time! May you rest in peace Tommy! ✌️♥️
On the show, New Years Day, 1975, Johnny realized that the year 2000 was only 25 years away and, “We’ll all live to see it.” He was right, they all did, and Doc Severinson is still hanging in there at 96!
So glad I got to meet Tommy about 12 years ago. He was at a restaurant in Westlake Village CA I was playing at. We were outside talking to him on a break. I asked if he was still doing the yo-yo thing. He said yes and actually pulled a yo-yo out of his sock and starting doing tricks. This actually happened. Totally funny and super nice guy.
Not a lot of people remember he brought the yo yo back. I bought one in the 80s because of him.
Very poignant when Dick says “wherever I am, Tommy is near”. The loss must be devastating… my deepest condolences to you and your families, Dick – and to all of us to whom you both were such a major part of our lives so long ago…
Dick died 27 yrs ago. their sister died in April.
@@Kristinapedia I think you might be getting confused there, as Tommy died recently and the information shared in the reports I’ve read was by Dick.
@@Kristinapedia
Dick is still living
@@simonrussell4986 No… the poster said “My deepest condolences to your family Dick”.
They were speaking to Dick. That’s why I said “Dick died 27 yrs ago”.
@@Kristinapedia where did you get that Dick died, as I’m saying he’s leading the condolences that I’ve read?
I’ve never laughed so hard while mourning the death of a beloved comedian. Thank you, Tommy, for all the years of making me laugh while making me think. You paved the way for so many of today’s intellectual funny people. Rest is laughter.
I so remember this, and I just couldn’t get over the spot-on impression. Ironically, he & his brother received the Johnny Carson Comedy Legend Award last year from the Great American Comedy Festival. Now he can do this again with Johnny & Ed . RIP to these three comedic giants 🙏✝️🎶🎤🎸🎶🎤🎤🎭🌈
I’d love to attend that festival. I know they have it in Johnny’s hometown of Norfolk, NE.
Well said
Absolutely..😂
Rip Thomas Bolyn Smothers lll, you will be missed
#impeccable
Always loved the Smothers brothers since I was a kid growing up in the 60’s. They had done the baby national policy joke for years and this was just as funny as I heard it the first time. Mom always liked Dickie best but Tommy was the funniest. True talent from those brothers. I heard today that Tommy is gone. I’ll see you soon enough Tommy and you’ll make me laugh again!
Such a funny & creative pair. Tommy was hilarious, and his impersonation of Johnny is great! I always hate to lose vestiges of my childhood.
I know. The Golden Age of Hollywood keeps whittling away!
a time when you actually needed talent to be on television
Thanks for the memories, Dick and Tommy! You really socked it to the networks, and were at the cutting edge of comedy and satire! RIP Tommy! Love ya both!
