11:30 The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson - Rich Little guest hosts; guests are Buddy Ebsen and Roy Rogers

Would like to have seen that.....Little was no doubt impersonating both...

Little did a flawless Carson. Johnny loved to tell the story of the first time he heard Rich "doing" him -- he was in another room where he could hear, but not see, the TV, and his first thought was, "Why are they rerunning one of my old shows at this odd hour?"

Rich Little would later play Johnny Carson in the 1996 HBO movie The Late Shift.
