The Tonight Show, Classics

Again, jokes from the classic days when Johnny Carson ran the show. On May 27, 1975, Johnny was offering suggestions for tourism: "Are you familiar with a beach down in San Diego called Black's Beach? They celebrated the first anniversary of a law that callowed nude bathing down there. And they had a great opening ... A hundred nude guys pushed this big cake out onto the beach, and a fully clothed girl jumped out." On June 22, 1983, he offered tourists checking out LA a handy tip: "If you're walking along Hollywood Boulevard, and you see a sign that says, 'good workout with the latest equipment,' it is not necessarily a health club." On April 7, 1989, he was in more of a newsy mood: ""I saw a shocking statistic today. Do you realize that by the time the average child in this country is eighteen years old, he will have seen Madonna's underwear 20,000 times?"
