(Thursday, May 21, 1992, 11:35 p.m.-12:35 a.m. EDT) — Johnny Carson hosted the final regular edition (with guests in front of a studio audience) of “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson,” featuring Robin Williams and Bette Midler, who slowly sang the pop standard “One for My Baby (and One More for the Road).”

The final episode would be broadcast tomorrow, a retrospective show (without guests) taped before an invitation-only studio audience of family, friends, and crew.
