Amazing interview. This guy is a real life Grandpa Simpson.
It makes me realize how that character really nailed the mannerisms and vocabulary of that generation.
That brightened up my day
Love this!
I watch old Carson episodes **[here](https://www.shoutfactorytv.com/series/the-johnny-carson-show)**.
Love that out of the people on stage that Betty White was the young whippersnapper.
I actually remember this interview. I saw this when I was 9 years old in 1988. Stayed up late because we were in a year round track school and on our break. Just loved the way he would say “YESSSSSSSSS!” as a preface to his answers. Evidently, he passed away the following year at 98. Sounds like he had a simple, but full life.
I wonder if the farm is still in the family
Johnny was great too here. You can tell he has a lot of respect for Mr Heaton and appreciates his being on the show.
That guy is like a blueprint for Norm MacDonald.
“Electricity”.
Hope I’m that spry if I happen to make it to 90.
