The Tonight Show

To Promote "Topper"

1979

Johnny Carson: Kate Jackson, along with her husband, actor Andrew Stevens, they're doing a movie for television called, "Topper". That's going back a few years, in the 30s, around 1937, something like that when it first came out. It airs this Friday on another network. She's a lovely lady, would you welcome Kate Jackson.

Applause. Kate enters carrying a basket with two adorable puppies.

Johnny: Hi Kate, how are you?

Kate: Fine thank you. I brought you a basket of puppies. People have been asking me if I was going to have kids, and I had puppies instead. You like them?

Johnny: I was making a change back stage, and I hardly had time to say, "hi, how are you" and I went and I saw you with this basket and I didn't even get a look at it.

Kate: Let me put the basket down.

Johnny: You've gotta see this. They are absolutely adorable.

Kate: Can you see her? She's listening. This is Dolly Dumps, she's going to have blue eyes. And this is The Pope. These puppies are four weeks old, they're real big!

Johnny: Those are Siberian Huskies?

Kate: Yes, Siberian Huskies.

Johnny: awww... now they're a little nervous.

Kate: See, his ear is just starting to stand up.

Johnny: Look at that! They're shaking because they're scared a little bit.

Kate: Yea, I just wanted to bring them out to say hello.

Johnny: Do you raise these professionally or?

Kate: No. My dog that I've had for about 4 years, we bred her and she looked like she was gonna have... the breeders thought she would have 5 to 7 and instead she dropped these two footballs.

Ed: Look at her Johnny, she knows that I'm the one that sells the dog food.

Laughter

Johnny: Those are beautiful!

Kate: Okay, I want to take them back now so that nobody gets upset because they're so young.

Johnny: Yea, they'll get a little upset out here with the lights and everything.

Kate: Is Rick over there? Thank you.

Johnny: You may never see them again, once the staff sees. Those are adorable. Now those dogs get to be very large do they not?

Kate: Not really, they don't.

Johnny: Really? Oh I'm thinking of St. Bernards, of course.

Kate: They're smaller than German Shepherds, and they look a lot like Malamutes but they're smaller. They're sort of delicate dogs really.

Johnny: Are you going to keep them now? Or do you?

Kate: Oh yea!

Johnny: You get so attached? It's tough when they're like that. All animals when they're small you say, well I'll sell them or give them away to a friend. And all of a sudden they're around a few weeks...

Kate: Well, we'll keep them.

Johnny: Do you have room to keep a dog? There's a law here in California. You can keep so many dogs on your property.

Kate: I think you can have three but you know, but we're right outside of the city limits so we can have more.

Johnny: Are these the only two you have?

Kate: No, now we have four. The mother of these two and their half brother.

Johnny: It's nice to see you again.
