Yes! I remember watching it. It was such an awkward yet "Go Johnny!" moment. John Denver was making comments against Jehovah Witnesses, I forgot what exactly. And Johnny Carson interrupted him and told them that he had friends and people who worked for him who were Jehovah Witnesses and that they were some of the nicest people he knew. Then he told John Denver that he'd appreciate if he left his show. When he left, the audience was like dead quiet, and then they applauded.
I believe John Denver had many issues with the Witnesses but the most obvious one was on the flag salute.
The alleged incident is an urban legend. John Denver was both a host and a guest on The Tonight Show several times. Other than this legend, I've not found any evidence that he and Johnny Carson ever had a falling out. Furthermore, I have not found any evidence that Denver had hard feelings towards Jehovah's Witnesses. Please go to snopes.com for the explanation behind this and similar urban legends about celebrities allegedly having a beef against some religious or racial group and the righteous talk show host who kicked the celebrity off his or her show. All such stories are urban legends. I have tried to correct this answer in the past. Answers.com continues to post erroneous answers in support of the legend as the "best" answer to the question.
Ask yourselves this: if an incident such as this had happened on a nationally broadcast talk show watched by millions of people, wouldn't millions of people remember it, not just your crazy cousin or a co-worker who is obsessed with conspiracy theories? Wouldn't there be video or pictures of the incident? Wouldn't there be archived news stories of the incident? You wouldn't have to come to Answers.com to get an answer to the question. If the incident had really happened, there would be evidence from reliable sources all over the Internet.
