Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon do Irish toasts on The Tonight Show in 1991

Check out Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon on The Tonight Show on March 15, 1991 as they rattle through some Irish toasts in honor of St. Patrick’s Day.

I love before the green beer toast as Ed McMahon chimes in with, “I’ll drink beer whatever color it is.” ….a true Irishman!

The Philharmoonic’s St. Patrick’s Day tribute at the end also reminds me just how different late night comedy is 24 years later.
