In the good old days, it wasn't so.

Joan Rivers and Carson were great friends. She "sat in" for him dozens of times, was a very popular guest when she wasn't subbing for him. She relates how she was fortunate to get a night time show on Fox. She said she knew she got the offer from Fox because of her exposure on Johnny Carson's show and was so thrilled and excited that she called him to thank him and share her good fortune.

When she told Carson about her good fortune, he hung up the phone and never spoke to her again.

My, how times have changed!
