I remember Ed telling the story about a bit that Johnny was setting up. Johnny said to Ed did you know that studies have shown that mosquitoes are more likely to bite highly sexual people. Without missing a beat, Ed smacked his wrist (as though bitten by a mosquito) and said, “got him.” The audience roared with laughter. Ed said he looked at Johnny and he had a look in his eyes. It was then Ed noticed a whole box of props next to Johnny behind the desk. Ed had upstaged the bit and the boss. But Carson immediately turned it into how Ed had just destroyed the next 15 minutes. And he brought out the big props and turned Ed’s gaffe into comedy gold.

@@diamonddog13 Ed was not invited the the daily meeting with Johnny and the writers. Johnny, Ed and producer Fred DeCordova all agreed that Ed’s reactions should be spontaneous. Unless, of course, when it was a skit that involved Ed, like Carnak or Aunt Blabby.

Ed actually divorced his then wife Victoria 18 months after this show aired. Since Johnny was the CEO of Carson Productions, Ed, Doc, Fred and the orchestra were his employees and signed the paychecks. In later years they themselves stopped being employees and would sign contracts instead to save CP certain expenses. That is why JC referred to "you wouldnt talk to me this way a couple of years ago" which is a reference to the change in their status.

A lot of things made the show special, but, what stands out, we the viewer felt like we are part of the family. We get the inside jokes, we know by a smirk, or simple glance what the person is thinking. No one needs to explain why a simple remark is funny.

Graham Norton has said his approach to the talk show format now is a very relaxed attitude. Graham isn't your typical talk show host, he never really does a monologue, and he prefers now to talk with guests more than comedy routines. Also Tony, if you have never seen Graham Norton's earlier TV work, I suggest you be careful, as when he worked at Channel 4 here in Britain, he was not very family friendly.
