One of the most incredible interviews in the history of television occurred on March 1. Johnny Carson tried to have a candid discussion with Cindy Lauper. In between her songs "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" and "Time after Time" (fortunately, she performed with her band, and not with the NBC Orchestra), Cindy told Carson all about "politeness, etiquette and grooming" as it relates to pro wrestling. She mentioned that she will go shopping at Goodwill, and that she was all set for her tour stop in Hawaii because she "already bought a hula skirt and a muu-muu."

But I can't believe it could compare with David Letterman's interview (??) of Nastassia Kinski. Does anyone who's seen both care to do a side-by-side comparison?? -- Pardon me for breathing, which I never do anyway oh, god, I'm so depressed... Rich Rosen pyuxn!rlr

As long as sombody's going to be doing this, could they summarize the content (highlights) of the interviews for those of who did'nt see them (but are intensely curious due to previous articles). Thanx... Sy Ali (...!alberta!syali)

Johnny was reported to have had another very interesting interview with Mrs Arnold Palmer. The details that I heard sounded to much like urban folklore to be posssible even for Johnny. Anyway Mrs Palmer was telling Johnny that to give her husband luck she would take his golf balls and kiss them. You can imagine what his response was. John Eaton !hplabs!hp-pcd!john

The version I heard of the Mrs. Arnold Palmer story was that he asked her
whether she had any special good-luck gesture for Arnold; she replied, "Yes,
I kiss his balls." Johnny's reply was "Well, I'll bet that makes his putter
stand up on end!". The other Carson story involved Eva (or maybe Zsa Zsa)
Gabor, who was sitting in the primary guest chair with a cat in her lap.
She asked Johnny, "Would you like to play with (or maybe pet -gh) my
pussy?" Johnny's reply was "Yes, if you get that cat off your lap first!"
Are these apocryphal or does somebody have evidence that they actually
happened?

Did you see the one when during the monologue Carson noticed Tommy
Newsome(?) rubbing his eye. Carson inquired if Tommy had something
in his eye to which Newsome deadpanned:
"A pubic hair"
The network bleeped most of it, but those of us with minds in the
gutter caught it. Carson was cracked up for the rest of his monologue.
Another old one I only heard about was with Peter Sellers. This was back
in the days when Carson held up the products he was promoting.
That night it was unbreakable plates and dishes. Sellers reached over,
picked up a plate and threw it on the floor, where it broke.
So Carson tried it with the same result. The remainder of the
show was interspersed with Carson and Sellers breaking plates.
They lost that sponser!
