Way back - about 1965 I think - I was in New York and got tickets to see the Carson show. The brain isn't what it used to be and I can't remember much except that he kept the audience in stitches. The one thing I do remember is when he was setting up for a commercial break. The sponsor was some sort of spray deodorant and he held up a can and sprayed it as he was saying something like "Here is what (brand x) deodorant can do for you." and the cameras were off while the commercial ran. Unfortunately he had been holding the spray can so the label would show but the nozzle was turned back at him and the spray went up his sleeve. It wasn't heard on the commercial, but the audience heard him say "blow your damn arm, off that's what it'll do."
