In 1970, having hosted The Tonight Show for a then-amazing seven years, Johnny Carson sat down with Phil Donahue for an interview.

There they are, talking about if Johnny can possibly host that program for another two or three years…and here we are, well aware he did for another 23. Donahue's callers and audience members ask some fairly lame questions but there are some good ones in there, too. This is in three parts which should play one after the other in the little player I've embedded below…
