Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

This collection of Tonight Show clips opens with a song from the host. When Joan Embery, from the San Diego Zoo, brings a bush dog to the set, Johnny Carson croons a ballad to the little creature. Other surprises await as this set, which spans 1964-1989, defines "country" in the broadest possible terms. That means standup comedians (Blake Clark, a brunette Brett Butler), TV stars (Michael Landon, Jay "Tonto" Silverheels), ventriloquists (Ronn Lucas), poets (Baxter Black), and stuntmen (Hal Needham, Smokey and the Bandit). Even a horseshoe throwing champion, a cowbell collector, two hollerin' contest winners, and a 97-year-old farmer get in on the action. For most viewers, the highlights will be the music and guest spots from silver screen cowboys, like Roy Rogers and John Wayne in a surprise walk-on. Songs include "Streets of Bakersfield" (Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens), "Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days)" (the satin-suited Judds, giving the ladies of Dynasty a run for the money), and "Ring of Fire" (Johnny Cash, from a rare black and white kinescope). They’re fine performances all. As always, half the fun comes from Carson's deadpan reactions and valiant efforts to stifle the laughter when things get out of hand. Even a few non-country celebrities, like Ryan O'Neal, get roped into Carson Country. "I can't stand it!" exclaims Naomi Judd, when she realizes daughter Wynonna is sitting next to the Love Story star. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

5.0 out of 5 stars Johnny's Country, November 8, 2006
This is an interesting glimpse back into the huge variety of guests Johnny had on The Tonight Show. This single disc features a wide variety of "Country-Themed" guests that range from country comics and musical stars (there are really interesting early appearances by The Judds, and a terrific really early appearance by Johnny Cash), to cowboy stars (John Wayne does a funny walk on appearance), to real people like the country's oldest farmer. It's good clean fun. If you are a big Johnny fan and want to see more of his classic sketches, I would also recommend The Ultimate Johnny Carson Collection - His Favorite Moments from The Tonight Show (Vols. 1-3) (1962-1992)which is the most complete collection of his work.The Best of The Tonight Show - Stand-Up Comedians (2 Discs) is a really good choice if you want to see all the comics that appreared on The Tonight Show.

4.0 out of 5 stars "The King of Late Night" Goes Country, March 23, 2007
By Scott Rivers (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
"Carson Country" is an entertaining collection of classic "Tonight Show" material - most of it previously unreleased. Running more than 70 minutes, the DVD includes memorable appearances by Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens, The Judds, and Johnny Cash (who performs "Ring of Fire" in a rare kinescope). Comedy highlights range from Johnny's job interview with Jay "Tonto" Silverheels to a wild barroom brawl featuring Doug McClure, James Drury and stuntman Hal Needham. Docked one star for omitting Carson's hilarious 1976 rendition of "Rhinestone Cowboy," which he sang while mounted on a Shetland pony.
