Known as an intensely private man, Johnny Carson turns down most requests for interviews, though he did agree recently to pose for the cover of Life magazine for a story written by Calvin Trillin, a frequent guest on ”The Tonight Show.”
But Carson has assembled what he calls a list of answers to questions that journalists are free to make up. The answers:
1. Yes, I did.
2. Not a bit of truth in that rumor.
3. Only twice in my life, both times on Saturday.
4. I can do either, but I prefer the first.
5. No. Kumquats.
6. I can`t answer that question.
7. Toads and tarantulas.
8. Turkestan, Denmark, Chile and the Komandorskie Islands.
9. As often as possible, but I`m not very good at it yet. I need much more practice.
10. It happened to some old friends of mine, and it`s a story I`ll never forget.
