I've never seen this stunt before -- I thought it was pretty inventive.

Last night (Thursday, 16 May), Johnny Carson appeared on two 
programs in a row -- the first was, of course, *The Tonight Show*.
The second was *Late Night with David Letterman*, where 
he appeared as a guest.  At any rate, Carson told only the 
opening to a joke on *The Tonight Show* and then told only the 
punch-line on *Late Night*.  The joke itself wasn't so bad, and 
here is how it went: 

On *The Tonight Show*:

	    A man came to a woman's door and said to her,
	"I have some terrible news for you.  Your husband
	just drowned in a beer vat."

	    The woman, stricken by grief, said, "Oh, the poor
	dear.  He didn't even have a chance."

On *Late Night*:

	    The man replied, "Well, I wouldn't be so sure, lady.
	He got out to go to the bathroom three times."
