Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 1992 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone remember a night in 1992 and watching Mary Tyler Moore and Dick Van Dyke appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno? I accidentally stumbled across the following web page, and I have no memory of this happening at the time.

Yes, I remember watching it. Although I can't tell you the date, I do know they were on together pre-1995.

They were promoting a PBS drama (I think it was on PBS) that they were both in. They didn't play Rob & Laura, but they joked that it was what they may have become. I watched it and was not all that impressed.

I don't know about the 1992 episode, but a couple of years ago they appeared on the Tonight Show to promote "The Gin Game," which was aired on PBS. I don't know what they were promoting in 1992 unless it was that the Dick Van Dyke Show was going to be on Nick-at-Nite.

Just out of curiosity, how did you manage to find that episode listing?

That's what I remember - them promoting "The Gin Game" on PBS. When was that? I said pre-'95 because of discussing it with people at work, but it could have been later.

"The Gin Game" premiered in May of 2003, so about 2 1/2 years ago. Now I'm really curious to know why they appeared on The Tonight Show in 1992!

If they came on before May of 92, Johnny Carson was still on.
Would they have come on to say goodbye to him?

Excellent thought!

"The Gin Game" was on in 2003? Wow, it seems longer ago than that. But that could be right. I worked with Debbi from 1993-1994 and again from 2001-2006. She is a big MTM fan since her mom looked just like MTM.

When did the reunion show air?

The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited? I believe that aired in May 2004.
