This spoof of Johnny Carson's annual anniversary shows is unbelievably funny. It's a definite must-see for anyone who enjoys a good laugh. Notable moments are the flashback to when Garry had a famous psychic on his imaginary show, that told people stuff they wouldn't want to hear in a million years.

For example (I'm paraphrasing):

====================

A man steps forward to have his mind read and his future told.

The psychic says "I see a dog, I see a dog that looks like Lassie."

The man says, "That's my Collie Sparky!"

The psychic continues "I see Sparky is looking for you. [The audience says awww like they are looking at a cute baby] Sparky is running across the road. Sir I see that Sparky now has a license plate in his forehead. Your dog has just been run over by a 1981 Buick"

The man screams "Oh my god!" and starts crying.

The Psychic says, "Wait a second sir I was wrong"

The man says "Oh Thank the lord!"

The psychic says "It wasn't a Buick, it was Ford, your dog has just been killed by a Ford, sorry for the mistake about the Buick."

====================

That's the kind of humor you can expect from this show from beginning to end. Do yourself a favor, buy this VHS and you won't be sorry.
