I did not see Danny DeVito on Carson, but although I was intrigued by the "polishing" explanation for the title "Romancing the Stone", I got a different impression from viewing the movie. Near the end, DeVito claims that, although he is a thief, he is at least HONEST (sic) about it. He accuses Michael Douglas of being a con man, and of "romancing the stone away from her [Kathleen Turner]", by convincing her that she/they need it. But after the rather inspired explanation by Gary Murakami, I'm not so sure. Probably we'll never know. SJBerry
