The King of Late Night (until he left the airwaves defeated and humiliated by Arsenio Hall) had a special touch with all of God's creatures. Be they birds, tigers, primates, or George Gobel. Let's take a look back at seven of Johnny Carson's greatest animal moments.

7.King Of Parrots

Johnny and the Luscious Joan Embery poke and prod a bush dog, a tiger, baby wolves, an ardvark, and Jim Fowler!



5.King Of Jim Fowler



In these assorted Jim Fowler clips, Johnny warns a bear not to drink from Ed McMahon's coffee mug. Also puppet emu and Richard Pryor!
