In celebration of the fact that next year, the Tonight Show will be hosted by someone who's actually funny, here's some clips from the king of them all, y'all.

Yeah, I have to shampoo a dog. But Gobel is great. In fact, the line that the title of this entry refers to is one of my all-time favorites to quote.
