Quotes 

• Johnny Carson : [during a sketch about rejected Disney characters]  We're doing our best here. Y'know, we don't intentionally do a bad show. Y'know, it's like, people say "Boy, that was a lousy motion picture." You come out to do a good picture. We come out to do a good television show. Some are good, some are bad. But we don't TRY to be bad. People don't seem to understand that.

  Ed McMahon : You want a Kleenex?

  Johnny Carson : There are hills- Yes.

  [wipes eyes] 

  Johnny Carson : I mean, damn, you know, we work at this. We try. We draw these things, we try to write funny little things, and then people boo, and it hurts.

  [audience awws] 

  Johnny Carson : You damn betcha.
