Carson was a genius, and part of the fun was that he set up situations that would produce

Then there were his classics with Ed Ames, Dolly Parton, Sammy Davis Jr., et.al. Even the mythical stuff that never happened, like Zsa Zsa Gabor and Winnie Palmer, has become legendary. Carson leaves all the rest of 'em in his dust. We will never again see his equal.
