Best Answer

The most

frequent guest hosts during the first 21 years were:

Joey Bishop (177 times), Joan Rivers (93 times),

Bob Newhart (87 times), John Davidson (87 times),

David Brenner (70 times), McLean Stevenson (58 times),

Jerry Lewis (52 times), and David Letterman (51 times).

Joan Rivers was the "permanent" (and only) guest host

from September 1983 until 1986. The Tonight Show

reverted to various guest hosts after Joan left, with

Jay Leno the most frequent. Leno then became the

exclusive guest host in the fall of 1987, a position

he held for the remainder of Johnny's rein.
