Johnny Carson promos, 1976

By 1976, Johnny Carson was big enough that he probably didn't need to do many promos, let alone local promos.  I'm guessing the Chicago numbers were a little softer than other big cities?  So he agreed to sit for this amusing sequence of short ID/promos for WMAQ, Channel 5.  The best part is near the end, when he clearly gets loose enough to ad-lib.
