Almost two years after his farewell appearance on The Tonight Show, Johnny Carson made a surprise cameo on the Late Show With David Letterman, on this date. This was his last-ever TV appearance before his death in January 2005.
Just before Carson’s death in 2005, CBS executive Peter Lassally revealed something interesting. Lassally, who produced both Letterman and Carson during his long career, revealed that Carson would occasionally send jokes directly to Letterman.
