Oct 6

Clearly the best of the bunch. Two of his funniest shows where when Ed Ames threw the tomahawk at a figure of a man on a board and it landed in the figure's crotch causing the audience to laugh. Of course, Carson was able to milk that moment for all it was worth.

Another was when Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise were on. Dom DeLuise was showing Carson a trick with eggs and it ended up the three of them smashing eggs on each other.
