Johnny Carson delivers a hilarious Willie Nelson–style impression on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, singing “To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before” while joking about the many women in his life. The joke lands even harder as B-roll of Carson’s wives appears, turning the song into a self-aware late-night roast.

What makes this moment work is Carson’s timing. He leans fully into the laid-back Willie Nelson cadence, lets the lyrics breathe, and trusts the audience to connect the dots. The humor isn’t rushed—it builds through recognition, rhythm, and perfect restraint.

The setup is classic late-night simplicity. Carson introduces the bit, slips into the unmistakable voice, and lets the song do the work. The turn comes when the lyrics mirror his own romantic history. The escalation happens as the visuals reinforce the joke, and the punch lands with sustained audience laughter. It’s parody, confession, and performance all wrapped into one.

Moments like this show why Johnny Carson defined late-night television. The mix of charm, self-deprecation, and musical comedy still feels effortless decades later.
