[Bobcat Goldthwait sets the Tonight Show on Fire - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4sOyrZKjgg) (clip is from Larry Sanders, but the Leno footage contained therein is legit)

I’ve heard mixed accounts of whether Leno was in on the gag or not. Goldthwait definitely got in some [minor legal trouble](http://articles.latimes.com/1994-09-15/local/me-38829_1_bobcat-goldthwait) and had to pay thousands of dollars in fines for the stunt.
