May 21, 1992…Johnny Carson’s Final Guest, Bette Midler, 3 Songs

On the night before the final show, there could not have been a more perfect final guest, or send off than the one seen here. Most mostly remember Bette’s final song, but before you watch that, watch the first two songs for the context of the night.

“The Divine Mrs. M”, came to the set and presented her “fan letter” as only she could have, which included a song about Johnny, and another with Johnny…the one he wrote. To finish off the night, she sang yet another, with the camera over her left shoulder, watching Johnny. At the end, you see her run off stage just before she bursts into tears. What a night! What a show! What a great a great way to go! More tomorrow… -Bobby Ellerbee

If you want the answer to the trivia question “Who was the final guest of “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson?” it would be Bette Midler. That next to last…

    Carson, Ed and Robin are gone, and Bette is on Broadway!

    Imagine being Robin Willams snd Bette Midler and having Johnny call and say, “I want you to be my final guests.” Who needs Oscars with an anointing like that?
