Quotes 

• Johnny Carson : Let me tell you about Burbank - it's exactly like Philadelphia, but without the excitement of cream cheese.

• Johnny Carson : [on Jimmy Carter's election by the Electoral College]  He is officially, I guess, the 39th President of the United States. And what that means is - from now on, Billy Carter will have... will have round-the-clock Secret Service protection for his six-pack.

• Doc Severinsen : [on Johnny buying perfume for his teenage girlfriend]  Did you get your money's worth?

  Johnny Carson : I went for the $9.50, got my girl the Evening in Paris; well, I did not have an evening in Paris. Slow night in Norfolk was what it was.

• Johnny Carson : [on Richard Pryor's jail term for tax evasion]  Didn't you declare everything? Or did you take the deductions?

  Richard Pryor : I told the judge - I said, "Your Honor, I forgot." You know... He said, "You'll remember next year."
