His name is Sean Morey.

I caught this on reruns of 'The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson', circa
1980 around 10PM last night:

I found him very funny, especially when a family member tried to lay on
the vegetarian guilt trip. Hey, the aminals can run. Plants can't get
away. LOL

I'd never seen him before nor heard of him since. He had me laughing so
after I saw it on TV last night I looked it up. ;)

OMG, the juggling and political humor was great. Nine minutes well
spent watching him.
Carson had some good acts.

I used to think Carson was lame, but now I've started watching his shows and they are fascinating...I also catch the re-runs of The Dick Cavett Show...interesting and in - depth interviews...

Carson's sense of humor is one of the most finely - honed I've seen...

I used to watch that show occasionally. He often did his own commercials
for a sponsor right as a part of the show.

A classic funny one:
One night he did one for a brand of dog food. They put some in a bowl
then brought out a dog to eat it.

The dog was led to the bowl, took one sniff then wandered off.
So they brought him back to the bowl and again, he sniffed it and
wandered away.

That wasn't supposed to happen so Cavett dropped down on his knees and
pretended to eat some, then looked back up and said something like, "yum
yum, this food is delicious."

Good "save" and so funny.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting the juggling and 1980's political commentary
bit at the end.
