Some of my favorite episodes had Buddy Rich. Carson, being a drummer himself, always set Buddy up for something. One time he had the stage hands fill Buddy's floor tom with milk. Buddy was in the middle of making his opening run and slammed the tom, losing his sticks and splattering milk all over the stage. After they recovered from laughing their collective donkeys off, he finished the tune. Classic stuff!
