On this night the tray on his desk holds Myrtle Youngʹs prized possessions. “I donʹt really want to handle this because they could break,” the Tonight Show host says, so Young carefully displays the first precious object. It looks like “an angry dog,” she suggests, or “an angry bear.” And indeed, the potato chip in her hand does have a distinct canine appearance. In fact, all of Youngʹs potato chips look like something else, which is why this lady from Fort Wayne, Indiana, collects them. “This is a little sleeping bird. Isnʹt that cute?” she asks, and the audience aahs in agreement. Carson has just admired a chip that resembles a candle when Ed McMahon distracts her. Young turns to look at the announcer and-crunch!-all eyes flock to Carson, who has just bitten into a potato chip. Young is nearly in cardiac arrest, her hand clutching her chest, her mouth agape, her wide-eyed expression full of shock and betrayal. How could he munch a work of art? Carson, the grand master of timing, lets the gag play out for a while, then assures Young, “No, no.” He reaches down to hold up a big bowl of chips he put behind his desk just for this priceless prank. The laughs go on for minutes.
