Classic. I miss Johnny and I remember that segment well. My Dad would let me watch it when I was a kid... Peter Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Martin Stark Who remembers the classic? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L5QC9ZJkM8 The following from Wikipedia: The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson
While playing Mingo on television, Ames developed some skill in throwing a
tomahawk. This led to one of the most memorable moments of his career, when he appeared on
The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on April 27, 1965. During the course of the show, Ames and
Johnny Carson were discussing Ames' tomahawk throwing abilities. When Ames claimed that he could hit a target from across the room, Carson asked Ames if he could demonstrate this skill. Ames agreed, and a wood panel with a chalk outline of a cowboy was
brought on to the stage. As the studio band played a bar of The Adventures of Pow Wow theme, Ames proceeded to throw the tomahawk, which hit the
"cowboy" square in the groin with the handle pointing upward. This led to a very long burst of laughter from the audience, which has been called the longest sustained laugh by a live audience in television history. After a moment, Ames proceeded to walk toward
the target to retrieve the tomahawk but Carson stopped him and allowed the situation to be appreciated for its humor. Carson ad-libbed: "I didn't even know you were Jewish!" and "Welcome to
Frontier Bris." Ames then asked Carson if he would like to take a turn throwing, to which Carson replied: "I can't hurt him any more than you did." The clip became a favorite of Carson's own
yearly highlight show and subsequent
blooper television specials.[8][9]
