All-Star Inaugural Gala

Johnny Carson:
Mr. Reagan, if your movies drew crowds like this, you wouldn't have had to get into politics.

Bob Hope:
Ronnie Reagan's great. He's not a politician, he's an actor. He doesn't know how to lie, exaggerate or cheat - he always had an agent for that.

Johnny Carson:
This is the first administration to have a premiere.

Johnny Carson:
I don't mean to ignore you, Vice President Bush, but you'd better get used to it. A lot of people took a step down to join the Reagan Administration. George Bush made the biggest sacrifice of all. He gave up public life to become Vice President.
