JOHNNY: Boy, it was cold outside today!
AUDIENCE: HOW COLD WAS IT???
JOHNNY: It was as cold as a witch's.........nose! Ha ha ha, I bet you thought I was going to say BLEEP!
I lost a lot of sleep staying up to watch him. There's one story that he said isn't true; supposedly he had Zsa Zsa Gabor on the show and she had a Persian cat in her lap, which she was stroking while she talked with Johnny:
ZSA ZSA: Johnny, vould you like to pet my pooosy?
JOHNNY: I'd love to but you'll have to move that damn cat!

Why was he so good?
Because he made it look so easy.
Because he never put on airs or acted like a typical celebrity moron.
Because he had perfect timing.
Because he kept his politics to himself.
BECAUSE HE WAS FUNNY! |

Johnny Carson once asked what may be the single greatest question any talk-show host has ever asked any guest.
Frank Sinatra was the guest, and as they were chatting Johnny said, "There's something I've always wanted to ask you. When you have a woman over at the house and you want to make out, whose records do you put on?"
Sinatra was so doubled-over laughing I don't remember whether he ever answered the question. |

I'd love to know if the story about an iterview with Mrs Arnold Palmer is true.
She mentioned Arnold likes her to kiss his (golf) balls before each tournament for luck, whereby Mr. Carson replied "that must make his putter stand up". Then the story has Mrs. Palmer walking off the set.
Emphysema--not a nice way to go. RIP. |
