I’ve been wanting to ask this for at least 14 years…
I distinctly remember during his former NBC show he briefly flashed a polaroid of something furry, and made some comment about someone having a “wild time tonight” (more or less exact words). It was a close-up of something rather bush-like. I don’t think this was one of his (originally Thursday night) “letters” segments, or someone really sending something to his desk.
I know the obvious answer is such a picture would not get past the censors, but a close up polaroid of something furry isn’t exactly porn…just, well was it something?
Or maybe my juvenile mind hallucinated some of the details. I do know he whipped out a rather odd polaroid though. Anyone else have such a recollection. I admit it wasn’t quite on the level of Andy Kaufman and Jerry Lawler, Crispin Glover’s headkick, Madonna and Sarah Bernhart in bustiers, or Sonny and Cher’s reunion; but it was a wierd moment - and I have very vivid memories of other minutiae that went on on his show. I know others here do as well.
