Marilyn's Photos - Oct 5 2026 - Dolly and Freddie and Johnny
I am currently practicing Christmas songs for the choir's Christmas concert. They are generally nice songs to sing. We have practice tracks for our parts and we can listen to full choir versions with the same harmonies. Listening to the choir for one of the songs, I notice in the sidebar Dolly Parton sitting next to Freddie Mercury on the Johnny Carson sofa with a headline saying Freddie Mercury DARED Dolly Parton to sing Bohemian Rhapsody live...what happened next shocked everyone. So I went over and took a look. However, there was no live coverage of the event. It was a voice-over pseudo-documentary with stills. If they had sung that together or if Dolly Parton had ever sung Bohemian Rhapsody on Johnny Carson, we would know it. A specific date was given for this historic musical moment, and no Dolly or Freddie was on that night. Not any night together.
We can expect that Dolly Parton was on Johnny Carson - that's a definite American moment - she was on 25 times. But nothing like Bob Hope who had the most guest appearances - an estimated 131. Then comes Joan Rivers with 105, David Steinberg, with 105, Tony Randall, with 104, Charles Nelson Reilly with 97, Orson Bean with 93, and Dr. Joyce Brothers with 90.
Was Freddie Mercury ever on Johnny Carson? No. I can't imagine he would have been invited and it confirms he wasn't.
That "DARED" video floods Facebook, TikTok, and Youtube Music - it is by far the most popular of the pairing of fake Dolly Parton and Freddie Mercury videos. There's more - "The Moment Dolly Parton Saved Freddie Mercury's Performance" and "Freddie Mercury Challenged Dolly Parton to Perform Without Her Wig".
Even the video that headlined it was exposing the fake videos is an exploitation video. So many levels of fakes.
Here's one of my favourite Grimsby gardens - on Robinson Street. The house was originally built in the 1800s. Maybe part of my enjoyment of the garden is their Cavalier King Charles dog.
