Goodnight, John. - Goodnight, Paul.

We all love the Get Back moment 'Goodnight, Paul - Goodnight, John'. Let's see where did it come from. As we know, John and Paul loved The Goon Show etc. One of this scatch show was Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, an American sketch comedy TV program, hosted by comedians Dan Rowan and Dick Martin. The first episode aired January 22, 1968. The show was characterized by a rapid-fire series of gags and sketches, many of which were politically charged or contained sexual innuendo. The co-hosts played roles of straight man (Dan Rowan) and "dumb guy" (Dick Martin).

After more short sketches leading into and out of the first commercial break, Rowan and Martin would walk in front of the show's homebase set to introduce the show and have a dialogue, generally consisting of Martin frustrating Rowan by derailing his attempt to do a proper introduction via misunderstandings or digressions.

You may say, and what? Just a moment :)

At the end of every show, after a final dialogue, Rowan turned to his co-host and said, "Say good night, Dick", to which Martin replied, "Good night, Dick!", leading into the final Joke Wall segment, in which the cast popped out of their doors and told jokes to the camera, each other, or Rowan and Martin, who stood in front. This would lead into and continue under the closing credits. One final batch of skits, including a closing appearance from Owens, and often an appearance from Arte Johnson's character, German soldier Wolfgang ("veeeeery eeenteresting!"), brought the episode to a conclusion. (info from Wiki)

So, our lads make show ('mach schau').

John hear Michael says to Tony Richmond, the head cameraman, 'Say when, Tony', and reacts: 'When, Tony. Goodnight, Dick.' Paul jiffy-quick digs it and answers: 'Goodnight, Dick.' And starts to tell some anecdot: 'Did I ever tell you about a hangover, man?' John: I don’t think I want to hear that, Dick. G— Seems like John is going to say 'Goodnight, Dick.' But Paul cuts in and say: 'Goodnight, John.' And John instead expected joky 'Goodnight, John.' answers 'Goodnight, Paul.' Paul insists and replicates Laugh-In words: 'Say goodnight, John.' But John says again: 'Goodnight, Paul.' And Paul laughs: 'Goodnight, John.' and begin to sing Two Of Us.

The same show they make January 14th, 1969:

JOHN: Ooh, the Queen of Sheba wore falsies. RINGO: [mock-surprise] I didn’t know that! JOHN: Didn’t you know that? You weren’t there at the time. [pause] Cleopatra was a carpet manufacturer. RINGO: I didn’t know that! JOHN: ‘Cause you weren’t there at the time. [pause] Edgar Allen Poe was a shithouse. RINGO: I didn’t know that! YOKO: What was John Lennon? JOHN: A patriot. [Yoko laughs] I didn’t know that. [laughter] JOHN & PAUL: “Goodnight, Dick.” [laughter] JOHN: [sighs] That was Lennon and McCartney. Northern Sheds. Great Western Railway. PAUL: Songs for all functions. JOHN: Ross-Upon-Wye. PAUL: Nige-Whalley-Mange. JOHN: Ilford two, Western Middlodeons – terrible.
