The Tonight Show

Charles Nelson Reilly was an actor that was know for appearing in the shows The Dean Martin Show and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. He was also a regular on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, being featured over a hundred times.

There is no reason to believe Seth Meyers will be taking over as host of The Tonight Show.

Carson was 37 years old.

As he put it, he was tired of the grind of putting together a 105 minute show every night, although he admitted to Dick Cavett leaving when he did was a big mistake.

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.

Yes. Can't remember the date, but Johnny was in ill health by the time he appeared on the show. I remember the show becasue Carson convinced Weissmuller to give the Tarzan yell and he did. Although the yell was a little "broken" the crowd still gave a standing ovation to a real gentlemen.

Whether he ate there before taping The Tonight Show has evidently been lost to history but according to the web, two of his favorite places to eat were, Matteo's Restaurant & Chasen's
