Storyline
This collection of Tonight Show clips opens with a song from the host. When Joan Embery, from the San Diego Zoo, brings a bush dog to the set, Johnny Carson croons a ballad to the little creature. Other surprises await as this set, which spans 1964-1989, defines "country" in the broadest possible terms. That means standup comedians (Blake Clark, a brunette Brett Butler), TV stars (Michael Landon, Jay "Tonto" Silverheels), ventriloquists (Ronn Lucas), poets (Baxter Black), and stuntmen (Hal Needham, Smokey and the Bandit). Even a horseshoe throwing champion, a cowbell collector, two hollerin' contest winners, and a 97-year-old farmer get in on the action. For most viewers, the highlights will be the music and guest spots from silver screen cowboys, like Roy Rogers and John Wayne in a surprise walk-on. Songs include "Streets of Bakersfield" (Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens), "Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days)" (the satin-suited Judds, giving the ladies of Dynasty a run for the money
