» » The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson Buddy Hackett/Dave Thomas/Teresa Ganzel (1962–1992)

Short summary

The comedy segment is a series of three local newscasts with many tongue-twisting blurbs for upcoming stories; Teresa Ganzel and Fred Holliday play the other anchors. Buddy Hackett starts doing a routine about a Filipino, changing the words that have to be bleeped for broadcast. This leads to more stories from his act. Dave Thomas talks about many subjects in response to Johnny's questions: His Bob Hope impression, SCTV, his kids, his father (a philosophy professor), not liking exercise, and other impressions he does. Teresa Ganzel talks about sending her dog to obedience school, and her former boyfriend.
