It was a Monday 43 years ago when millions of Americans could tune into NBC without being lectured about their "white privilege" or told America was evil. Johnny Carson delivered comedy that brought families together instead of tearing them apart.

Malcolm's latest reflection on those golden days of entertainment hits like a sledgehammer when you realize what we've lost. Carson's toilet paper jokes made people smile - not cringe in embarrassment at vulgar attacks on traditional values.

Think about it, patriots. When was the last time you watched late-night TV without being bombarded by Trump Derangement Syndrome? When did Hollywood comedians stop hating half their audience?

The Fall of American Entertainment

Carson built his career making Oscar-worthy content that celebrated American life, not mocked it. He talked about farm health and everyday concerns that real Americans cared about. Compare that to today's late-night hosts who spend every monologue parroting Democrat talking points and pushing climate change hysteria.

"Johnny Carson gave his opening monologue that made everyone at least smile, not cringe," Malcolm recalls, highlighting what true entertainment looked like before Hollywood went full woke.

This isn't just nostalgia - it's a reminder of what American culture can be when it's not poisoned by leftist ideology. Carson didn't need to attack conservatives to get laughs. He didn't push transgender propaganda on children or lecture audiences about systemic racism.

He simply entertained Americans without hating America.

Making Entertainment Great Again

With President Trump back in the White House and the woke mind virus finally being rejected by real Americans, maybe we can return to entertainment that builds up our country instead of tearing it down.

The contrast couldn't be clearer: Johnny Carson's wholesome humor versus today's hate-filled, anti-American comedy industrial complex. We know which one made America stronger.

Will Hollywood learn from Carson's legacy, or will they keep alienating the very Americans who made them rich? The choice is theirs - but we're not holding our breath.

Malcolm gets it completely right. Comedy used to bring people together, now it's just another weapon in the culture war. When did making people laugh become secondary to making them angry?

This hits home so hard! I remember watching comedians like Bob Hope and Johnny Carson who could make us laugh WITHOUT tearing down everything we hold dear. My kids don't understand why I can't stand today's comedy specials - it's because they've forgotten how to be funny without being hateful.

Bob Hope entertaining our troops overseas - THAT was comedy with heart and purpose!

Johnny Carson was a master at poking fun at politicians from BOTH sides without the vicious hatred we see today.
