On June 17, 1981, Johnny Carson made a weather-related observation. "It was 107 degrees somewhere in Los Angeles today. But you know what everybody says? I love this -- 107 today and they say, 'But there's no humidity in California!' There's no humidity in a nuclear meltdown either!" On April 15, 1986, Johnny Carson levelled with his audience on another matter: "California ball players, let's be honest, are a little too mellow. Out here, a player steals a base and he has to go to a psychiatrist to deal with the guilt." And last than a month later, May 8, 1986, he was in a re-assuring mood. He told them: "Do not worry. I want to point out that the radiation from the applause sign is equivalent tro only two dental X-rays."
