The two comedians traded jokes and stories throughout the event, which was laced with good-natured humor. Red’s sense of humor was on full display, harkening back to his childhood. Johnny started the conversation by complimenting Red on his height, to which Red answered with a joke about aging shrinkage.

Red went on to say that he didn’t allow his age to limit him and that he began each day by checking to see if he could see and smell before getting out of bed. The audience erupted in laughter, and Red responded with a quip about reading Playboy to get his heart going. Johnny inquired about Red’s fitness habits, but Red stated that he disliked it.

The topic then shifted to Red’s name, and he shared a humorous story about how he came up with his middle name, Bernard. Red’s teacher had asked for his middle name, but he didn’t know what it was, so he made one up.

The audience couldn’t stop laughing when Red made a joke about his wife’s food, and Johnny was impressed by Red’s quick wit and humor. Red’s performance on ‘The Tonight Show’ elicited laughter and highlighted his humorous talent.
