Can you imagine how Johnny Carson would have handled Fuddgate?


How I wish he were still on the air.

1. Actually Johnny would have been fairly low-key
He was an understated kind of guy. Dave letterman is way more political than Johnny ever was:)

2. Carson could slay people with a raised eyebrow
He would have had a field day.

4. The Great Karmac says... "Minced meat."
Opens and reads message in envelope. "What does Dick Cheney make of fellow quail hunter's faces?"

6. I think you've got it!
The key to Carson's humor was deadpan and understatement. I watched Letterman's take on Quailgate and it was funny, but forgetable.

9. Carnac Joke......
Swiss cheese, a bowling ball, and Dick Cheney's hunting partner.







Name three things with holes in them.

10. Two things different from Leno and Letterman:
1) Carson was funny
2) Carson had class

He would have had a ball with this story.
