Johnny Carson's 9 Most Heated Moments That Went Too Far.

Johnny Carson and The Tonight Show had some of the most heated moments in late-night TV history. These 9 nights went too far, from tense guest clashes to the shocking moment Carson told Ed McMahon, “You’re upsetting me.” For decades, Johnny Carson controlled the most famous chair on television. But on these nights, the jokes stopped feeling safe, the audience didn’t know whether to laugh, and Carson had to decide whether to save his guests — or let the cameras expose them. Featuring Richard Pryor, Charles Grodin, Chevy Chase, Orson Welles, Robert Blake, Betty White, Joan Rivers, Marlon Brando, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and Ed McMahon. #johnnycarson #thetonightshow #oldhollywoodgossip #classichollywood #EdMcMahon #richardpryor #joanrivers #bettywhite #latenighttv #hollywoodstories
