Carson was a class act. Johnny had running gags about Wayne Newton. Finally, Newton confronted Johnny and told him the series of gags was harming his career. Carson discontinued the gags. Now an awful lot of the jokes are political and most of those have a left slant.

When Jack Paar was taken off the air for the joke "The Wayside Chapel" I was in High school. My Civics class was taught by the coach and he told the class that my mother had told him that joke and he didn't consider it off color. The entire class turned their heads and looked at me. Jeeze!
