Well, it wasn't a joke that I can recite. You may recall that Carnac would always appear to trip or stumble as he made his way to Carson's desk. One evening the staff had a very convincing-looking desk made of balsawood and when Carnac did his usual stumbling routine and caught himself on the desk, it collapsed into a pile of splinters. This is just the sort of thing Carson was so good at maximizing. I laughed until tears rolled down my face. I guess you either liked the Carnac skit or you didn't. I thought it usually was hilarious. Don't recall ever seeing a bad one.
