6 of 10. I loved his show but never paid much attention to the details. Maybe METV could possibly start airing his syndicated shows like they air The Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday,(hint hint)

Despite my score, I still think johnny Carson was the best talk show host. Along with his great comic timing, he had a way of making any guest, and also the audience, feel special and comfortable.

Me too. That was one of the questions I got wrong. I thought for sure it was Joan Rivers. I don't even remember Joey Bishop being on there, or even what he looks like.

I loved The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, especially when the animals from the San Diego Zoo visited.
I also will never forget when Ed Ames threw the tomahawk and hit the target in a very strategic place.
My favorite guest was Don Rickles for comedic genius !!

I don't recall Carson miming golf swings when jokes bombed. I remember he concluded his Tonight Show monologues with a golf swing.
Another MeTV quiz error??
