Buddy Rich on Johnny Carson (original air date Nov. 21, 1979)

This is not the complete show. Before 1980, the show was 90 minutes. This is the show that had Johnny and Doc talking about Thanksgiving. Ed was off that night on his way to New York to cover the Macy's Parade. Thanksgiving that year was on November 22. This show aired the night before that. Guests included Tony Randall, and drummer Buddy Rich. This clip includes the opening monologue, the segment at the desk, (Johnny and Doc) and the segment at the end of Tony Randall's interview leading into Buddy Rich, followed by Buddy's smoking hot performance with the Tonight Show band (he was always incredible to watch). Funniest five minutes in TV history!
