It's not "The Carson Show". It's "The Tonight Show". You may, if you wish, add "starring Johhny Carson" (but who would?). You may even refer to it informally as "Carson", referring to the man, not the show, such as "I watched Carson last night". However, such phrases as "Joan Rivers was on Carson the other night" are improper, in addition to being ribald. Looking down from his high horse, -Jack Applin (hplabs!hp-dcd!jack)
